9/16

Description

Every child has dreamed of all the wealth, attention, and glamor that comes with the life of a celebrity. At least once.

But many end up abandoning that dream. They see the harsh realities that come with it, and the truth scares them away.

Not for Kiara. Childish dreams were never far away for her.

At age 8, she'd already won her first ballet competition without any training. At age 9, she'd landed her first acting and singing role as the lead character in a local school musical. At age 15, she'd caught the eye of Kim Young-Min, CEO of SM Entertainment who dubbed her audition "the best of the best", superior to anyone who'd entered the company before. Determined to lead the life she's always dreamed of, Kiara enters SM Entertainment as the new "it" girl everyone wants to be. But she wasn't ready for it. No one could be.

When Kiara starts her first day as a rookie, life quickly turns downhill, and she learns that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Old problems arise from the past. They will continue to destroy her conscience, tearing and eating away at anything that is still left of her.

And she won't survive. At least, not alone.

Chapter 39: At first, I'm actually dissapointed that there's not much romance going on in this story. But then, I started to think that it's not going to be good if this story is packed with romance. You focused more on telling the struggle of overcoming mental illness so it's not fitting for romance suddenly barge into this story.
I like it when you reveal that Johnny isn't real. It's been a long time since a story ever made me baffled. I seriously didn't see it's coming. Usually, I can assume that there will be a plot twist but you manage to trick me into believing in Johnny existence. Kudos for that.
What I like about this story is about how you keeping it real. You never pushed romance between Taeyong and Kiara. I thought that Kiara is delusional when she said that she can see insincerity through Taeyong. What Taeyong did was toxic but it is real because chances it does happened in real world. Some people does betray and befriend others in order to gain benefit. Good job on that.
Overall, I think your story is good. I'm just not into how you write the timeline because it
keeps jumping from past story to present. It's not bad to do so but I try to write on the top of the chapter only so that readers can differentiate which is past and present. Or you can add date of the incident so we knows is it the past or present. One character that didn't appeal to me is Julie. Sure she impacted Kiara in a good way (though Julie also has her own struggle) but I don't think that she plays a big role. Her existence makes me wonder that wether she'll appear in the story or not but it turns out it's the later. You can include her in the story but don't dedicate a whole chapter for her because it's not really important.
By the way, I'm not wanting to be harsh. It's just my opinion on the story. I still like it though. I'll check your other stories as well.
