yeah and the plot feels like a Mary Sue lololol so many idol stories like this, maybe that's why debut or die is my favorite
Yea this does feel very Mary/Gary Sue-like but not in the way I thought??? MC doesn't rlly use his apparent power a lot, but rather it just looks like everything is going his way *way* too easily...like collabing with an apparently popular sunbae while you're still un-debuted is crazy??? And now we get the lore drop of his dad being an ex-famous person? It felt too sudden and amateur-ly included.
fair pointt and suddenly he knows how to compose a song in one day is actually crazy!! they didn't even explain about the whole superpower thingy works
Probably it was the premise of what the detective told him on the 1st chapter.
exactly! if it had even been in the top 100s on the chart, it would have been a bit more believable. but a group that hasn't debuted yet, making it to no.1 - even with it being a collab with an established artist - on the charts feels too much of a stretch to me.
not to mention, being able to learn anything by watching it once is too OP, how are we going to have a meaningful conflict in the story if we know our all powerful and mighty mc can plow through them with his OP cheat ability?
Is anyone else confused with their popularity? They still haven't debuted yet, right? Even suspending my belief by a lot, it's crazy to think they're already doing so well before their debut? Cause the collab release of "Something" doesn't count as a debut, right? I've never seen an idol story go this way, so I'm sorry if this is actually a common-ish thing irl!!!
And in a more general way, the pacing is kinda weird? There's big gaps in time and the characters just seem too comfortable around the MC already? I'm just nitpicky about how characters develop though, so maybe this is just a me problem.
