second chance at life (modern setting only)

mc was a paparazzi that body swapped into a failed idol trainee and has to debut or else he dies... but he becomes way more popular than he originally planned?

mc is pretty funny unintentionally and he's smart + plot doesn't feel overdone or super cliche

10/10 !! I've reread this twice already

famous chef is betrayed and killed by his greedy family & wakes up as a failing idol. he must help his group become famous before time runs out or he'll lose his chance at revenge and die!

all the characters are endearing and it's pretty funny. light-hearted read

8.5/10

mc's idol group was destroyed because of shitty members, so when he dies he goes back in time to rebuild his group from the ground up and become famous!

solid read, nothing overly special but i enjoyed it

8/10

mc's career as an idol was ruined when he suffers horrific burns to his face and body. after being given a second chance, he decides to give it his all and become a famous idol to fulfill his dreams

8/10

mc is an idol that sucks at dancing so he can't debut. but he suddenly has the ability to copy dance moves well and tries to become a famous idol this time

fun dynamics, solid read + characters designs are cute

8.5/10

** on hiatus since October 2023 -- 22 ch out

I love this concept, mc has lived 100's of lives but his 1st life wish was to be a superstar, so in this life he's fulfilling it using abilities from his past lives

mc is a baby/child but he doesn't just act like a grown man, he's still mature but child-like at the same time

9/10 I have high hopes for this one if it comes off hiatus

mc was a superstar actor but regrets a lot and is given a second chance when he's transported back into his middle school self.

mc is really likable and the plot is great, doesn't feel rushed at all + the mom & son relationship is precious

no real romance yet but there seems to be some possible fl's (neither are annoying)

11/10 !!

mc given a second chance at life from an old spirit (kinda like a fairy godmother?) and is on the road to becoming a great actor

great read if you're looking for something fun. multiple potential fl's that aren't too bad, the most likely fl is a bit annoying bc she's a tsundere but I don't hate her

8/10

mc sucked at acting so he wrote screenplays instead, but he dies and goes back in time to become a great actor this time around

i'm gonna be honest I don't remember anything from this but I gave it 5 stars so it must be good.

-/10 (i'll reread it eventually and give it an actual rating lol)

failed idol with a broken personal life dies and regresses to when he was a child and his life was perfect and decides he's going to act

super cute light-hearted read! mc is adorable and the dynamics he has with all the other characters is endearing. not super unique but the plot is fun and easy to follow

8/10
