Description

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

Chief tactician Lin Yan entered an e-sports novel. At this time, there was still a whole year to go before the original plot started.

The big devil who would frighten people in the future was still a thin-skinned little anchor; the disaster who once disturbed the e-sports circle was playing as an accompanying player; the best healer was sitting on the cold bench of a third-rate team; the strongest king at shooting his mouth off offending the media and his black materials were flying all over the place…

They would shine as the plot progressed but unfortunately, their teams weren’t strong enough. In the end, they couldn’t escape the fate of a cannon fodder.

Lin Yan couldn’t bear to see these talents being wasted. The e-sports professional reality show started and he spent money to set up the GH Club, moving from east to west to select his team.

The variety fans: ??? Is this ‘Go Home’ team picking up the junk?

This lasted until all the opponents were coughing up blood at GH’s tactics and could only watch GH get a ticket to the professional league.

The entire e-sports circle knew that apart from their captain Jing Yuanzhou, the entire GH team was a group of barely qualified variety show players not worth paying attention to. As a result, this toxic team swept through the field and reached the top in their first year of the league.

When the media interviewed GH: Captain Jing, why did you agree to Coach Lin’s proposal and join GH?

Jing Yuanzhou: He pestered me every day saying ‘I want you’. It was really difficult to turn down such great kindness.

Lin Yan: “???”

Check the salary deduction warning.

The entire Internet went crazy: Parental love is real!!!

I'm a total s**ked for e-sport novels. It was a sweet read and I loved that the view came from the coach. The interaction between the MC and ML was really great. Such a healthy relationship, with a perfect give and take between the two.

No idea why it was/is tagged as Adult though. There is no gore and (sadly) no smut. It fades to black past kissing.

I'm not that far in yet and I'll keep reading because I really want to like this novel.

I like the MC and ML as well as the side characters but... lol. It's getting a bit annoying reading 'big breasts'. I play a lot of video games and I understand that action video games usually cater to the male audience and so along with that, the male gaze. I just didn't think I'd have to read it in books too.

I've learned to ignore it or steer away from those games if... more>> they take it too far. The novel keeps bringing up the support character and how she has big breasts and a small waist. I can see why they bring up that the support game character is a female healer who looks kind because it's such a big contrast to the character who plays her but bringing up the big breasts every time is really just... disappointing. It would be different if the other video game characters were physically described too but they're not.

Bringing up the big breasts in the beginning was a bit weird but I understood and then it kept being brought up. Again and again. And calling her sexy.

Here is a paragraph about the video game character:

"Linley Witch was a shy beauty but now she had become an unrestrained hot rose."

Without context you'd think Linley Witch was one of the novel characters. She's being given more personality than the male character playing her lol. Every time Jian Ye is brought up, the game character he plays is described more than he is. His name might as well be Linley Witch.

Another weird paragraph. I think it contains a bit more info so I'll put a spoiler warning:

Spoiler

"As time passed, both sides soon reached level three. There was a flash of light and Jian Ye's Linley Witch finally took action. A new wave of soldiers had just arrived. She twisted her small waist and took a few steps forward."

[collapse]

It's just such a weird and useless thing to add. Maybe it's just me, idk.

It's not a serious issue just amusing and annoying (as well as weird). It's so off putting and random that it makes me not want to read the novel. But I'm used to pushing through so that's what I'll do.

On top of that, so far from the current chapter I'm on, there has not been one female character introduced. I think the only one I remember was the woman at the front desk who spoke one sentence to the MC and she was fawning over his looks. I'm really hoping there's more female characters with depth who have a chance to shine. I'll continue reading. It's a good novel from what I see and I'm not far in so I'm hoping it changes a bit.

I'll come back to edit once I do. I want to read further to really create a better review.

Edit: It got a bit better. It's not a bad novel. I still stand with the 4 stars but will probably DNF this novel and maybe come back to it later. <<less

Coach Lin is the GOAT. I love this character. Such shamelessness, confidence, and arrogance, yet, it is backed up by talent, hard work, and tirelessness.

MC and ML may be considered to be OP, but, I don’t think that’s the case. They work, and they work hard to achieve their goals.

Great cast of characters, a lot of face slapping, and a whole lot of fun. Enjoyed his novel fully

... more>>
Spoiler

one thing I wasn’t clear on though: in which life did the accident to Lin’s captain happen? If it was in the novel, then why would he carry the psychological shadow with him? He didn’t actually live through it. I also would have loved to known kore of his life prior to the transmigration

So another League e-sports based novel. I don't play that much LoL but a lot of the plot mentioned in here is definitely fantasy. This is also an older novel (or feels older because it mentions 3-ban instead of the current 5-ban system which was implemented in 2017.)

I think that's fine; the novel isn't super focused on making realistic plays. The author has an understanding of the game for sure, but it's also definitely exaggerated a LOT for plot or effect.

So I wouldn't recommend this if you were interested... more>> in the technical parts of the game being portrayed well, it's more focused on the relationship development between the main characters as well as building up a team. Which I personally enjoyed.

Overall very fluffy, not much angst, just a lot of banter and happy fluff.

One thing is that the translation is not very on point for the gaming terms. I've been a fan of RainbowTurtle's translations for a long time, but in this case there were quite a few that missed the mark.

Such as the mentions of "side lane" and some other terms (like "output" or "shooter") would be better translated as top/bottom lane, DPS, ADC, ARAM, baron, river crab, the different dragon buffs (infernal) etc. But it's ok, RainbowTurtle is very speedy.

Spoiler

Half the time I was reading I was wracking my brain on matching champions to the code names or pseudonyms the author/translator used for them

I think I figured out a few of them? But no clue on the rest.

[collapse]

Also, pet peeve of mine, please use "antis/haters" when talking about "black" fans. Seriously doesn't make sense in English. What is a "black fan"?

  • A fan who is trying to blackmail their idol? No.
  • A fan who is doing illegal activities? No (at least, I'm pretty sure being toxic on the internet isn't illegal just yet).
  • A fan who is of African descent? No.
There is no reason for this translation and makes zero sense in English, "anti" or "hater" or "troll" actually makes sense. Thanks. <<less

I like the characters a lot. They're all nice and comedic. However, the plot doesn't seems to be focus on E-sports but the romance between MC and ML who happened to be pro players.

Many times, the writer either just skipped the game or rushed it. Meanwhile, the romances were prolonged and frequent.

The intervals between each games were incredibly long while the actual game were described perfunctorily. I couldn't help but feel like being cheated since I expected more gameplay from this type of novel.

Anyway, when the MC and ML are... more>> together, their relationship is very cute and sweet. They are both supportive and protective towards each other, which indicate a very healthy relationship. <<less

A good novel. I originally thought there would be a lot of drama but the plot can be considered lighthearted with the face-slapping, the comedy and the romance.

My favourite part would be the character development of not just the main couple (who made me sweat with anxiety) but also the side characters ahem the children. Seeing them overcome their pasts and fight for their dreams is very moving.

I have to admit though that I'm not very familiar with MOBA games so some of the game elements of the story are... more>> lost on me.

Overall this has been a satisfying read for me. <<less

Really incredible. I can't stop myself from reading.

As a french reader, the translation seems really fine and it's not difficult to understand the video game's vocabulary.

The characters have all their own story and are well developped.

The romance is really great and not too slow or too fast.

The game's fights are breathtaking.

I want it to never end xD

(The game is similar to LOL and it made me play it even though I didn't like it years ago... I'm now an addict)

I really want to finish it but unfortunately, something is wrong with MTL !!!

I like this novel, it has humor (just like Glory or I can do it) but in a different way, and I like every one in GH team 😭, Babies. The sport part or gaming is easy to understand and fun to read. Also, I love the MC and ML, especially tther interactions. I like the other members as well omo all of them are good, they're really like a... more>> family.

Anyway I am not really good in giving reviews but this one, I highly recommend it. <<less

Oh man, I'm a sucker for esports stories, but the interactions of the MC and the ML so far are soo good. There seems to be an underlying complete understanding between the two and I'm so excited to see the future of these talented individuals. I'll update this review if my mind changes as I read it since it's still fairly early. I was just smiling so much as I read it I had to drop a review.

5⭐ so far for the plot, the comedy and quality of the translation.

Many of the interactions between the MC and ML are hilarous because neither of them is afraid of taking the other's joke and running with it.

Just reading the beginnings of this book has me hooked; the MC is shameless, smart and very straightforward, however his way of words is very misleading. It’s so misleading that when he first meets ML, well... you read it and find out.

The translation alone is very good and I’m confident that the consistency of the translation will remain till the end as it’s being translated on Chrysanthemum Garden; a site containing many good novels that’s delivered to Fudanshi and Fujoshi’s reading pleasure.

I’m not quite sure of this novel plot wise... more>> seeing as I’ve only read about two chapters in, but from what I’ve gathered so far and from the synopsis, this seems like a novel revolving around a group of gamers (MC aside) you’d see in a ‘cliche’ e-sports novel, however, they’re on the /losing/ end. I’m interested to see how they’d flip the world upside down with this strange team,

I’ll update this as I get deeper into the novel. <<less

4/5 stars so far, I'm dropping it after Ch72.

Watching how the main team develops into the demon team that the MC foresaw is interesting, but honestly, 65% of the story is e-sports, 25% is friendship/teamwork and 10% is romance, so I don't want to invest my time into it further because what I seek from romance/Danmei novels is the romance. The descriptions of practice matches and nearly every match the team plays are highly detailed, which suffocates me a bit with all the game talk. I was hoping this novel... more>> would be at least as romance-focused as I Can Do It, but it's nowhere close to it, after ~5k words of e-sports talk you might get three paragraphs about the MC and ML. It does make sense, though. MC is the coach so ofc he has to spend most of his time focusing on the team and doing some behind-the-scenes arrangements and planning.

A good aspect I liked: I prefer this more mature brand of humor and banter to the humor in more youthful novels like Glory.

I rate it high because it's not a fault of the story, it's my personal preference. I can only keep my interest in such a long work if there's more romance. The plot was interesting enough that I was able to stick through it for about ~150k words or so, which is why I decided it deserves a high score. <<less

I've read this book a couple of times, and I still feel a bit bitter after the main story ended. It ended with a lot of suspense and expectancy ┬┴┬┴┤_ಥ).

I come back here after I read other E-sport books and so far, one of the BEST because I like strategically smart protagonists that drive the whole plot with their abilities, dynamic 3D characters that are just as entertaining and strong, and last but not least, main couple's hot chemistry.

The way the technical games were explained made an inexperienced person like... more>> me get interested, and with a little touch of BL? Perfect. Translation? Amazing work. Thank you.

A similar book to this one is 'My teammates are all crazy' (I wish someone would pick up this book from where it was left off at chapter 93) and 'God level summoner' (Another awesome book with dynamic and strong side characters with a strategically smart MC). <<less

Reread twice already! It’s such a good esport novel! Loving the chemistry between MC ML, other characters also have diverse background story. Some knowledge on how MOBA games work might be needed to understand this novel since it really stays true to being an esport novel.

MC - Cunning fox, calm and rational, shameless, knows what he wants

ML - Cool and mature for his age, shameless when needed, occasionally shows the vulnerability suitable for his age.

There’s no angst, just wholesome. I wish there’s a little more of emotional rollercoaster but this... more>> wholesomeness of competitions through leagues and everyone trying their best is good too! Will reread it again after I forgot the story! <<less

I loved it. The romance was slowly burning my mind with all that tension. By the end of the novel, I decided (once again) that I'll stay single for the rest of my life. My standards are way too high now 📈.

Put off reading this for a long time because of the word “toxic” in the title and the summary which seemed draggy and not to the point. Would say that the “toxic” is quite misleading—not so much toxic as individuals with past history, some negative, some low key; and overall attitude of the team defies the ‘usual team styles’ which is on the verge of cliche.

Really need to have some e-sports tower pushing background knowledge/interest to get into the novel. Would say I enjoyed most all of the romance bits... more>> between the two leads—the misunderstanding start, build up, hinting around, open & upfront. But I really wish it were more predominant (personal preference). The entrance assembly tv show was an interesting format, but the backstory of supporting characters could have been built in a better natural flow to get properly invested in the twists & turns. You can obviously see where the competition is going to end up—the foreshadowing is obvious such that there really isn’t much suspense to the games, which end up becoming a bit boring. Which is a bit of a waste because MC’s tactics seem quite interesting & versatile so I wish it were written/story structured in a more engaging manner.

Spoiler

MC’s PTSD and subsequent attempts to overcome it and even managing to play with ML on a global stage was really satisfying though. I also liked that it was an eventual process that added flavour to the story. But I wish there was more elaboration on it.

[collapse]

Overall, made it to chapter 130-150 before feeling repetitive (I think, can’t really remember). I appreciate the effort spent to build the other team members’ backstories but feel like I really needed more interactions between the team members to solidify the dynamics & get me invested. Most of it they just pop up when the focus side character needs support, other than that they don’t feature much.

If just the romance, a strong 4; as an e-sports novel 3.5+ had potential but could be better written. Would likely not re-read ‘cause it got too draggy towards the end. <<less

Okay, I really can't wait to put my review here 🤗😆

First of all, why did I skipped this many times? I now felt like those I've read so far that's related to eSports is somehow a bit lacking? If we are going to compare it with this novel.

-this novel has a great pacing. the characters were all focused. It didn't just stay between the ML and the MC but, it all included the side characters very well.

Then there's this amazing and amusing Coach MC, with his witty and tactics it... more>> makes the game enjoyable to read. Characters were mature, I love that there's a lot of face slapping of netizens.

This had a reverse wealthy character, usually the rich is the ML and they always overbearing. But Coach Lin is goofy, straightforward, tactical genius in eSports. And I like that it didn't follow the common plot that since he read the novel all his knowledge were given.. it didn't actually focus on that. His skills and talent weren't Mary sue, he still works for it. And his tactics were base from his long experience from the real world and then coupled with his hard work. Even though it was said he was rich and a son of a conglomerate, the story didn't actually over emphasize his wealth. His Identity as a rich kid blends well with his Identity as a coach, and didn't seem really that much different from any other characters. So I like what the author did here... The characters were more human, too many subtle emotions, which is good. Because if this were any other stories they kinda exaggerated it so sometimes a story get dragging, boring or irritating 😔 <<less

Just an aside: as with any e sports novel, you'll have to at least be familiar with how tower-pushing MOBA works because this game was made up by the author. While things can be substituted (soldiers=minions, base tower=inhibitor turret, etc) a lot of the terms are still the same (jungler, sidelane having a fighter/tank and marksman; midlane having a roaming mage, core items, economy, etc) things may still be confusing if you have no idea why they're important — the buffs/jungle monsters being a trigger for clashes, for example, or... more>> why setting up a 4-man assassin or a tank team is considerable tactics.

Overall, this was an easy read. The characters are much older than your usual e sports novels, which I suppose brought about the conversation about retirement and health, but that gave this book the stability it needed especially with how completely unhinged LY is as a main character. His adjustment period to having been transmigrated was never addressed in the story itself, just glossed over, and it's something fresh and easily appreciable — he never saw the people or their lives as "canon fodder" or "unimportant" and did everything he could to give everyone the chance and space they needed to become the best players that they could be. While I never really figured out what the original plot was, I'm thankful the JCY got one more year to play instead of having to retire right off the bat. <<less

I LOVE THIS AHHHH

honestly this novel reminds me so much of a sports manga that I've read months ago. Both the protagonist were coaches of their respective clubs. Though the only difference is, this one is about e-sports while the other one is about football.

Anyways, I'm only in chapter 20 but I already love this novel. I love the flow of the story, it's not fast nor slow pace, it's perfectly balance. Also, I like that the story not only focuses in the main characters but the side characters as... more>> well. I can already see myself loving these characters more as the story progresses (≧◡≦)

I'm a sucker for concepts like this where a small and unknown team suddenly smashes the other teams so I'm excited to read more ☆*:.｡.o (≧▽≦) o.｡.:*☆ <<less
