If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love

I am disappointed that this novel may get lost in some of the insanity above (noble, I know you are pretty hands off, but maybe a little cleanup is in order). In short, this novel is basically another author taking a shot at Top Management, which is one of my 5 top Korean web novels ever (and which sadly will remain unfinished due to the author’s breakdown, which I strongly suspect had to do with how the adapted for TV show was a disaster). If this author can do even half as good a job, I would give this 5 stars out of 5.

I am currently mid-20s in, and its worth a read so far. MC basically starts out as a manager in the entertainment industry who is given the gift of the “system” and rewards. Fortunately or unfortunately, the system is a bit on the unethical / ruthless side in its missions, and the MC tries to be a good guy and do the right thing (naive), so he ignores all the unethical missions. Of course, he gets screwed, but he gets one last mission – hit the back of the head of another manager type guy who screwed him over (you need to read to see if it’s figurative or literal) and get a “do-over” pill. He gets the pill and starts again, avoids the management company he started with, and tries to build from the ground up but being a little more selfish in this go around – all the while seeing that the industry is just as shady as it was the first time around.

Only one heroine so far, and unfortunately, once any others do show up, that aspect may kill the story for me – i.e., the dreaded harem tag. It’s a way to completely ruin what could be a good novel (and Top Management managed to avoid it). Will update once I read all the available chapters.
