    Not much to say since I’m at the beginning but kind of disappointed it’s based on real life earth instead of a similar-ish one kinda feels weird reading real life people written by others

    The MTL and download are not working properly, when downloading I would get an HTML while not being translated and the read page is not loading.

      If it's really that good, is it worth it reading MTL since your brain usually become numb after reading MTL because of its quality?

    [Review: Complete — (MTL)]

    [Genre:] [Modern Slice-of-Life] / [Entertainment]
    [Major Tags:] [Acting] / [Hollywood Celebrities] / [Movie Industry] / [Emotion Expression]
    [Minor Tags:] [Reincarnation] / [Career Management] / [Music] / [Superstarhood]

    [Summary:]

    A man who spent his whole life deprived of all possibilities, had decided to live his reincarnation without regret, by pursuing his past-dream, and become an actor.

    [Setting:]

    The story focus around the protagonist's Personal Career, and the locations vary throughout the modern world.

    [Plot:]

    The plot is mostly a Progressive Sequence, and starts from the protagonist's humble beginning, forward to its greatness.

    [Characterization:]

    The characters are well-portrayed. Simplistic and remarkable for those in the background; lively for those in-front.

    [Writing Style:]

    The author is very concise in his writings, and the conversations are very witty, funny, and tasteful. One particularly note-worthy thing to mention —especially considering that this is a chinese light-novel— is that the author, quite alike most international authors, focus a lot on the expression of the characters' emotions. Unlike many light-novels, in this one—feelings actually matter!

    [Tone:]

    The tone is generally neutral, but the funny sarcasm and some emotional moments make the story both realistic and interesting.

    [Mood:]

    This mood in general is rather positive, and those dark moments are often merely momentous sceneries.

    [Strongest Points:]

    - Unique MC. The Main Protagonist is a solid-portrayed character. Witty, sarcastic and funny; he is very enjoyable. This MC, makes the words Arrogant and Narcissic both tasteful and loveable.

    - Witty Conversations. This is one of those few light-novels, where the conversations are gems among germs.

    - Celebrity Exposition. This novel is unique in the aspect where it shows Famous Celebrities in contextual circumstances that are quite plausible.

    - Made-in-China. Well, this is only my Second Time find/reading a Chinese Novel which depict a rather funny, interesting, and realistic portrayal of the current World. (Not China Focused) My First, being Lord of the Mysteries.

    - Realistic Depiction. This novel depicts a very realistic portrait of the Movie Industry and the Acting Path. A very refreshing breath of truths and humors, quite unexpected coming from a C-LN. (Most C-LNs would have too thick of a plot-armor, an unrealistically handsome and rich sugar daddy behind the scenes, and childish face-slapping which is tastefully absent in this one, for example.)

    - Emotional Expression. This novel has good scenes where the Acting of the characters is combined with the expression of their emotions and feelings. It adds more depth to the story, and make unlovely personages likeable.

    [Weak Points:

    - Slow Translation. I had to read this on MTL due to my desire to read more.

    - Fragmented Integrity. At the beginning, it is focused on the career path of an actor, but then, it will evolve into something more power-hungry, political story. Not that both, separately, are bad... it's just it remove the initial flavor and change my reading-expectation.

    [Conclusion:]

    - Recommended for Everyone. For fans of celebrities, authors, or those with Acting and Filming Interests, this is a Must-Not-Miss.

    - A wonderful story which is Acting Focused. From witty sarcasms to refined characters; everything I've seen up-until-now, tells me that this is one of those few novels that One Miss At Their Own Loss.

    [Verdict:]

    An interesting read. This is probably the most comprehensive light-novel about Acting that one can find. Or, the path to Superstarhood. Though, it must be emphasized that while the novel is very good from the very beginning, for a long while, it eventually transform into something more political, which is a shame.

    PS: This is an Incomplete and Ongoing Review. It is mostly my First Impression after 1 000 of chapters.

        You can find the first 450 chapter on webnovel
        After that I personally tried Mtlnovel but the quality wasn't good enough...
        So instead I used DeepL to translate the raws which is much better and easier to read

        To be honest, my personal opinion is that Translation is a laborious task whose values are often overlooked.
        Reading it on mtl for the sake of knowing the story is... never fully worth it. Why?
        Because I've seen few —yet still some— works that were masterfully translated, thus, giving the novel moods and what-nots that the original chinese novels didn't have. (Ex: Lord of Mysteries, Night Fall, etc.)
        The opposite is true, too.
        There are way more novels that were trashed-bashed by poor translators doing poor translations.
        I don't even know how it works... but reading those make me feel like that what those mass-produced translations were done like: 1) copy-paste the original chinese novel on some online translation tools; 2) quick-read the results and fix here-and-there 3) the whole process took 5 min, and there you go, a chapter is done by the translator.

        Summary: truly sucks. Truly short-sighted. Why? Because their 5 minutes per chapter might have been worth THEIR time, but it wasn't worth the time of Readers X by the numbers of Readers X by the eternity that this work would stay on the web.
        Their works are basically Immortalized on the web, and people would only know that those works sucks, and it wouldn't be helpful to the Original authors in any way. Truly producing stuffs for the sake of producing it. The saddest part is: some truly great works would never get re-translated since it would've been judged as Done already.

        So, my verdict to your question is: it depends on what kind of readers you are. If you're like me, someone who love to fish unfishy Masterworks not created by the Larkinsons, then Yes, you should wait for better translations. But... if you're more like bored kids who can't even read one page of their homeworks, and keep zapping the tv for the sake of momentous distractions, then maybe mtl would do just fine.
