When he defeats them, he leaves hospice care: A father’s love is like a mountain! Are your shoulders heavy?

When he is defeated, he leaves backhanded compliments: You boys play games very well~

Ling Meng is a high-ranked casual gamer playing “The Legend of the Galaxy”. Infamous for his poison tongue, he’s known in the forums as Lemon Dad and he carefully cultivates a following of black powder fans over time. The trajectory of his fate completely changes the day he plays a match against the popular god-tier live stream anchor, Mangosteen. A meme created out of his dying words makes him a countrywide laughingstock and he begins to stalk Mangosteen to determine his rival’s weaknesses…to beat him in a match for revenge!

They fight with each other, stream with each other, and even exchange a naked photo with each other.

This is the love story of a lemon and mangosteen.

This is so funny and cute!

MC has a poisonous tongue but he's also cute in an innocent tsundere way. And ML loves teasing MC online but he's diligently taking care of MC ^^ Their relationship is progressing in a really sweet way. It's refreshing and fun to read!

I also love how the author named everyone after fruits! Even their real names are homonyms heh

The gaming aspect isn't too hard to follow. The overall game structure is kind of like League of Legends (the ranking, streaming, etc aspects), but the gameplay... more>> itself is more tactics based where they have to build their resources and strategize their army to fight. <<less

God this novel is too shamless. What the hell the price is:

- In the end, the prizes for the competition were settled. The first prize was Ling Meng’s meal card, the second prize was Ling Meng’s naked photo, and the third prize, not to be looked down on, was a 100-point game card sponsored by his roommate. In addition, Ling Meng also opened the previously-purchased Durex box and divided it into 12 small packages as participation prizes.-

FOR THE UNIVERSITY GAME ONLINE CHALLENGE IN DORMITORY ?

Uke... are you not too cheap... more>> to sell your dignity? If the seme can't save you, you loss your face in your University. <<less

I'll be honest, I did not think I was going to be that interested in this novel at all, mostly because of the e-sports element. However, while this novel is technically all about e-sports, I did not get bored or taken out of the reading experience because of the author explaining how the game worked or what was going on. And this is saying a lot because I am not really interested in games/e-sports, except for rhythm games or watching vtuber game plays.

Summary of the novel:

Ling Meng is a... more>> college student and an avid player of "The Legend of the Galaxy", in the game he goes by "Lemon". He is infamous because of the foul things he says to the other player when he wins, like calling himself "daddy", because of this everyone in the community calls him "Lemon Daddy". In one match he gets matched up to play against Mangosteen, a popular and god-like player, and Ling Meng loses terribly. Instead of saying his usual foul words, he responds with "You boys play games very well", this phrase then turns into a massive meme overnight, and now no one takes him seriously. Because of his loss, Ling Meng becomes almost obsessed with Mangosteen's streams, then he meets Mangosteen in real life at his college.

The rest of the novel follows their love story and Ling Meng's streaming shenanigans. This novel also shows a colorful cast of characters with all their names relating to a fruit or vegetable.

Main character descriptions:

Ling Meng

  • the younger of the two
  • also shorter
  • is very good at running long distance
  • looks young for his age
  • positive demeanor
  • compared to lemons
Shan Zhu

  • the older of the two
  • very tall
  • has a very nice voice
  • nice hands
  • was a faceless streamer for the majority of the story
  • compared to mangoes
Overall, this is a good, fluffy story with no angst. The only thing that might be seen as a downside is that after Shan Zhu confesses, they just jump into their relationship, which is a little off-putting because Ling Meng previously thought of himself as straight. Other than that I would recommend this story 100% !! <<less

First, I salute the author-- making a reader laugh is totally a talent. Second, I salute the author again for creating this super funny MC (i actually downloaded the expression pack fan art lol). What is there to hate in this story if it can make you laugh like crazy and feel good afterwards? Definitely None.

This is all very good!

It's probably because I read slow burns often or stories with plot depth that I was suddenly thrown off-track the moment I read YBPGVW.

There's basically no conflict, IIRC. It's an ultra-sweet plot already on the main story that even if we wanted more, we wouldn't need an extra anymore.

... more>> I'll say, even if I liked serious plots more, I don't mind ShanMeng's fast-paced relationship. In another perspective, there's probably many serious relationships out there just as fast-paced as this one.

Basically, as a reader, who wouldn't want an early happy ending? Generally a story that is smooth sailling.

I've been looking for school-life stories and I managed to find YBPGVW after having read The Short Story of ShaoWang and its sequel Pay Attention to Me - which is both a good read! Greatly recommended.

I thought I'd run out of school life danmeis once I've finished ShaoWang and Pay Attention, who knew I'd find this YBPGVW with a similar genre after clicking through tags?!

I once again have the trouble of skimming other's reading lists for similar danmeis after finishing this one ;; <<less

The translation is MTL, but it was actually pretty well edited (thank you translator!). The story isn’t too long, and it’s just a fluff the whole way. There could be more relationship development, but somehow MC and ML just boom got together.

nice fluff read, don’t take it too seriously. Even though the plot is light, I still laughed a few times!

*giving 4 stars only because I wish there would be a bit more drama or conflict or some clear turning point event.

Super cute fluffy sweet novel of two gamers falling in love in a world of characters with fruit-based names. The translator does a fantastic job with this story which is full of slang terms. A lot of funny interactions between live streamers and their audience. Straightforward story with no drama, no misunderstandings, and no heartache. A wonderful lighthearted novel to lift up your mood — highly recommend reading!

A really beautiful and funny story. The MC, MengMeng is quite snappy, cute, and kind. Oh, quite funny too!

This one made my day. Kinda funny and cute which made my day. My exams were going on but still I read a few chapters everyday, that's how much amazing it is.

It might get a bit hard to those who haven't really played any games but it's a really intriguing one.

Absolutely brilliant, felt just like a slice of life from a beautiful pairing. Had a special feel that made it stand out for me. As a fan of livestreamers myself, it truly like I was part of their community as I watched their relationship deepen. 10/10 would read again, wish it went on longer. One nitpick is that I wish a few of the slang terms were translated less literally (e.g. Powder -> fans) because it made reading a little cluttered sometimes. Overall a wonderful novel.

See the number of 5 star ratings? Try it out.

This short but sweet story is basically all focused on romance and fluff. Note that there is smut (1 chapter only), but you can choose to read the censored version.

While I enjoyed reading the novel, the level of development doesn't quite reach my standards. If there were more chapters, I feel that there would be more development on the relationship. For example, I feel that the MC fell in love with the ML too fast, as there weren't as many shared... more>> experiences as I hoped there would be. Basically, I wish the novel was longer.

Just read it. Short and sweet sums up the story nicely. <<less

This novel is one of my all time favorites! The plot is light-hearted and funny, perfect for binge-reading. I love how ridiculously sweet it is, like tooth-achingly so. It’s the perfect pick-me-up read!

I’ve read a few other e-sport novels but this one stood out to me in how the author incorporated the stream chat. It’s kind of a hit or miss in my opinion; sometimes the chat gets to be too much or skews the mood of the scene (since they’re not privy to off-screen activities) but the stream viewers... more>> in this story were actually a source of a lot of the comedic moments. Lots of witty taunts and such that I felt added a lot to the story. And I personally find great joy in seeing all of the funny word play with their usernames 🤷‍♀️ <<less

Overall Rating: 5 -If you're looking for a simple, cute and entertaining read, you should prolly pick this one up. There's no major conflict and angst. Nevertheless, it was still a fun and short read. If you're looking for light-hearted sort of thing, this one's for you.

The story is full of fluff and so meng! There is not much plot into it but it certainly is a very fun read. This is actually one of those books that's so literal to the slice-of-life genre that as long as you... more>> carry it through without too many dramatic turns doesn't need a set plot. In this story we see the process of them dating and falling in love which is a gradual day-to-day thing.

I finished this in two hours, it got recommend to me as a good e-sport novel so I read it. Definitely worth reading for those who like fluff. I love MC and ML interactions, also their fans and side characters. I also love how the players' ID names were based on Fruit, Vegetable, Flavoring, etc. The characterization is interesting, and there is no over the top tropiness of the ML (like being very controlling and possessive). Of course there is some vinegar, but it's never too much - just enough to give you butterflies. <<less

I really liked this one! Light and fluffy read, good if you want no angst, it's very funny and the characters were super cute. The MC and ML have good personalities and there was no unnecessary drama.

Worth reading but don't expect anything deep, it had a good plot and the pacing was okay. Enjoyable but don't expect it to be the best.

Short, sweet and enjoyable. The pacing is quite fast but I enjoyed it alot, it felt like a brisk walk and not a slow drag. Not just that, but there's alot of chapters so while it's easy go read and digest, you also get to eat alot at the buffet!

Other than that, it's quite fun. If you're hoping for something that drives deep into gaming you might want to try others. But I quite like how breezy this one is - it's like being in the peripherals of the esports... more>> circle but not deep into the nitty gritty.

It's interesting that the CPs are livestreamers who are just having fun, but their circles have esports pro players in them. I quite like this relaxed distance after reading so many intense esports novel.

The MC is ordinary, I don't really see the appeal but I neither like or don't like him. Still, it's an enjoyable read if you need a break! <<less
