When an Alpha is Marked by One of His Own Kind

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Within the industry, everyone knew Team DG’s captain Lu Zhe and Team BLX’s top laner Shen Qiao didn’t get along. They said it was due to hormones. They said it was a basic AA incompatibility.

Lu Zhe once said of Shen Qiao: “Obsessed with kills. Lone wolf.”

With a cold smile, Shen Qiao said of Lu Zhe: “Command’s mediocre. Shitty jungler.”

But then…

When Team DG, champions of the last tournament season, stumbled during the Spring Tournament and fell during the semifinals, someone cut through the furious cursing and swearing that had consumed the internet and leaked the news—

Shen Qiao was going to be traded. He was joining Team DG.

When that news came out, the internet roared.

Did Shen Qiao and Lu Zhe fight today?

On esports forums, trolls and haters placed their bets. It was endless, until Team DG won its second world championship crown.

Half a month after the tournament.

The players of Team DG hosted a livestream: “The lodgings were awful. Captain and Qiaoqiao had to share a room. Aren’t we pitiful?”

Shen Qiao, sitting next to the monitor, glanced over through hooded eyes. He caught a glimpse of a bullet comment and echoed it out loud: “Did we fight?”

He lifted a hand to his neck. “We fought.”

Lu Zhe approached with a cup of black tea. Just in time to see Shen Qiao touch the bite mark on his throat. He added:

“We even broke the bed.”

Simple and straightforward.

Shameless ML AA pairing. No plot twist of someone suddenly becoming an O. Great interactions between the pair. Esports part was kinda rushed but it's alright. I'm here for mindless entertainment

If you like LoL I think you will enjoy this book a lot. Captivating read. Not too much angst and sad bits.

Although it's an omegaverse setting, doesn't focus much on that. This is an AA story tho.

ML is shameless and really funny. MC is more introvert but shows his sweetness occasionally. Expected a lot more angst and misunderstandings based on their background but im glad it didn't happen.

Lots of gameplay explanation. Got a little confused so I just breezed thru those parts.

Review : 4/5

This novel was a really good read. It has so much humour that I enjoyed a lot and my first time reading esports based novel and it was a good experience. The shamelessness and tenderness in this novel was really great!!!.

If u started reading it, you will started to love the side characters are lot. I didn't know whether there is extra or not but I'm satisfied with this storyline. The ending is short and sweet and it made me shed a lot of tears!!!..

Definitely... more>> recommended!. Will do reread in the future!!! <<less

I read this a year ago. But I didn't see my comment, and I thought I had to leave a trace somehow!!!

This is not a subtle novel, I'm pretty sure of that even though I forgot a few parts a bit. Their family is really annoying, especially Daddy Lu's family 🥹🥹

But what I can say is, that they are truly the definition of a couple who fall, and grow together 🥹🥺

Really, our very cold and innocent baby wolfie, but meets our tough and pe*verted Daddy Lu. They fought, rose, and... more>> achieved glory together 🥺🥺

For those who don't really like esports, this might not be their reading, because this is an esports novel with a romance bonus.. The process of their struggle, the details of their game, their competition, the process of them winning almost 70% is present in this story..

This may not be my favorite esports novel, but it's worth enough to 'shake up' and enjoy your day..

Shameless Daddy Lu, and our very adorable wolfie, cute team members DG and BLX, I will really miss them all.. <<less

The characters are cute and the story is mostly interesting. I'm not very familiar with LOL so the gaming parts were boring for me. I wish the author would have explained some things a little better about their past and MC's medical issues.

Now this is good and a surprise! I really love the trope despite my general dislike for the esport genre. This is my first AA couple and I really like it so much, they're strong, sweet, and dreamy. Both are the perfect lover for each other and reading their scenes together made me smile so much.

I doubted it at first too because of the siblings not related by blood but I like how the scenes of their family is not that much, but enough to give us their bittersweet background.

Overall,... more>> 5/5, I really like it so much! <<less

Good story. Didn't really understand the gaming context so wasn't able to fully immerse myself in the story. Won't take a star away for that since it's on my end. Translator did an awesome job!

My first E-sports novel and I didn’t even saw that it was about E-sports so imagine my confusion when I read the terms top laner, bottom laner, mid laner, and jungler. Don’t even get me started at Aatrox, Kai’Sa, Renekton, Ornn, Braum, Jarvan IV, etc. I thought that I was reading a fantasy novel.

BUT NO. IT’S GOLD. SUPER WORTH THE READ. I don’t know anything about LOL or any mobile games (I get dumber watching and playing them), but this novel made me think that I can win the world... more>> championship after reading it.

That’s how great the author narrated this story and how great the translator translated it. Really made me love not just the novel but also the game. ❤️ <<less

5/5 #Favourites

Very enjoyable although fairly typical gaming novel. The ABO setting presents mostly as a means to have their scent waffling around but otherwise does not hold significant influence. Almost no Omega willy or consent issues! MC and ML are both alphas with past history with each other, and although their past is dramatic, the novel didn't dwell on it or go too in-depth, so it didn't feel too melodramatic (although if you think about it then it still kind of is). Mostly, MC and ML little subtle flirting in... more>> between working hard to win their championship was cute and fluffy. The games weren't overly detailed and the author herself admitted to not being proficient enough in the game to be very good in regards to the gameplay. But personally I don't play LoL so I didn't feel it much. Overall, a novel without much substance but very enjoyable. Probably made it into one of my favourites just coz it has de-stressing effects with its fluff and the soft dedication and loyalty in the relationship. <<less

I've read this then dropped this at 4 chapters, then I re-read again after some time.

It's an ABO x E-sports with interesting backstory for the main characters, which is surprisingly quite dark. Unfortunately, this story tried to incorporate a lot of things all at once that I don't know which to focus on because it doesn't seem to mesh that well. I found myself eager with the romance, intrigued with the flashbacks, that the excitement with the e-sports scene faded into the background. I have read a lot of e-sports... more>> novel and I had no issue with them, I also played MOBAs before (not LoL but almost the same) but for some reason, I couldn't relate to the gaming scene here. I came to the point where I don't even care who they were up against because there's literally no background on the different teams. They just keep popping out of nowhere. Even the members from the second string weren't properly introduced, they just appear & disappear when needed. I ended up skimming thru it just to get a progress on the main characters 'romance'.

As for the characters. The ML isn't your typical cold and aloof guy, he's actually a pe*vert & a daredevil. Which is new.
Spoiler

Tbh I'm a little annoyed with how it repeatedly describes how the ML smiles like a blooming flower every single time he see the MC. Also when the MC just joined their team, ML keep spewing pervy jokes towards MC, which—let's assume that the MC had gotten rid of all his romantic feelings for him, wouldn't that come off as s*xual harassment?

[collapse]

Meanwhile, the MC is quiet, but that's due to his f*cked up past.
Spoiler

Seriously I feel sorry for him, he and ML are like "step-brothers" but not related by blood. MC's foster mom is the real wife of ML's father. ML is a "bastard" son, but MC isn't a real son either. Basically he's just a victim that got dragged into the family's mess when he's just supposed to be a "nobody". He's not even related by blood but he'd been subjected to different tortures that he doesn't deserve! Why?

[collapse]
Well, aside from that his character doesn't really stand out much. He was given a title of "wolf cub" but his personality is often compared to a cat?? Which is a bit contradictory to me.

Anyway, I enjoyed reading the author's little note at the end, sometimes she explains things, but I guess the writing style isn't up to my taste. I've gotten this far but I'm barely forcing myself to read through it. It's not that bad, tbh, but I guess this is something you can read to kill time. <<less

Spoiler

4.5 because there were unnecessarily detailed games?? like some games were explained the whole time but I don't see it's importance in the story line at all, like it could be summarized in just one paragraph and then there were games that would actually be more exciting cause it included the DG team that was just summarized in one sentence. It was a bit, inconsistent, I actually had to just skip some (really just a bit) of those parts until the game finished to see why the author had to drag those games out for 😅. Also, I think I'm just not really a fan of too much flashback? cause I want to know more about the characters first to feel more attached to them and It feels like I don't know them much when there is suddenly a flashback, and take note, the whole issue here is a flashback, the whole pain and suffering is a flashback and I kinda wished I was there when they were experiencing it but because it's inly a flashback it lessens the empathy towards them? cause they're already better now, anw, it's my personal opinion. It didn't affect the storyline, it was good, sad, and just complete dog food HAHAHA

ASIDE from that, the games were exciting, the storyline was unique, I can't believe their parents made them suffer so much?? wth was wrong with them, it never really stated their side but I don't really care cause they just suck. Lol with how Shen Qiao honestly answered Lele in the beginning about his relationship with Lu Zhe HAHAHAH half brother and ex-boyfriend. even I didn't expect both to be true, thought it would just be one of the two.

Other teams, I honestly don't feel that attached to them cause they just come and go?? Like when the author needs a 3rd pov, they just put them in, and when they don't they're just out. Anw they were still good players, the only ones that were really mentioned were Lele, Momo and that annoying xu xiao.

DG team is just good and funny, Qian bao (Money) in the mid lane who likes spicy food, Er hua (Flower) bot lane who is suffering from old wu's voice HAHAH, Old wu (Woow) and his bottle lol the only side couple HAHAHA, Lu Zhe (ZHE) and his OP jungle skills and memorable starting lines, Shen Qiao (Wolfy) and his aggressiveness and his cute desire to use glass vases in the top lane. They really just OP and cute and fun.

Lu Zhe is so loving and shameless, and really good as a jungle. The things that happened to them was no way his fault, he was just too powerless but like Shen Qiao said, he always comes at the right time. He really also suffered when he was sent abroad and the way his freedom to enter BLX was taken from him was so ugh. I like his straight forwardness, his h**nyness HAHAHA, his skills, and his never disappearing s*xual tension with Shen Qiao, srsly, is s*xual tension a criteria for e-sports BL? they always have that feeling hahahah. Btw, the smexy scene, 👀🔥, alpha's vestigial womb? biting the gland? I didn't expect a detailed smexy scene in chap 86 cause the previous ones were just "....." but I think that was their first time?? idrk, it was just hot, and how QiaoQiao begs huhuh so cute, Laogong~. Anw, he really worked hard with his college and with his e sport career, he deserve so much. also, all the banned accts from when qiao's streams hahhaha I just hope that he confides more in Shen Qiao, cause I know he loves him so much that he doesn't want him to face any problems anymore, but it would still be better if they face those things together. 💕

Shen Qiao, he was so wronged. That aversion therapy was just wth shen jinyi sigh. He was really really in the dark before he encountered Lu Zhe again. He deserves so much, I'm glad that he got to at least have e-sports in his life that kept him going and allowed him to live a bit better. It was a pity that no one really knew (aside from the insiders) about what happened to him so that they would know him more but he's an alpha and he probably doesn't want to be pitied. We really got to see how he was changing when he begins being with Lu Zhe, I'm so happy for him. His sudden bouts of being sweet are just 💗. Lu Zhe is his salvation aww. it's true tho. I also like his aggressive plays and lol btw with how Wolfy and Captain Lu would have differing opinions in "Charge, Charge" and "Retreat, retreat" hahahah it's just balancing each other out~ Wolfy is so cute, huhuh scared of horror games and out alpha bot loll, when he said he dreamt hahahahaha I guess they won't change positions cause Cap Lu won't allow it, at least they get to mark each other hehehe again, smexy scene was hot, QiaoQiao was just really asking to be teased lol.

I love them so much, they suffered so much and they deserved NONE of it. Seriously! They deserve that 4 time world champions!! And I love how they came public hehehe AA ftw. LuShen ftw.

[collapse]

This was a good read! It ain't all fun and games, the BL was 💕 good and sweet, I am full with dog food. It's probably better to know the game LOL first before reading this, cause it would be easier to imagine. It was exciting and funny at times. The ending was satisfying 💛

Aaaahhh, AA really is true love!!!!! Super manly A x Super manly A!!!

So cute, so cute, way tooo cute TAT

Haaaaaa, MC and ML is just ever so lovely, even tho ML is way too shameless XD but love how they're willing to overcome and let go of their past suffering and walk towards a future where they're happy, so sweeeeeet (their backstory is too good - it made me wanna protect them >.<) ML spoiling our super cold and lone wolf MC was super nice to read about too!!!!

For the... more>> gaming aspect, honestly, it wasn't too exciting and I've no idea what went on - I've got the MOBA basics down from 'later, he became a royal healer'/'glory'/'the e-sport circle's toxic assembly camp', so I did get the general gist of it but when names from LOL characters and those references appeared, like how Graves can be used as either a top laner, jungler or middle laner, I was like wat???? Huh??? Well, you obviously need some knowledge and experience with LOL to comprehend those gaming scenes, oof.

Anyways, im satisfied with the journey of MC's and ML's team overcoming obstacles, working hard to stay at the top of the e-sports industry and winning that Worlds championship! Super satisfying!! So, you definitely should read this! <<less

The story is bloody sugar knife.

... more>>
Spoiler

There bloody part comes from MC and ml's family (who completedly opposed them being together and took exteme measures).

The sugar is mc&ML who truly like->love each other.

The knife is their separation in the past cause they're too young to realize and break-out of their parents' manipulation.

Thankfully, before anyone important die from broken heart - mc&ML reconcilied and successfully defy their family together

[collapse]

If I were to nitpick something - it's that the game-aspect is too real/technical - (unlike other lol-based game which usually describes matches in a way that non lol-player reader could enjoy) - I can't get whats going on and ends up skimming/skipping the matches.

Possible trigger warning:

Spoiler

MC is adopted to Lu family and raised by the real/legal wife.

ML is the mistress' son.

So they're legally related even if they're raised separatedly and by different mothers.

I've got to say, the fluff is very good and I love the couple so much.... but, the gameplay aspect of this isn't written too well, it gets boring (if you don't get League of Legends). there are some loose ends ngl, but I love both MC and ml's past and how they got together at the end. Very heartwarming and def recommend.

surprisingly better than what I expected. usually abo novels are about alphaxomegas so this one really interest me alot. well first I have to say that based on the reviews I previously thought that it would be quite angsty but it wasnt that bad in the end.

the relationship between the two alphas are also very cute. I love the fact that despite being apart and so many things coming in between them and their 'parents' doing all sort of sh*t to keep them apart, they still loved each other throughout... more>> that whole period of time. the fact that alphas are not supposed to be tgt (since they kind of repel each other) makes the relationship between the two alphas much cuter.

lastly, haissssssss... you knowww when an alpha bites anothers pheromone glands they will feel extreme pain. so when LZ wanted SQ to bite his I was honestly quite happy (since LZ alr bit SQ's one last time) but then he decided to hesitate n back out. and you know they are both alphas so I kind of wanted them to switch and have both be the top at times but well LZ seems to want to dominate all the time despite SQ also being an alpha and also having the wants to dominate his partner too. kinda hoped that SQ could have a chance to top but that did not happen so I was a little disappointed.

but but overall I think it was a quite entertaining and interesting novel. especially since its an esports one with abo. soo I think it is quite worth the read. <<less

I have no idea how the game works but how the author wrote it make my heart flutter as if I am actually watching the game. I love the exchange of banters of each character and how the love story develop is not fast nor slow just right. This novel is not something I would read again but still giving it 5 star because I enjoyed every chapter of it. Best wishes Author and keep it up Translator-sama u have worked hard.

The story, centered around a rekindled romance, had me hooked right from the start. The 'lovers reunited' theme shone brightly, and you could practically feel the intense emotions between the characters, even though they had been apart for years. Let's talk about Lu Zhe. He's shamelessly flirty and turns tirades into pure fun - he's the life of the story. The author nailed the characterization, making each character feel like they're plucked from real life. What I liked was that the book tackles some serious stuff. It talks about things... more>> that the LGBTQ community (and other communities that face social stigma) can relate to, making the love story feel even more real and relatable.

I'm not the biggest esports fan. So, I skipped through those parts. It's nothing against the novel; it's just not my thing. But hey, the fact that I still enjoyed the story says a lot about its charm. I wish the author made the esports parts to be more enjoyable for those of us who aren't big fans. Add some extra excitement, or maybe make it so engaging that even people like me get hooked on the esports vibe.

However, I found myself losing interest when the plot slowed down a bit. My curiosity about what happens next waned. Despite this, it's got all the elements of a feel-good romance – love, laughter, and a dash of real-life spice. So, if you're into heartwarming stories that also touch on the messy parts of love, this one's a winner. <<less

Thank you! 😂I had fun reading this novel, like bro, the moment the author explained what LOL means, I was like, Ight! BREAK!!! 😂🤣 Or else I'll be hearing those, "Killing spree!, Request Back up!, First blood, Double Kill!" Ight Im not gonna go to that freaking rabbit hole again, I'm done 🤣

Anyways, the author wrote the game play very well, and yes, thank you as well translator for making it possible for other readers that might not playing or doesn't have a idea about LoL to imagine how the... more>> game works while reading it, and when it comes to the romance aspect, I don't have anything to rant 😂 they tried to solve their old problems before officially going back together, and I also like the fact that their private matters at home didn't affect their career well of course aside from the that time when Emperor Lu's father did messed up with them during a tournament but instead of leaving his side, the cub didn't give up and decided to face whatever might happen together with emperor Lu. Oh and it's a happy ending too so, what are you waiting for? 😂 If you want to hype up while reading a Esport/BL Novel, Go ahead. Have fun! 😁 <<less
