Synopsis

Yoon Eden lived the life of a B-tier idol who managed to get by. He is an idol of 7 years with fixed dead-fish eyes and the artist disease.
[The 30,000th fans are disappointed in you!]
[You have met the requirements.]
[Project Regaining Your Original Mindset for the Idol that Lost His Original Mindset has started.]
A day before he was withdrawing from the team, he was sent to the beginning of his debut, when he was a flop, to remember his original mindset.
[※When your original mindset becomes 0, you will restart!]
[※To complete the project, you must meet the requirements!]
[You, who have disappointed 30,000 fans, must make 30 million fans happy! (0/30,000,000)]
On top of that, to stop regressing infinitely, there’s an atrocious requirement of becoming an A-tier idol!
“f*ck, my Cheongdam-dong house! My hundred millions of royalties! My savings account! My Ferrari!”
[Profanity has been detected.]
[Degree of Original Mindset -2]
From his original mindset that is cut down just by breathing, and the pouring fan love quests, to the penalty for incompletion!
A time of clearing up karma starting at the semi-basement dormitory for the idol who lost his original mindset and was hit properly by karma!

📂 System Interface: Regressor Profile

A Blank Slate Regression for the Idol That Lost His Original Mindset is a unique spin on the idol-regression subgenre. Instead of a hard-working hero returning to fix a tragic past, the story features Yoon Eden, a cynical, B-tier idol of 7 years who has developed “Artist Disease”—a state of being jaded, arrogant, and disconnected from his fans.

When the system detects that his “Original Mindset” (passion and sincerity) has vanished, it triggers a mandatory regression to his debut days. To prevent an infinite loop of regression, Eden must transform from a “Jerkass 9000” into a top-tier A-list idol while managing a massive karma-cleansing mission: making 30 million fans happy.

Component	Classification	Narrative Impact
The “Original Mindset” Meter	Behavior Constraint	Points are docked for swearing, rudeness, or lack of “idol-like” behavior. 0 points = Immediate Restart.
The Artist Disease	Character Flaw	MC is a brilliant composer/rapper but a social disaster with low EQ and a “dead-fish” gaze.
Karma Cleansing	Progression Goal	Forces the MC to repair broken relationships with groupmates and fans he previously ignored.
System Interaction	Discipline Focus	Unlike most systems that grant stats, this one “trains” the MC’s personality through penalties (like coughing blood).

📂 System Interface: The Status Window (Yoon Eden)

Attribute	Classification	Description
Music Stat	Maxed Out	A true genius in rapping, producing, and survival. He does not need “system cheats” to be talented.
Social Stat	Critical Failure	Blunt, rude, and oblivious. He often “outsources” his thinking to smarter members when not doing music.
Mentality	Vibranium	Shrugs off malice and stress easily; his internal monologue turns potentially tragic drama into comedy.
Health	Hypochondriac	Unlike other “cool” MCs, if the system makes him cough blood as a penalty, he panics and tries to call 911.

Editor's Note

💡 The Tone Flip. This novel is described as a Comedy from Eden's perspective but a Drama from everyone else's. While he thinks he's just surviving a nuisance system, his groupmates see a once-cold genius slowly becoming a "warm" (if eccentric) leader.

No "Stat Window" Cheats. Eden is actually talented. He doesn't buy "Singing Level 10" from a shop; he’s a professional who lost his way and is now regaining his edge.

The "Unreliable Narrator." Because Eden has low EQ, he often misinterprets his members' actions as "childish" or "petty," while the reader can see the deeper emotional weight.

The Pacing. It is a "Snail's Pace" slice-of-life/sitcom. It focuses more on the daily chemistry of the group (REVE) and music production than on rapid industry conquest.

"My Ferrari! My royalties! My house in Cheongdam-dong! System, give them back!"

Experience Curve

Ch. 1–50 (The Rough Start): ⭐⭐⭐ – The Hurdle. Many readers find Eden and his group mates annoying initially. This is intentional to set up the growth arc.

Ch. 51–200 (The Chemistry): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Hook. The comedy kicks in as the group starts vibing and Eden realizes the system isn't going away.

Ch. 201–500 (The Deepening): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Golden Era. Features the "Solo Centric/Rapping Show" arc where Eden’s talent truly shines and his growth becomes tangible.

Ch. 501+ (The Mystery): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Truth. Elements of the system's origin and Eden's past (future) memories start to form a larger, more dramatic plot.

WebNovelDB Review

8 /10

A refreshing "healing comedy" that succeeds because the MC is authentically flawed and genuinely talented.

Character Growth: 10/10. One of the best "jerk to functional human" arcs in the genre.

Comedy: 9/10. Eden’s reactions to system punishments and his bluntness are consistently hilarious.

Music Detail: 8/10. Strong focus on the hip-hop scene and the struggles of a producer/idol.

Pacing: 5/10. Very slow. Expect many chapters of just "chilling" or practicing.

The Good: The MC doesn't rely on the system to be good at his job; he only uses it to be a better person. The chemistry between REVE members feels like a real, messy family.

The Bad: The pacing can be frustrating for those wanting a fast rise to the top. Some find the "System as a toxic manager" premise uncomfortable.

The Archetype: The "Cactus Idol." Prickly on the outside, but holding a lot of "jelly" (sincerity) on the inside that he’s forgotten how to show.

Not For You If: You want fast-paced action, a romance-heavy plot, or a story where the MC is instantly likeable.

The Group: REVE. Initially dysfunctional and uncoordinated, the story tracks their transformation into a "found family" that shares a single brain cell.

Pacing Note: This is a very slow slice-of-life/sitcom. It focuses on the daily chemistry of the group and music production. If you need rapid industry conquest, you'll struggle. If you enjoy watching a 'found family' grow, you're home.
