I’m Really a Superstar

One of my all-time favorite novels. A very unique setting that uses Xianxia genre's common themes like growing in 'strength' (cultivation), face-slapping moments, and awesome reaction chapters. This novel is particularly difficult to translate especially since the author delves into many different literature/cultural fields in different languages, and then translate them into a Chinese background. You can expect to find a Russian poem or an American song that the translator then translates back into English. Thank you CKTalon for introducing this novel to us, and thank you Legge for providing quality chapters at a good release rate. Welcome to our family!

At the start it was quite interesting but as the novel progressed the MC became racist,stupid, illogical and perverted.I have totally stopped reading it.If it gets better I'll try again.

Very interesting story with a repetive cycle of getting hired, doing well, pissing someone off and getting fired which gets boring to the core. Also a lot of offending are just senseless just for the face smacking at the end. If I have a talented employee I do not need to antagonize him for no reason.

The humor in this novel is great and I find the poems here quite interesting to say the least. However, I only managed to read up to 500 chapters since it has become so repetitive. Also the plagiarizing of the mc in this novel although still bearable for me, but I cannot stand his intense nationalism and racism. He make fun of other countries but say nothing to his own country and its people who as we all know the ones who are making things difficult for him.

It has racist content and and Chinese biased against Korean and Japanese which has shown multiple times that. I don't need to read this anymore it is not even that as all the content is off actual artist in Real world and not made by author for the characters and story it is a stolen work with racism involved and all spiced up to make a novel that is selling already famous people's work. Which is a given that will make this novel famous.

Good translation. That's about it. It was fun at the beginning, but after some chapter, we got the same pattern again and again. Plus the "strange" relation with women. Plus the racism (i stopped when the MC got a Korean singer beat up by a mob, principally because he's korean). My bad, it's not racism, as the MC tell us over and over again, it's nationalism xD The funny thing is, the MC keeps telling us about how Chinese are the best, but he is only doing plagiarism. The irony is delicious, but I think the author is too dumb to spot it.

Racist and repetitive novel. MC is a borderline rapist, and starting a couple hundred chapters in the author keeps inserting a racist and nationalistic China first everyplace else second ideology. Foreign or non-asian characters are only introduced as enemies and in extremely racist ways. Additionally the MC's "romances" with several of the heroines essentially amounts to repeated attempted rapes, groping women who are asleep, etc... Overall despite a pretty good start the author is scum and it leaks into this novel.

Warning! Think ten times before reading this, 'cause you'll die laughing if you do. The story is good. There are remarkable Chinese poems and stuff translated by an excellent translator. This is a must read novel and is in my favorite list

So this is a novel about a man, with multiple personality disorder, who was moved to a parallel universe where he, without an ounce of talent, with hard work climbs the ladder of fame. I don't think that I read more than 2 chapters in a row where I wasn't reminded by an old Top Gear episode Clarkson said the following: "It seems then that the expression copyright infringement does not translate terribly well into mandarin", and the irony of quoting someone else while talking about this book is not lost on me. The novel has terrible world building, as a ton of things are missing from literary arts, a lot of which was crucial for the civilization to develop as it did, but nothing is brought in to replace it. The character design lacks any dept creating a punch of two dimensional props. The exception being the main character who has so many contradictory character traits that I can only explain it via multiple personality disorder. Let me give you one example, he on multiple occasions commits, by law in most civilized countries, rape. By forcing physical contact with women where it is clearly not wanted. And then a chapter or two later he is super angry on a guy who dared to touch a woman without allowance from that woman. And is described as being mad on the guys conduct, as in not described in playing with the guy so he can beat him up. I grant I have not finished the novel, but there are so many other well written books out there so I don't see a point in reading this one just to see many of those good works being butchered by the author.

Two words to describe this novel, absolutely garbage. Where do I really begin, I can go on about the author using the same tropes literally every 50 chapters, "look this a totally amazing story/poem from my past life (people go wow)", random douchebag highly jealous villain with supposedly high knowledge about stories/poems "this is story/poem is bad (people go "villain knows everything, so this story/poem is bad"), MC goes, "I'll show you whose story/poem is bad", then a competition between the MC and the villain, where the MC wins after many tedious chapters. Now take this formula and repeat it for the entire novel, I'm not even kidding. The next part is how overly racist the MC is. That person is white/brown/black, so he's evil. The Chinese patriotism is so high that this novel might probably be included in mandatory reading in Chinese schools. Not just good nationalism, but the novel is also filled with disparaging comments about other countries directly or indirectly. Kudos to the translators for working so hard on translating this novel.

Such a disapointing Novel. The concept and the story is really awesome and i really liked it at first. However, around chapter 500 the racism, nationalism and the fact he keeps bullying women made it too hard for me and i dropped it. Retard MC, and racism i know it is something the author wants but damn, all the humor in the world would not make me bear it. I'm european and i still hate it how korean and japan are discribed. those who can, Enjoy
