Description

As a new anchor of StarTV, Yu Yan’s ruthless tr*sh-talk, natural rifle-shooting skills, and character of never searching houses earned him a big crowd of fans.

He felt like he was a good anchor who treated all fans of his stream equally—you can suck at the game, you can get knocked down, but if you want the gun in my hand, sorry, no way man.

Until he heard the voice of the streaming platform’s Big Boss.

Yu · ultimate voice-con · Yan: I’m not familiar with this game, swap my Kar98k for your Mini-14.

Yi · brand new noob · Chen: En.

Friend: Daddy, I want to snipe too!

Yu Yan: I think this frying pan suits you very well.

Not-a-very good gamer but dripping with money and looks Big Boss vs Cute, super good tr*sh-talking gunslinger voice-con Anchor.

ITS SO CUTE and HILARIOUS

Both MC and ML like eachothers voices hehe. There are many funny moments ah~ our yanyan is really cute \ (^o^) /

It's so good. So very satisfying. Cute and heartwarming.. When I finished reading translated ones, I switched to mtl and I'm so glad that it's still easy to understand. Oh sorry I just can't wait anymore for the translations, , I am very grateful for the translators though but when I came to their last translated chapter, it was just a cliffhanger to me. Anyways, the author is so good. Reading it all is so worth it ?

The ML and MC is such a perfect match. I like both of... more>> them. I don't have any cringe moment at all while reading this novel. Rather I always find both of their interactions so cute!! So fluffy!! I can't help it, my heart keeps melting. They are both adorable! ❤️ and even MC's best buddy has his own romance here which is a little funny and I like it too.

I played PuBG before so I can relate to the game. And probably some people who rated this novel a low score is because, they are not bl lovers. But for BL lovers and who likes PUBG, you better try this one out. <<less

Cute, super slow burn romance. MC, Yu Yan, is honest, likable, and got great skills. He and ML, Yi Chen, connect when ML accidentally clicks on MC's livestream. ML is MC's first viewer so he had a special status in MC's heart. It goes into overdrive once MC hears ML's voice for the first time. 😂

There's not much drama going on but there is a bit of face slapping. ML is protective of MC and MC maintains his independent nature throughout.

Of note: The novel is tagged as yaoi but... more>> shounen ai would be more accurate. There are some "scenes" but they are surface level.

Spoiler

ML is smart and wealthy. He owns the internet platform that MC works for. However, MC does not find out ML's identity until they had both fallen for each other.

There is also a side couple. MC's best friend ends up being catfished... his online girlfriend turns out to be a dude. That romance is detailed in the extras.

A very sweet and refreshing feeling novel, though I wouldn't say it's anything too special in the esports category. It's a little bland compared to the other novels by this author and definitely not as humorous, but I would still recommend it for some light reading if you need some fluff.

There's no dogblooded drama and the focus is definitely more on relationship development than actual esports, as MC is a streamer and not a pro player, but that's to my preference anyways! The games are easy to follow and all... more>> quite short in length, and there's a humorous undertone throughout the novel, as with all other novels I've read by this author.

There's a bit of an age gap with MC being 19 and ML 27, but they're both experiencing love for the first time so it puts them more on equal ground in their relationship. MC is hardworking and honest, and ML is a bit of a green tea sometimes, but I do love the flavor. It's an overall very wholesome dynamic and they both are good at showing up for one another in their low moments. A bit fairytale-like, but it's fiction!

Also shoutout to the side couple that actually interested me enough to read all their extras. I find it pretty rare for me to stay engaged in a whole other couple's storyline, so it was definitely a nice surprise. The two of them make a really funny match, and I especially enjoyed getting to see the details after bits and pieces were revealed throughout the main story. <<less

Rated 4 stars

A really cute and fluffy story. This author really knows how to write fluff well. However, I do think you'll be thrown for a loop when you suddenly find out the ML only wants to be friends with the MC.

I've read a few of this authors novels and have the same issue; the gay denial/obliviousness just doesn't work. I genuinely can't find excuses for this ML when the first half of the story feels like he is actively chasing the MC, then he hits you with the friend... more>> card. But, this can be forgiven because their flirting is delicious. It just would have been better to make it so the ML was chasing the MC from the beginning. I haven't put a spoiler on this bit because, based on my experience of this authors works, they assume you know that the characters are in denial/oblivious - it really isn't obvious and I would say it's actually the opposite!

There are also a couple of plot holes/contradictions later in this story that I just can't wrap my head around.

Spoiler

In the main story I'm pretty sure the MC and ML state that they don't want to hide each other and will acknowledge each other. But in the extras which take place a few years later, their relationship still isn't public, and the reason given is due to MCs contracts as a representative- he didn't have these contracts in the main story, so it makes no sense to me that he would take these jobs which mean they can't make their relationship public after they've both said they won't hide it. Especially as the ML clearly wants everyone to know about them.

There's also the plot point about where the MC lives. During the main story, it is referenced that his home will be torn down. By the time we get to the extras it's not really clear if the MC and ML are living together. If they are, then I have no idea how the stream fans can't guess that they're together.

[collapse]

It'd just a couple of logic points I can't get my head around.

Other than that, this is a great story. Fluffy, interesting, and has a great side cp! The cp ML has major red flags and I love him because he acknowledges them. Not the type of ML you want in real life, but I love this kind of character in fiction. I would have loved to have had a full length novel about the side cp!

Definitely worth a read if you like fluffy, streaming/entertainment type novels. <<less

Only I really believe in Writer Jiang Zi bei 😭😭

All the stories are really mood lifters. Believe me, you just need to read to make you smile and forget a little about the problems that exist in your real world.

maybe it's not as perfect as Jiang Zi Bei's other works. But still this story has the right portion. 70% sweet things 🤭 10% life, 10% games and 10% drama.

although I regret it a little, did Yanyan finally be honest about his family with Boss 1 or not. But still they... more>> are both VERY SWEET.

The fake birthday scene still sticks out to me. A hug from Yanyan even calms me down 🥺🥺

One of the other sweet stories from Writer Jiang zi Bei.

amazing🤍 <<less

I have given five star for the Main CP... the side CP, however, needs a bit of reconsideration.

The MC and ML have a fate together, MC being voice con, and ML taking an interest in online gaming. The story's development was a bit one-sided in the beginning, the ML getting increasingly engaged with his emotions for MC. The MC started to like ML only after hearing his voice, not even caring about how ML might look like.

The MC's parents' story was very vaguely detailed as if it was there for... more>> the plot's sake. I wish there were more details, I wanted to know the role of the uncle who seemed very caring towards the MC but was always drowned with some guilt of negligence.

Spoiler

Someone mentioned that the ML's dynamics with his parents and his best friend lacked closure, which I disagree. The ML talked with his mother and realized that his parents were not less caring towards him, and he even met with them during the new year, received gifts for his lover, coming out to his parents. So, there is closure. With his best friend also, he came over to his house, has a heart-to-heart with ML, and stayed for dinner receiving an invitation directly from the ML, breaking the ice that prevailed since their argument.

[collapse]

Yan Ran, the little cousin has a well-rounded character. He is a dedicated and good supporting character, adorable at times, making me feel like he's only 15-16 yo.

Moving to the side CP, I can say it's too cliche for a BL. Any kind of deception is a big red flag, no matter for how long the 2nd ML has been following the 2nd MC. There are many novels where two males become friends first and from there onwards the relationship becomes more intimate. The catfish troup is like forcing a straight man to become bend, which doesn't sit well with my conscience. The author somehow brought an HE around, but it is highly unrealistic, though possible only in novels.

All in all, its a good read. <<less

Don’t even like PUBG or first person shooter games but really liked this novel. The game mechanics were described well enough to be engaging.

A lot of satisfying face slapping with ML’s position as boss, and the voice con parts give me tingles imagining it.

So many happy feel-good relationship moments. Although it took them a while to figure out their feelings but there was a lot of dog food to eat along the way. Nicely paced progression.

Would read again!

Waaahhh I cannot contain my joy and amazement from reading PUBG. I can't remember feeling this same level of satisfaction aside from when I was reading Legendary Master's Wife.

The author, Jiang Zi Bei, really knows when to drive the emotions of the readers. You'll feel it when it hurts and you'll definitely feel it when it's happy and sweet.

Out of the three novels in this shared universe, PUBG definitely tops it coz I guess there were more personal interactions which drove me crazy into getting a toothache. My ranking so... more>> far:

  1. PUBG
  2. GHFOD
  3. ICDI
Seriously, you need to read Yanyan and Chen's story to have something bright and sweet in your bleary daily lives.

Kudos to juurensha and her editors at CG for bringing this quality translation to BL readers. I loved every chapter of it! Cheers~ <<less

Main Plot: MC (Yu Yan) is a young 19yo that's been working as an accompanying player for a PUBG game. This year, he decided to become an anchor for the most popular live-streaming platform (StarTV). Coincidentally, on his first ever livestream show, he manages to nab the platform's big boss (the ML 1/YiChen) into being his first-ever audience. What follows is a slow burn romance with a couple of ups and downs.

There are a lot more knives than I thought there would be, so the reading experience isn't very chill... more>> at all. The characters are also rather frustrating at times—though one could argue that that makes them more real, the character growth is also a bit lacking in the end—but I still ended up being fond of them.

I've seen many other reviews being disappointed because, compared to the author's other well-known work "How to Fail at Online Dating" this is definitely a bit lacking. I agree, I definitely prefer the author's other work more, but this novel is pretty okay too, so I recommend giving it a chance. At the very least, the setting is really good. The author does a good job setting up the MC's live-streams. Though a good chunk of the credit should probably go to the TL-ers at CG, who provided lots of helpful footnotes for fans unfamiliar with the gameplay!

CHARACTERS: 6/10

As mentioned, here we have lots of "imperfect characters". I usually don't mind this, but the lack of clear character growth makes it a bit frustrating... Like, they do go through some changes T.T but it feels like it's not enough.

Yu Yan (MC)

The MC, because of his background, is not really in the best state mentally. He's a yes man—unable to say no to people—and a bit of a pushover. The author gives a good reason for him being like this though, it's all very clear, and I actually applaud them for their consistency. But this feature of his, paired with his stubbornness, means that he makes a lot of dumb/annoying choices throughout the course of the novel.

Yi Chen (ML)

Overbearing president style. But also with a hidden weakness. Like with the ML, the author does a good job setting up his character, but ends up not doing much with it in the end. The most notable feature about him is that he's avoidant of relationships, which I thought was pretty interesting for an ML.

ROMANCE: 7.5/10

The romance is slow burn and the type that is driven by lack of communication and misunderstandings. The two characters are set up in a way that it's a miracle they even got together djksksks they're both very closed off! I like the fact that the author explored their growth through their romance though. Even if it was minuscule amount, and definitely not enough, growth was still growth.

(Extra Note: There's a pretty big—compared to other novels—side ship here. With 12 extra chapters dedicated to their romance. I actually found them pretty cute, their dynamics certainly a lot more... Danmei than our awkward duo for this novel. Which you may or may not prefer. I recommend checking it out either way!)

SETTING: 8/10

It starts off mainly being about the MC's PUBG livestreams. So the setting explored is mainly the life of an anchor and the gameplay. I actually found this pretty interesting, and once again can only thank the TL-ers put in so much effort explaining it.

PLOT: 8/10

Casual, slice of life — anchor/gameplay —so there's not too many ups and downs at first. But it slowly boils over to include drama with other anchors, then romance drama, then w bit of family drama mixed with the two main characters' pasts being brought up. As mentioned, beware of knives 🔪! This is not a chill story. The awkward characters are in for lots of 🔪 trouble.

RATING: 3.68/5

Overall, while this is certainly not a fave, I still read it through to the end, so I can't say I disliked it. It's the kind of story where the urge to scream at the characters' is very strong, but also, you can't bear to scold them too much because they really just are cute idiots. LOL. Give it a shot if you dare! It won't be as good as the "How to Fail at Online Dating" but I think you might like it anyway. <<less

I enjoyed reading it so much. I love the powerful gaming skill of the protagonist, handsome MC and ML, amazing ML, both are amazing person. I also like the other couple, and also ML cousin. I like how MC and ML communicate with each other and how they quickly solving the problem if there's any, or if any misunderstanding. Thank you so much chrysanthemumgarden. Com for translating.. I like it so much when the translator gives footnote or hyperlink to the related pictures, it helps me understand more, especially things... more>> related to PUBG (type of gun, etc)..

Definitely going to read this novel again.. Hehehe <<less

It's very... bland. I expected more from this. MC has a somewhat weak personality and ML is just, , , that. It would be good if main CP was given more depth or a little more. Reading this made me rethink life. MC liked ML and was already jealous before seeing his face. What if the other side is unconventionally attractive and has a meh personality, that would suck. Anyhows, I guess online romance are just not my thing.

🥺🥺🥺🥀🥀 their love is so cute 🥺🥺 loved their romance! ((Even more than icdi /slapped))

loved how you could see how boss yi was slowly falling for our manly MC 😘😘 and how he treated him so well 🥺 theyre perfect for each other and they fill each others emptiness.

i tried pubg and shooter games before, so I was a bit intrigued by the gameplay, but eventually it loses focus on it and is more focused on romance 🥳 good either way. Pubg scenes were so adorable tho!!! They... more>> rlly out there online dating

tho honestly I didnt like the side pair much. Just wasnt for me, a matter of personal taste!

i loved yi ran vm I hoped he had an extra too 😭

there were parts that I felt were rushed tho, , but it's not that bad or important! If youre not sure, if u should believe the recommendations here or the low reviews, I suggest you read first 20 chapters yourself and see if it's for you! Energy is basically same through out novel, I think.

liked the story 🥰 v sweet and fun to read 4.5/5 <<less

I love this story sooooooo much!!!!!! Even though I still get confused on the game part (again, bec I'm not a gamer), The translator gives really a good explanation (shout out to CG Teams!)

I really don't want this story to end T__T I want to read more more more extras! Also for the second couple too! I'm glad the author gives enough chapters in the extra! (But I still want more haha)

This is super fluff and with slightly hurt/comfort. I really like their character development... How it was... more>> started and how they start their relationship, ugh.. I really love it!

This author become my favorite!
I fully recommended this story if you want to read fluff and a lot dog food!

Also thank you CG for picked up this story! <<less

I didn't even realise I finished until I couldn't find the next chapter ; w ;) / I'm not a huge fan of e-sports but the MC's character really hooked me in. I am a bit put-off with how the author seems to give him a feminine-like/frail appearance but his personality definitely makes up for it. And I can be delusional and just pretend I'm reading a more manly/boyish MC. TBH the main premise of the plot is so unrealistic, like of course your first livestream viewer would be the... more>> BOSS himself!! Romance was very fluffy though ML does show some creepy vibes- but whatever, he's hot so I guess he gets a pass for most people. I would like to add that I love the side-couple. I fell for MC's childhood friend and was happy to find out that this manly, compassionate friend ends up being the bottom in the relationship :') Yay to manly bottoms! <<less

I really want to give 2 stars but due to obvious effort of translator, I gave 4. Whole story is too much evolve around PUBG gaming and ML is unrealistically too rich. I seriously think PUGB is not a right online game to build the story. Too small field to build up the story. After reading ICDI, I am feeling this novel is too much repetitively into VR world. However, I really enjoy translator's explanation with those pictures from gaming wiki.

Ok I love this sooo much. I thought I wouldnt like this as much, considering I've only been reading BL gaming novels that are MoBA games and not FPS, but unexpectedly I love the gaming part of this novel. And I laughed so hard at some parts because it's reallly funny. They got together at chapter 70, which is tbh imho, a disckaimer coz you can consider it slow burn, BUT you wont feel like it's too long, from the start, you can already feel the fluff and eat dog... more>> food haha. The side CP, I cried so much... they only have 16 side extra chapters for their stories, and I'm already so satisfied. So, I'd definitely recommend anyone to read this! <<less

Finally done reading this novel and love it so much, both MC and ML are so cute. there are lots of sweet scenes. The side charecters are also very funny.. But will only give it 4.3 Rate because I am not satisfied I want more of MC and ML interaction and also mc's moment with ml's family.

Other thing I specially liked about this novel is the story between Second couple... sad and touching....

Overall it is a very nice and sweet novel to read. you will keep smiling when you read... more>> it... <<less
