    At first I was just gonna check it out, until I got addicted to this particular genre and now I can't return to reading Eastern novels. I just feel so detached reading names with a bunch of Qs, Zs and Xs on it.

    Any tips? Or you could just recommend me another good HW novel. Thanks.

    I'm not sure what's a hollywood novel?
    Can you perhaps give a definition or an example?

    Basically a novel that revolves around Hollywood. Making films or acting sometimes both.

    While I do read paperbacks and western novels, I don't think I encountered one related to Hollywood yet.

    *thinks* It would be a little difficult to avoid any chinese novels that don't have those consonants in names.
    ... You might have to get used to it again. And ive read showbiz novels, but I don't remember any that took place in hollywood.

    It's pretty interesting, for example the MC who died just as he was appointed to direct a movie, then he wakes up in the 80s in USA.

    It's not that easy. Even with the same plot around entertainment and showbiz. The names puts me off.

    Don't know if this is your cup of tea, but this one has very normal, odd in their language but normal for us, names: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/little-tyrant-doesnt-want-to-meet-with-a-bad-end/

    I'm not sure what a hollywood novel is but there are a lot of Chinese Entertainment Industry novels

    They are structured differently based on the genre but if you pick the right ones can be good

    I've read those, iirc I dropped KTA once I found out it's BL. The 2nd one also recrived 1 star from me because the author used the MC's Chinese name throughout the novel. It just grind my gears.

    I've read that, once I dropped it near ch 400 I mever picked it up again. It just became too annoying. Also, it's not similar to a HW novel.

    What I am suffering from is the exact opposite of you.

    I feel reluctant nowadays to read western novels, i.e., novels with western philosophy and life and stuff like that. Even the likes of Harry Potter just because of its western concept has made me lose interest.

    I am happily indulging myself in Novel Updates and the like.

    Perhaps you could go through those sites which provide western novels ( I have no idea though, I usually buy paperback0
