Hi! LMAOOOO Here's a google drive with the txt file of the novel https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VtTZ5jj4YUIqPL1CercYu0zJhQBOPxiC/view?usp=drivesdk
Thank you for sharing it! And the spoilers! I’m so so sad that ppl insulted him about his parents >.<
Since the novel is still ongoing I only got the txt to chapter 256. Once it's completed I'll get the complete novel txt tho.
does anyone know an open chat / server where people are actively discussing about this novel (the upcoming merch and fanarts too)? (up to date preferred, but any is fine lol) thanks!
Thank you so much for this file! I used google translate and to read the story. Here are some story spoiler summaries. Warning: I used google translate, so it might not be the most accurate. Moondae Park (MC) = MC Seon Ah-hyn = SA Kim Rae-bin = KB Sejin Keun (big) = SK Sejin Lee (little) = SL Chungoo Ryuu = CR Eugene/Yujin Cha = EC Choi Wongil = CW Changryeo = CG Spoiler: Third Song - The “Rabbit” team (MC, SA, KB, SK, Gold 1) discuss their song selection. MC collaborated everyone’s recommendations together. They decided on the oriental, sexy concept with a moon rabbit theme. - The “Rabbit” team’s democratic and easy song selection served as a huge contrast to another team (CW + CR + EC + SL), where there were constantly disagreements. - During this period, EC went to MC to get some comfort. MC just served as a listener and candy dispenser. - Someone posted a picture of SK with a cigarette. SK was going to quit, but MC stopped him by declaring the picture was photoshopped. They ended up taking long hours finding the original picture which the photoshopped image used. It was a picture of SK in a group student council picture. - (CW + CR + EC + SL) team won the round. Their song arrangement and other aspects were lower in compared to the “Rabbit”/MC’s team, but EC took the stage and blew it away - Gold 1 gets eliminated. Spoiler: Events happening between and during the third + final song. - MC + KB + KB + EU go take pictures of their billboards in animal costumes (SA didn’t go because he went on a family trip) - An event on <Relisting!> occurred. Essentially, contestants have the option to change company. However, if they choose to sign with the company they will leave the show. In addition, they also had to fill out surveys to match the company personnel??? Anyways MC’s answers were exactly like how CG, the leader of the famous group TVIC, filled out. MC met CG after filling out the survey and offered to sign MC to the company he was in. MC declined saying he’ll try his luck debuting on the show. CW signed to another company because he knew his bad rep will get him eliminated and he probably won’t be debuting on the program anyways. He joined Gold 1’s company. Spoiler: Final Song - The theme of the fourth song was a free for all. Members could choose who they wanted to be with. They were given the sound track, but they need to do everything else on their own. - MC + SA + KB + SK + SL + Gold 2 formed a team. MC was selected to be the leader for his calm disposition. - They didn’t want EC because they were afraid he’ll take all the spotlight in his team like in the third song. - Someone accuses MC dropped out of school because he stole a girl’s sanitary pads. MC freaks out and tells his team that he doesn’t know if he did it or not because he says that he lost his memories after a suicide attempt. The team gets MC to calm down and sleep first. Next day someone posted that MC wasn’t the culprit and he dropped out for other reasons and that MC was good person. Apparently, he lost contact with him after his phone got cancelled. - The people who had previously broken into MC’s studio said that MC was an orphan. They apparently pieced together the paper MC had teared apart in the trash can. (Wow stalkers and crazy fans are scary.) - Winner of the programs get to either choose a 7th person to debut with or cash prize. MC chose the 7th place person which happen to be SL. Debuting team (in rank): 1. MC (got a lot of sympathy votes) 2. EC 3. SA 4. KB 5. CK 6. SK 7. SL - System awarded MC the truth behind Moondae’s death as a reward for debuting. Back in high school MC had an account where he posted fan cams, but he deleted before entering the working work?. Moondae was one of the close followers. Moondae, jobless and orphaned, lost his final solace, decided to kill himself.
Reading the mtl rn and damn VTIC's leader is insane. I'm currently around 115ish chapter and just a question for the ones who've read ahead. Spoiler: kinda spoiler question What is his deal? He knew Moondae will die if he didn't fulfill the system's requirements and yet he's deliberately making things harder for him. Reading the mtl rn so might have missed some things, but he tried to give Moondae a "plagiarized" song (it's not really plagiarized since he went back in time) and posted a pic with the other bg called Onyx while the controversy for Rookie of the Year awards is going on so basically implying "onyx>testa" and encouraging VTIC fans to support Onyx. He's doing a lot of things to catch Moondae off guard, when Moondae literally did nothing and wants nothing to do with him (he even blocked him lmaoo) so I don't understand why he's trying to be a villain to him. Does he actually want Moondae to die? Or he's just being a sadistic psycho? You can't regress as much as he did without being unhinged so I guess that's a plausible reason. Might be just the MTL but I really can't understand this character and his goals.
Spoiler: This is probably a spoiler VTIC leader wants something or something Moondae can do for him. From what I understand from the mtl... Spoiler: This is definitely spoilers beyond chapter 115 Crazy VTIC leader wants Park Moondae to kill himself or get killed so they get regressed again 'cause this crazy guy is unable to do it anymore and he thought Moondae can return too. Remember when Moondae saw his status window, his ability to return back to the past was written as inactive. Its uncertain if Moondae can turn back to past again since his status window does not specify that he had this ability and also because this is not his real body (which VTIC leader didn't know)
oh that makes a lot of sense! Spoiler: kinda spoiler I thought it only said "inactive" cause he has to die to trigger it lol so he basically thinks that Moondae is the new reset button lmao Is there any reason why he wants to regress back? Cause with Moondae, the system is essentially blackmailing him but with Cheongryeo, so far there's no implication of the same system. So does he just regresses on his own cause he wants a perfect idol career run?? Or is there a deeper reason? Anyways thanks!!
Thank you for mentioning Cheongryeo's name. I forgot his name when I was writing my reply to you earlier, putting VTIC guy instead haha. Spoiler: Love spoilers :blobtongue: I think he is indeed obsessed of having his perfect idol career run. Cheongryeo's mentality did get distorted having the ability of returning back to the past. His situation kinda reminded me of a story I've read before, where this guy who lives with his 2 male friends accidentally walks on his two friends naked on bed together. He got the ability to turn back the time, did not walk in his friends, and pretended that never happened. The situation got bad since he will even turn back time just because of ketchup getting spilled. Honestly though I do still get confused by Cheongryeo and makes me wonder what is going on in his mind haha. By the way please correct me if I misunderstood something in the the story. I read the 257 chapters in google translate.
LOL I actually have to google his name cause mtl kept spelling it differently He's such an interesting character so I have to do him justice and learn his name properly And you and me both lmaoo, mtl isn't really doing the story justice so there might be some stuff lost in (bad) translation but I can't help I my curiosity lol
spoilers about the system, including other people than moondae and cheongryeo who got caught up in it (up until chap320) (might remember wrongly in some parts, feel free to correct me) Spoiler: the truth of the system system grants a dying person’s wish, but there is a rule for this: - dying person’s location must be near the previous person when they finished the last mission fun fact: the wording of the system is different in each person lol nothing specified yet about the dead person who had the system before cheongryeo when the system first appeared for cheongryeo, its because he wished to have a better career while jumping off a building. However, cheongryeo didn’t have the ability to check the system like moondae, so he probably often didn’t even know what happened wrongly and got sent back each year until he cleared all the missions. unfortunately in the middle of the way, he got addicted in returning back in time to make sure he finishes all his missions perfectly next, moondae (real name: gunwoo), who transmigrated into another person and returned back in time. this is kinda a long story, but to make it short, after visiting gunwoo who was in coma state because of attempted suicide, og moondae accidentally slipped on stairs and died while wishing for gunwoo’s happiness. og moondae used to be a fan of gunwoo’s idol fancams before gunwoo closed his channel saying that ‘he’s gonna focus in gaming’ (gunwoo was actually focusing on civil service exam). somehow this made og moondae integrate with the system and system granted og moondae’s wish, by judging that gunwoo had to become a successful idol to be happy, thus the missions of becoming an idol, winning awards, getting millions of audience. (funny situation i know) during this, system also made og moondae to transmigrate to gunwoo’s body and return back in time, og moondae had the missions to pass civil service exams. gunwoo (from current time) got to guide og moondae for a day every time og moondae finished a mission. gunwoo also bought winning lotto numbers for og moondae so that og moondae could fully focus on studying to not fail the missions. we don’t know yet if there are repercussions of gunwoo/og moondae failing a mission. the next person to get the system is kwon heeseung aka gold 2, who was in moondae’s team several times during IJC (Ch1-63), he fell off a bridge accidentally while wishing he should have become an idol instead of a model. he also couldnt check the system like cheongryeo. moondae told him his mission after checking his system. cheongryeo, moondae and heeseung are aware of each other being a returnee. heeseung also bought stocks right after he went back in time lol chronology of the story: -7 years: system appeared in cheongryeo 0 year: cheongryeo finished his final mission other parallel timeline: 0 year: gunwoo helped og moondae +4 years: gunwoo’s suicide attempt, og moondae died current timeline: 0 year: gunwoo woke up in moondae’s body (og moondae woke up in gunwoo’s body) +3-3.5 years: moondae finished his final mission, system appeared in heeseung and moondae created a new mission for himself and made the system to reward him the chance to talk with og moondae, which made him to be able to guide og moondae from year 0. (this kinda became a time paradox) Spoiler: moondae vs system in current chap og moondae said that he’s going to part with the system soon because he was supposed to be dead in year 4 in parallel timeline, moondae (gunwoo) is trying to stop that from happening as much as og moondae is wishing for gunwoo’s happiness, gunwoo also wants og moondae to be happy uwu i’m live tweeting the series almost every new chapter update on twitter, if you can find me, feel free to dm me more to discuss about the story there (or here, but probably slower response)
fuck theyre hot.. ooooohhhh... i was wondering what happened to the og owner... i didnt expect that would happened since most novels would just ignore about original. thank you for the spoiler..!
Spoiler: Question with Spoiler Which chapter was it that the information about ML’s parents was revealed?
it's chapter 56 ywy well, not exactly but in that chapter the controversy that leads to that begins i think
there is if you search extensively lol this series gets pirated a lot and they also update the file so frequently but you know, if you guys cant find the txt, you can just make a lot of kakaopage accounts and use the free chapter a day in each account to read the continuation legally lul
