This Girl Forced to Become an Entertainment Company Boss

[Reading Notice]

“The whole story is set in an ideal world for fans chasing stars.”

“The main storyline is about a company’s growth and expansion through idol group management.”

“The protagonist of this story is only the female lead, **while the supporting roles’ storylines all serve the protagonist’s growth.**”

Jiang Juyou, who graduated from a second-tier university, was on the verge of giving up after having a breakdown from her internship. Suddenly she saw a job posting:

“Looking for interns, 9 to 5, weekends off, social insurances and housing fund provided after being converted to formal employee, internship certificate provided, monthly intern salary 8500, food and housing included, formal salary negotiable, requirement: strong stress resistance.”

It’s a perfect trap for college students.

Worried that it might be a scam but still went anyway. After arriving, she –

“Ding-”

“Welcome to the Entertainment Company Operations Manual!”

Got bound to a system.

“What the hell?”

Bound to the system, Jiang Juyou was forced to become an entertainment company boss, and so she became someone she hated but also wanted to be – the rich.

[I’m crying but I’m pretending I’m not.jpg]

Jiang Juyou’s company became a wind vane in the entertainment industry:

She introduced a new talent show format, and those shows followed suit.

She created new conceptual peripherals, and those companies followed suit.

She operated a new model boy group, and those companies also follo…can’t copy, because Jiang Juyou spent too much money.

The fan community shook daily, but Jiang Juyou dodged a bullet.

Fans:

“To the company: Made the petty Entertainment die. To Jiang Juyou: [wry smile] I’ll let you off this time.”

“Lol, Jiang Juyou got lightly let off because she’s too pretty!”

“Can scold the company but don’t scold Jiang Juyou!”

“Every time I see Jiang Juyou training trainees, I think why isn’t she training me (sorry)”

After Random Entertainment became the hottest company in the industry, Jiang Juyou was isolated by capital.

Capital didn’t play with her, so she became capital herself, becoming the main seat at the table, becoming the one everyone had to suck up to –

[Background setting: Jiang Juyou time traveled, lost her memories due to the impact of space-time, but her subconscious would drive her actions.] [The male lead is the background board system]

Fun, tedious, comedic daily grinding of building company from scratch. Game-like management with system! Unlock features, solve tasks, level up and repeat.

Our dirt poor MC racking her brain to make money, get in debt to pay new debt while paying old debt. Scam or not, she has nothing to lose. Hardest internship ever, at least she is a boss. A generous capitalist at that ;)

Kinda annoying.

I don't know whether it was the translation or writing, but the jumps between scenes seemed choppy. And the treatment of side characters upto now is horrendous.

On another note, the FMC is definitely a bad boss. Excessive pressure, encouraging not so friendly competition, pushing unrealistic expectations onto her trainees. She's guilty of all of it. She's so desperate to make money that it seems too fast.

... more>> Eg. Typically trainees require years of training before being ready for debut, but she expects them to be ready in a few months time.

The system is also not very well explained. Giving her buildings (in Beijing!) really pushes my suspension of disbelief to the limit. I mean, the system said it only paid a little/slightly above market in the beginning so as to avoid detection but giving her buildings is not detectable? One building would have been ok, but more than that? Nope, just no way.

But I'm dropping this relatively early so I'll give 3 stars for benefit of doubt. <<less

Misclicked, it should be 3.5 or 3.9 in rating.

It should be a good enough novel and a worthwhile read, but there are some things that bring it down.

Firstly, it’s kinda long? It seems well-paced in terms of plot progression, but by chapter 30 or so it started to feel like author is drop-feeding is with substance each chapter, while the rest is bland water. The substance is good and engaging, but I really wanted to load the novel into AI chatbot and ask to shorten it at least in half.

Secondly,... more>> while at the beginning the MC was very low-key, she started to be more like a celebrity very soon? While staying a boss? If I wanted to read about their novel about a celebrity, I’d pick a novel about a celebrity, not a novel about a CEO-system holder who becomes famous and adored on accident. It’s really infuriating — she becomes as popular, if not more, than her actual artists, while doing nothing for it? And praised mostly for her looks and mannerisms? Sad! I wanted a real “nurture talents while staying in the shade”-type story.

Thirdly, I’d have to agree with fellow reviewers — this novel is unrealistic. And while I can bear with regular lack of realism in regards to the system having access to loads of unreachable resources, like buildings and funds, as well as lack of realism with MC’s artists getting popular and going viral (after all, it’s a novel — novels are written about winners and lucky people). But there are other things.

MC is really too harsh on trainees — she’s every bit a villainous capitalist CEO that fans irl hate to the bones. She’s good to employees, but she has no qualms about mental health of minors, who are her trainees and idols. She wants her trainees to progress in mere weeks! That’s way too harsh.

Most of her “innovative” ideas are either already existing ones, or straight up magic. Like her photo cards and lighsticks — no matter what anyone thinks, those types of novelties won’t be praised far and wide like the best thing since sliced bread. It’s a fad at most, as well as tech she employs — it’s all the system’s magic, very unfair. I mean, it’s fine to use system’s magic tech herself — she’s the holder, she can, for example, use system’s super-predictions when choosing trainees, that’s fair. But using system’s super-tech in merch? A bit excessive, I think.

And, at the end of the day, it wasn’t that exciting for me, so I quit on chapter 107. Though, if people don’t mind the aspects I’ve listed, it’s not the worst novel to spend your time on. <<less

Fully finished this novel, and I have to say its 3.5. I don't care about the realism or anything about that bc why would realism matter when a system exists?

This is just purely idol raising business. The description about the background setting is useless bc there's nothing about that, and why would the info about ML being the system be useful? I thought there was romance bc they mentioned the system being ML, but nope. Even chapter 187 ended off pretty abrupt that made me confused.

The MC is pretty harsh... more>> in the beginning, causing probably trauma to those who got her teaching in the beginning, I get that. But sometimes, kids gotta be kids, especially since there were 13 year olds during the trials. But how she treated the girl idols and boy idols made me raise an eyebrow at the favouritism. She said they were already good, but was it like her standards back then? She nitpicked the boys for every single detail, but the girls she doesn't? Is it bc she wasn't in charge of them or something? I don't like the fact that while she treated her employees good, she idols are also employees. The boys are throughly overworked, and there were a lot of instances where it was outright said that they practiced until 3am and had to wake up for school the next day at 7am for school or something. Did the author forget that they're kids that need sleep? Wtf do you mean that bc they're kids they could sleep less.

The novel got kinda boring and long-winded, but don't worry. Around the company bonding filming, it picked off right there. If you don't like MTL (names being different abruptly, pronouns, etc) or some random people popping up without any explanation, then this isn't for you. <<less
