Fanservice Paradox [營業悖論] by Zhichu

3.0

I loved the relationships between the entire band and that the author really didn't skimp on showing them interact with each other and be a full group.   I also really enjoyed Pei Tingsong, who had all the hallmarks of the stereotypical rich, arrogant gong, but was tempered and made far more real by those moments where you could tell that yep, this was definitely a 20 year old boy trying to look cool and is actually a bit of a derp.  It's still very a much a MC and ML are so perfect and so beautiful and so good at (just about) everything they do but it has a bit more depth than some of these novels do and a very strong message about pursuing dreams. 

There were a lot of funny and entrainment moments in the novel and I got pretty choked up a couple of times and yet, for some reason that I genuinely can't put my finger on and articulate, around chapters 69-100 or so, it was a slog.  I was literally forcing myself to pick this book back up.  So as much as I overall liked it and what it was doing, it's down two stars for being a struggle to read for a not inconsiderable portion of the book.
