I was not rooting for the mc at all. She never even wanted to be an idol and just so happens to meet someone in that works in the industry. She isn't charismatic, can't dance and has a mediocre visual. The only things she can do is sing. And when gets chosen to become a trainee (Taking away this chance from more talented girls.) all she does is complain, complain, complain. Plus she creates unnecessary conflict. 

And the romance subplot was just not it.

The cover art is pretty though.

TLDR: Your average pick me girl randomly decides to become an idol.

I should have dnf'ed this book.
 It's just a basic "enemies" to lovers romantasy book. I did not care about any of the characters, the plottwist was predictable, the cliffhanger was stupid.
I have never been this bored

The beginning of the story is fun, but it starts to become very boring when they're on the run.
