Any novel about a singer/actor/idol that have NO romance in it.? I want the story to fully focus on the showbiz part.. romance tends to make unnecesary distraction and can even stall the story for indefinitely. For example : I Reincarnated and Tried to Become a Genius Child Actor. I Want to Quit. Thnx
As the translator of that series, I was going to recommend that, but it seems the OP beat me to it...
God's Song (Haven't tried it yet) [X]Top Management (He's a manager for a group though, sorry just noticed that someone added a romance tag) (Couldn't find anymore novels, sorry)
Ah, sorry. Didn't see the part 'novel'. Penguin Revolution is a manga by Tsukuba Sakura. It's about showbiz and there's no romance in there.
Become a Star. Entertainment Life With A Camera . Debut or Die .Superstar From Age 0 . those are the only ones i remember because i actually remembered that i have a reading list .
After Transmigrated Into an Idol Talent Show — I finished this and no, there isn’t any romance it’s more like bromance. (dw it’s not bl the friendships are just pretty intense with mc) (Chinese Novel) The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor — isn’t fully translated, has 24 chapters on wuxiaworld. No romance. (Korean Novel)
I know some more, now.. Save a Failed Idol's life — (손맛으로 구제하는 망돌 인생) It is also adapted as a manhwa, has about 30+ chapters but I don't think it's been updated in a while on ☠️ sites. The art style is definitely beautiful and unique, and the story is well written. I'd give it a try. I read raws as well so the beginning is definitely slow, though. Holy Idol — Do NOT watch the kdrama adaptation, I repeat do NOT watch it!!! It is not faithful to the actual story and the FMC doesn't even exist in the manhwa!!! I love the manhwa though and the concept is well done and pretty unique. It doesn't have romance. (The kdrama does but we don't talk about it. It's a shitty adaptation.) there are more, but i don't seem to be able to remember them right now. HONORARY MENTION! A Failed Idol's Rise to Bottom/손맛으로 구제하는 망돌 인생 It's BL and has a lot of focus on the emotional relationships between MC and his fellow members, but the idol part is also enjoyable as well and doesn't seem like a side piece in the story. There are multiple ML's and there isn't a 1v1 ending. It has a lot of teasing and physical touch, but thankfully they're all adults 20+ yrs old. This isn't an idol novel without romance with I actually adore novels like that but I do slightly enjoy this one. (I love novels without romance.)
