Here to give my two cents about this story: First and foremost, I just want to say that I really do like this story. And that I'll still continue to read it after this review. Now that that's done, let's start with my thoughts about this story. Writing Quality: It's not perfect, but it's one of the better ones in this site. It's rare to find these kinds of books here, especially for an author that I presume English isn't their first language. Story Development: As much as I like this story however, the development is only exciting at the start. As the story progresses it slowly started to resemble The Author's other book that stars Will Evans, where the story is basically (Author introduces a scene outside of the Protagonist> It then progressively turns to ruin> Protagonist comes to save the day as well as chucking it to the backstage when their situation is over). Another point I'd like to make is that, the story is only great when the protagonist isn't a Gary Stue/Mary Sue. Which is why I like the start of the story where the protagonist ISN'T a Gary Stue/Mary Sue. Character Design: This is a category where I have a love-hate relationship with this story. The Author really does create interesting characters, just that they get wasted in light of the protagonist (Gary Stue/Mary Sue). For example, Michelle and Cameron. In the start of the story these two characters have really high potential in my opinion, and the Author could've really done something good with them. Especially with the parallel of how Michelle does better with other people because of her harmony, and how Cameron has high potential to be a solo star with Limit break like a typical anime protagonist. Now Michelle is off to who knows where and Cameron now overcame depression in the span of a few recording sessions and is currently lagging behind the protagonist. And will continue to do so, I predict with how the Author's stories usually go. One other point I'd like to make is The Author's writing to their female characters. Namely Rachel, sure the Author gave her a backstory and didn't make her a live interest, that's good that's great! And then ten chapters later she suddenly gets 'cocky' and the protagonist was suddenly "I'm just glad my music's doing good" and then Aiden's agent came and barges down the fucking door just to say Aiden's song beat hers in the music charts. It really did disappoint me how I thought the Author would've given her a redemption arc and made her relevant throughout the story, but no it's all about that face slapping amiright? Protagonist humiliates the bad person right in their faces! End of story :). Notable mentions of other female characters the Author wasted: Emily, Michelle, and Amy. All in all, all characters in this story are stepping stones for the Gary Stue/Mary Sue. Updating Stability: It's good, the Author works hard and updates are between every other day or every four days. World Background: Great, if only the Author used them a lot more than for just one small story arc.

Yeah, He wasn't a Mary Sue at the start that's what I keep saying, and what I hoped continued. There was absolutely no way Aiden could have gotten back his role in Black Saint's from the godson of some whositwhatsit, and suddenly he now has 'evidence' of the guy doing bad shit like he has some private intelligence organization named paparazzi. And yeah, Cameron came back. That's great, That's nice. But I would've liked it more if there were some characters who came back in the story in the background, that isn't directly related to Aiden's current situation. Like Michelle and her girl group or something. Or Aiden's colleague friends from Black Saints. I love you Author, I really do. As well as your books. Yes, I will continue reading. I just want you to understand that I'm critiquing because I just want the story to be better, and to give you my point of view as a reader.

DreamThree:I think you should read more. Aiden won't have lost the competition if he was a Mary Sue. Like Cameron, other characters can come back too.

I did realize that I have been somewhat condescending in my review and I am sorry. I just got a little too carried away because I truly feel like this would be an even greater book if the Author gained some insight from a readers standpoint on it's flaws.

I appreciate that and some of the things you pointed out are fine but i never intended any of my characters to just become a stepping stone. There are characters who won't return as they don't add Value but some will obviously and their life would be explained as to what they are doing in the meantime.
