some actually good showbiz reads

5/5

recently came by this one, but it’s actually great. mc goes back in time after getting hit by a bus, and returns to a survival show he regrettably didn’t pass into debut before. the mc tackles the show, (no system) on his own merits. art is great to the point where i want to eat it. plot is promising. i recommend!

5/5
mc gets transported into a different “game” world, previously living as a deadbeat idol himself before the events occur. this does deal with a “system” but it genuinely works against the mc so much . the mc has a very likeable personality as well - not just because the system favours it, but simply bc they built his character super nicely. recommend! (someone pls update before i start tweaking)

5/5
this is so SO FUCKING FUNNY. the comedy in this is top tier - and i love the mc. bro was a priest in another world and switched bodies with a failing idol. i love this so much and regret binge reading it, wishing i could savour it more.

5/5
this is SOOOO good. the high ratings are there for a reason. mc had multiple past lives, accumulating a “life library.” in his first life. he wished to be a protagonist as an actor and ultimately sets out to become a superstar in life he is reborn into as “seo-jun.” i think this is one of the better manhwas that do a good job conveying child actors, specifically the jobs one can take. recommend!!

4.8/5
this is really good. mc goes back in time into his child self after a sudden death. he used to be a failing idol who then got into acting, his life turning for the better until he ultimately dies. recommend!

4/5
this eats so hard but there are limited chaps so be warned! mc is the sis of a famous idol hoping to be an idol as well. she gives up after years of comparison and rude remarks experienced as she grows up, but when she’s suddenly casted one day, her dreams are able to come true. i like this a lot and mc is just so sweet. i will protect her w my life!!
