Thank you everyone, and thank you, music and dreams.

When rereading the novel, I felt really good and could pick up on parts that a year or so ago I couldn't, showbiz is either a round 0 or 100 for me and Fanservice Paradox is, without a doubt, a perfect score! I absolutely LOVE how TINGJUE develops, Zhichu never fails to write beautiful love stories and they have a special place in my heart for being the first novel of her that I’ve read. PTS is such a stupid lover boy and his care for FJX had me melting, I missed them a lot. At first reading, my English was still a bit sluggish so I couldn’t completely understand some parts and got distracted easily, that made the experience a bit bad.. now its totally different and I’m really happy about it, couldn't have enjoyed it more. The friendship between Kaleido members is one of my favorite parts, their interactions are really funny and it’s cool to read them perform and arise as a group.
