Edited to add: It took during my second reading for me to ask/look it up. "Shooter" = Marksman = Carry or Attack Damage Carry. And Mid lane is also known as Ability Power Carry. So when they mention "two C positions", it's the two Carry positions, "Shooter" and Mid lane.

I seriously thought on the first run through it was the top lane and bot lane on the first read cause the the way the two lanes looked on a map but the context didn't make sense 🤦🤦

I'm not really critical in the gaming things and I get to keep up with the narration, I actually liked how they just skipped the first fight against three where GH lost lol, it was a surprise but it was also good that not much chapters were wasted their. I kinda guessed from the number of chapters that they would probably win all the way to the world championship but it was still fun. I also liked the other Chinese groups, LDF, PAY, BK members, Three, I like how there were no chapters focused on them until the extras, and no unnecessary couple overpowered the Main couple.

Some may have complaints about GH being OP but I think it's just right? Gu Luo (Gloy) was just taken earlier but his skills are proven in the novel and he even have the support of Lin Yan so his growth is understandable. Chen Yushen (Abyss) is a genius who wasn't given the opportunity to shine because of what happened before and he was already strong from the start, with Lin Yan there, he got to be even more OP. Bi Yaohua (BB) was also just a bit unfortunate with his teams, altho he is not that OP, like Lin Yan said, he might be the most suitable shooter for them. His mindest and atmosphere is just the best so he is a must needed addition in GH. Jian Ye (Gun) well, he is just really right for the team that Lin Yan wants, he is specifically wanted and needed by the team, his foundation is already good, he just needed a team who can maximize his skills, a much needed good but strong person. Jing Yuanzhou (Titans) , bch is there a need to question this? Lin Yan basically made team for this man, he deserve so so much with the restraint and burden and pressure that was given to him, he is so strong, he is full of love, and he deserve a team made for him. He is perfect, it was a bit surprising that he instantly chose to retire after winning the championship but I guess there were already many foreshadowing, I am so happy that he got to play as himself in his last season as an official player of GH. He was so mistreated and I'm really happy he got his happy ending. Lin Yan (Eternal), I will forever be bittersweet about him, the parallel world extra is just putting a band aid and won't really cure the pain I felt for him. The fact that he destroyed the opposing team flawlessly when he heard that the captain got into an accident, bch. He was also literally just a child, for him to have such a life changing mental illness because of that.. Imagine training for so long to do the thing u wanted to do the most and after getting a taste of it you have to surrender it, together with the person you idolize? bch, that hurt. It was a bit of a pity that the pov of this novel doesn't really focus on the player's/characters' thoughts so I never really got to know his deepest worries and desires and all. He never told anyone the fact that he transmigrated but, I understand him. He just wants a new start and nothing would really change even if he does tell anyone, the important people in his life are also in the novel, which as he said, is the main reason why he chose to stay. I love him and he deserves the world, he deserves to be the protagonist of his own novel.

The games? it was just right, it was exciting, the face slapping of the sunspots were really nice, I'm not really critical about the technical stuffs and my knowledge is only from playing mobile legends and I think I pretty much got a clear imagination of what it is about which was really great, if it's a different game I might have to watch a video first but this one, I understood it already and I liked it. I actually wanted to see a quote like 'and this is the start of the generation of e-sports where tactics were given importance' or smthng, cause the other teams just doesn't have much planning, which is alright but if u play against teams who do have tactics, they just be giving their heads.

The romance? gurl, I felt the s*xual tension all the way to my seat outside this novel. They are literally made for each other, IDC what anyone says. #ParentsCP. Lin Yan is so cute and stubborn and smart, Jing Yuanzhuo is so strong, caring and loving. Gurl, this is what I want, why can't I have this 😭 hahahhaa I love them so much, omg with their kiss in the karaoke hehehe literally in front of everyone. It's a pity they didn't kiss in public like in the parallel world hehehe but I guess they are old enough to be able to restrain themselves. They are MTB, they are each other's cure to the cruel world, they are each other's light in life. I love how moved Titans is from all the things he received from Lin Yan, he just be giving u what u deserve man! (and himself too ehe) I love their usual teaming up in lives, and their team ups in the competition, they really be overwhelmingly strong if not for Titans age and Eternal's PTSD. Again, I would forever be bittersweet with the nickname Eternal... The fact that he had hope, and that he was happy just being able to play sometimes when he has all that skills and talent. Bch deserves so so so so much, I hate mental illnesses. They literally don't have any cure wth. How can something so damaging to a person's overall life have no cure, sighh.

Btw I always got curious to their ages, specially Lin Yan lol. Their old is literally a young to other profession so imagining was a bit hard loll, even in the parallel world, I was thinking they were kids but I think they were already 18 at that time so not really young lol.

I haven't read any other game novels so I don't have anything to compare with, but this novels really has so much retirement and it really tackled the experiences of older generations in e-sports or older players in e-sports.
