When i read the synopsis of this book i was hyped. This felt just like those chinese novels, where the main character tries to take over Hollywood. I was hyped, i went straight into read the chapters. The effort you put into the research of these Hollywood or directing related stuff. I have only seen author UniVerseLessOne do it, and his Hollywood novel is some of the best i have seen. You need to show more human interaction Ramen-sama, i know introducing the system and all its capabilities is important and cant be rushed or it will create plot holes and inconsistencies. So i will be patient, normally i never write a review for a novel this early i have read only 5 chapters of your work. But i have read the promise you made to the readers in your author's note. Please see this work to the end. I will be sending my power stones to show my love for this work. And if possible create a pat E. Ron where i can read advanced chapters because i need more. Thanks writing this amazing working

A story where the system will not spoon feed the MC and pave him an easy road to success. The hero of our story has to work hard, think and plan properly and struggle to achieve his dreams and success... Loved the system and how it's to be used as a guiding tool by the MC. The grammar is spot on except for a few minute things. All in all this story is going to be epic...

great novel that obviously has a lot of effort put into it. if you like the tags you’ll like this novel. only downside are the super inconsistent updates, i think the author keeps starting up new stories on their patreon/kofi and this one is getting sidelined 🥲

It's got a lot of information dumping but all of that information or filler is essential to create that immersive feeling, in real books their is a lot of the same kind of massive information dump and long introductions and slow writing, it's the same here, his just doing good quality writing and making sure theirs no real plot holes and keeping good quality rather than making it a book where {System gives host mission} {Reward: 100% shares of marvel} would you rather that than this epic character building and immersive story telling?

Let me preface this by saying I originally really enjoyed the novel, even becoming an early Patron, however I've been disappointed with the recent chapters. The initial 85 chapters were a solid 5/5 for me, but the last 25 have dropped to a 2/5. The narrative has become cluttered with feature creep, straying from "show, don't tell" to just "tell". --- Pacing was slow, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, however recently there's been a loss of focus on "Hollywood", becoming bogged down with so many tangents with the retelling of comics, manga, recipes, and the slightly cringey events like charity events and concerts where the protagonist's perfection has become overly exaggerated with his Gary-Stu-ness kicked up into overdrive. Although slightly disappointing, this wasn't too big of a deal, because I was hoping to see that same level of detail when it finally came to the second movie arc, which I was eager to see. --- However this is where the pacing abruptly sped up. Unlike the first movie arc, this time all the vital intricate details were skipped like casting, scouting locations, production, etc. Large time skips were employed, using recaps instead of showing the events. When the movie is ultimately described, it's a mess with unclear descriptions, confusing plots, characters/actors who abruptly appear without any word about them previously. I'm sorry to say it's quite disappointing that a novel about Hollywood movies has evolved into something where the actual movies are seemingly an after thought. --- Maybe it's just me, but I'd far prefer more interactions between the protagonist and the other characters. More detail about the movies and their development - casting, planning, filming, etc. More interactions with the women in his life (the Japanese LI has been completely side-lined). More challenges. Reducing the emphasis on needless events, concerts, retelling of manga/comics, and fewer diversions would help recapture the essence of what I originally enjoyed and got me invested initially - Hollywood and the harem.

I have read 112 chapters of this book and they are good. Starting might be rough for some of the readers as it is information heavy but author did a good job while writing those chapters. Nearly all characters have their development and nobody feels like a showpiece. Everyone have their job and pov. So if you are looking for something good then read it without hesitation.

This story is in my top 5 favorites to read on webnovel. I have read it from chapter 1 to 100+, 3 times and it is very good overall except for the first few chapters. I would definitely recommend others to read to at least chapter 10 before deciding if they like it or not.

the author wanted to do too much, it's indigestible, the system, the AI, the number of women under his command, the crazy amount of time spent on the system and the repetition on his skills, everything that's wrong in this kind of story is there. The combination makes it all like a Big Mac xxl version that we will never finish because we get tired of it very quickly to finish the fries if you understand me. and the use of serial character names no longer disgusts the reader

the writing quality it pretty good. the harem and smut just degrade the story. always does. the "love" aspect of the relationships are always forced and make the mc seem like some sort of god to the harem members (Evelyn was the most obnoxious example in this novel). its weird and creepy, especially with how you have written smut, making it obvious the motivation is routed outside of romance. far too many explanation chapters, almost made me quit at the start with the back to back explanations on the system that could have been explained in a sentence or two, this problem is exemplified when you give the system conscious thought that forces weird and annoying dialogue that ads nothing to the story. even outside the annoying system and creepy smut, you have even more filler chapters that add nothing. so its like 40% filler boredom. and then this is just IMO, but the movies/books/etc that you chose werent the best, even the primary story chapters were mostly boring. idk, this seems to me to be one of the worse "hollywood/director/actor" stories.

Amazing story, only question is about 90s celebrities like Alicia Silverstone, Brittany Murphy, and maybe Drew Berrymore? Will they be in story or harem? What about wrestling, will it be involved in story with Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Shawn Micheals, Roddy Piper, or any female wrestlers Sunny, Trish Stratus, Lita Etc. becoming Movie Stars?

Story is good and all, but I’m writing to tell author sth: chronological order for movies does NOT mean better. The sense of mystery is absolutely important, so when doing the John Wick movies please start with the OGs first. Like in Star Wars, the prequels were done after the OGs, but had they been done earlier so much would’ve been lost during the OGs, especially an iconic moment like “i am your father”, similarly to how in the first John Wick everyone gradually went from confused on “why are they worried about this old guy” to “HOLY FÛÇKÎÑG HÈŁŁ THIS GUY IS A BEAST”. After the main ogs are done, THEN make the prequels showing his early life, and do his wife exactly like you were planning, her visits to the hospital during the second and third movie would be pretty dope, giving audiences that sense of knowing what will happen but being helpless to only watch it
