    I am here to rant about Female MC and them being on Entertainment circle.

    I kinda—no, I'm hella tired reading romance novels that involves acting. Seriously, though is it the only job on their world? Can the world will not run if she didn't became an actress?

    I wanna see female MC who is a florist, pastry chef or a sous chef, college professor, a guqin player, or whatever job that not involving to acting. It's hella better if she is a WWE fighter.

    I wanna witness MC not entering the entertainment circle. I wanna see the sheer disgust and thought that it's a very low profession for her to have this job (yes, I'm looking at you ancient to modern plot).

    I wanna see the motto that stated 'IT MAY BE FOR YOU BUT NOT FOR ME.'

    I will be blunt as ever: I wanna read non-entertainment centric romance novel.

    I read some novels that it not focused on entertainment which truly heal my heart.

    Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

    Word. Entertainment novels have become extremely predictable now (for both ML and FL)

    What do you expect from CN novels..? :blobastonished:
    I mean, the majority here are either ML become the Boss, The Jerks, FL being all face slapping, weak angst relationship, etc. :blobjoy:
    Even BL’s and GL’s did not stray far from it. :blobconfused:

    It’s even hard to find something different because we seen the same troupes over and over again.. :blobsob:

    I believe the reason for why many female MCs get involved in the entertainment industry is so that public opinion could become a central plot point and create the illusion of the story being on a larger stage. What better way to validate someone than by having the public on their side? It’s to allow the ML to show off their power to influence the sheep-like masses and suppress the antagonists (by using the exact same shady methods as the antagonists). The larger the audience, the grander the scale the plot can pretend to be on.

    I mean... Isn't it so dreamy to become an actress though? Or an Idol or something like it?

    I can see it being an easy profession for Wish-fulfillment novels, it's just that dream that many people have dreamed of, yet never tried pursuing~

    Actually with all the shit they portray in the entertainment circle, it hardly remains dreamy even in the stories. I can easily see a chef that makes cute and tasty cakes being a lot more dreamy!!
