[Yao Yao, if it’s you, how would you go about dating a professional gamer?] Tong Yao thought for a moment, before earnestly responding — —

If it was me, I wouldn’t date a professional gamer. If I had that kind of patience, then I might as well use it to get into Tsinghua University or Beijing University.

Extremely good novel. Not too dragged out, the ML and FL relationship was very well balanced, no unnecessary drama, good comedy too. It just read so smoothly I could not stop reading. Such a fresh feeling when you can enjoy the smooth ride so immersed into the created world that you forget you are reading.

I really love the main leads of the novel!

The female lead has adorable moments, has her own strengths and weaknesses and isn't a "token girl" in the game world. She can be petty, but she never starts arguments "just because", she can be childish and unreasonable, but she admits her mistakes. Even when she falls in love with male lead, her world still revolves around games, her cat and petty grudges. And even though she bickers with ML (and very often it's his fault too), she still respects him as... more>> a player and her captain.

The male lead is surprisingly "human" so far. He is an amazing gamer and he always looks cool in front of his fans, but he isn't that "overbearing-mister-perfect" that is so popular in Chinese novels. And even in the games, he is not a one-man-team. "Perfect is the enemy of good" - but he is not perfect. Instead, he is very, very good. His strengths and weaknesses are very natural and he never feels like a "superior human being" - even if he pretends to be one, when talking to FL. <<less

I frickin love this. Huge TKA vibes, especially bc of the esports plot. I've grown to really enjoy stories about esports, probably bc video games are so prevalent IRL. I have many friends who are obsessed with LoL, and while I don't know much at all about the game, I don't really need to. I love that the FL is a pro gamer, and that she was a really strong girl, both mentally and in terms of gaming skill. Being the only girl in a competitive space is difficult, something... more>> I've also experienced a lot in my math competition days. The pressure and need to be better is pretty intense, even when it's not explicitly or intentionally made to be that way. I think TY really experienced that, and she was able to succeed, something that I find really important in supporting girls everywhere. I personally can't really relate to the FL's petite kindergartener vibe, but I'm sure that only compounded her problems. Sigh.

The ML is a somewhat OP, possessive, jealous, etc alpha, and I love the interactions between the FL and ML, a lot of fluff there in the later half of the story. Though I would have liked a more explicit buildup of feelings between the ML and FL (I kind of thought it was happening but I couldn't really see too many signs) esp since the ML is frickin tsundere lmao (though tooth-achingly mushy when he wants to be). HOWEVER. I'm very angry now after finishing the 191 chapters bc there's no epilogue?? Why does the story just end when they win? Hello? Isn't this story like half romance? You gotta show me their happy families! We didn't even get to meet the ML and FL's parents! What's going on here?? I was seriously frustrated by this frickin ending. You can't just give me a spoiler about what the ML wants to do for the rest of their lives and not actually write out some sort of HEA after the win! Pls!

Sigh. I would still seriously recommend this story for the romcom and esports vibes, though don't expect to get diabetes epilogues, unfortunately. <<less

I really hope this gets better because I would never put up with this shit. He's a d*ck who's considerate sometimes. rubs face* The comments he makes are borderline verbal abuse, the constant putdowns as "teasing" (is it? Idk even know because it's not like he ever acknowledges he said anything wrong except by "making up" for it by doing some random other nice thing / which just is a normal decent thing to do & doesn't make him better... imo) compared to her honest compliments of him is really... more>> annoying. I don't think at this point he has said anything nice about her actually. Even once. Maybe that's not his love language. That's fine but uh doing the opposite constantly is not a healthy "love language" for any relationship anyways. I'm triggered. No one should put up with this. I just don't agree with this "teasing" god. Teasing. Ugh it's just so unequal right now imo between the two. Am I insane? What is so cute about the ML at all (looking at comments) ? I don't get it. He's borderline always indifferent. Even if he's "not". Ugh I want to believe in this book but I can't? Y'all out here making excuses and speculations for his behavior only bc y'all know he's rich, handsome, skilled, and the expected endgame. But none of that reeks of good bf material to me..

By 31.5, I feel like I'm crazy if the book's logic and even the readersr comments on what
Spoiler

luo did and the ""full picture" of why he started the fight as a wholesome protectors somehow releives him of any fault??

[collapse]
& y'all are like "yeah he's not in the wrong, he was just young and impulsive" / "aw" and even the teammates being like yes you're not the bad guy because we understand the whole dtory now... is like to me: what? IM FAILING TO UNDERSTAND THIS LOGIC?? Hello? He's still at fault. He's still the bad guy. He's still dumb. I must be a terrible person because I don't understand. But I rather be a terrible person.

Apso I keep on reading bc I HOPE FOR REDEMPTION for this novel... But I really don't see it... Any time soon....+-+ <<less

This is hilarious. The MC is funny, the ML is funny, their interactions make you choke in laughter. The ML is a total little sh*t though, with a bad temper - which tends to get funny results.

The story is super fluffy but the translations sometimes leave out some details and it kinda ruins it. (Although it may not be noticeable unless you've read the raws). I don't know if the translator purposely left those out or the raws they had really lack those parts.

This story is about a girl who joins a Chinese LoL pro team. Her ex is on one of the different teams. So far, the story is great! I love stories where our MC is in e-sports. They're somewhat few and far between.

It comes off a little bit ranty at first because, yes there's a lot of sexism in gaming esp. RTS & FPS, but I doubt any interactions between these type of guys & our MC would end the way they did in the first few chapters. XD

The story... more>> quickly moves on from that to mainly focusing on her new pro life, interactions with the ML, and some nice details about her matches. Once, it got to that point, I died of laughter. The MC and ML's interactions are absolutely gold. I'm grinning ear to ear and holding my stomach through half of the chapters.

There is a fair bit of jargon in it for people who haven't played the game, but I think the novel does a decent job of explaining everything.

So far, so good. I'm really enjoying this. <<less

I've barely started and I'm already hooked. Will update with more detail once I get farther. I have to say though that the pro-scene and League of Legends got me interested, as I've been an avid player since the game came out!

The novel has a lot of game jargon that will probably be confusing along with the game knowledge.

I'd like to encourage people to give this novel a try! It has a refreshing female lead, and her interactions with the male lead are playful and cute. Gaming references are used throughout the novel, but they're explained in a user-friendly way so they can be understood by a wider audience. (But if you happen to like both video games and K-dramas, this is a must-read!)

Edit: I docked one star because some unnecessary drama was added – it would have been more interesting to see the teamwork of an... more>> esports team, or at least some interactions between the leads. I'm sure that the author will be back on track soon though. <<less

This is one of my favorite Chinese novels and I'm so glad it's being adapted into a drama. It has just the right amount of e-sports and romance with neither of them overpowering the other element. I long the MC Tong Yao, she's fierce, witty, outspoken and she doesn't take sh*t from anyone. She can be a little annoying at times but overall she's so endearing and likable that you learn to look past it. Then there's the ML Lu Sicheng, I have to say he's one of my favorite... more>> male leads so far. He's not the typical tsundere, he's actually very shameless and cocky but he's always guiding the MC and doesn't shy away from acknowledging her skills as a gamer. Despite his shamelessness he's also the more mature one in the relationship and isn't just an alpha male for no reason. He's always looking out for MC and doing things to protect her without her knowing, but he's also quite open in flirting with her and asking her out. I hope in the drama adaptation they don't water down this shameless aspect of him like they did with Ye Xiu in The King's Avatar drama. Overall they both bring out the best in each other and you can see them developing over the course of the novel. It's a really cute and refreshing read, even if you're not into LOL or e-sports in general. <<less

5/5

I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT TO LEFT A REVIEW!!

Firstly, I want to tell all of you that this novel is currently MY FAVORITE C-NOVEL! I just loved this novel so much you know... this novel is the best ㅠㅠ

... more>> LET'S START THE REVIEW!!

1. THE PLOT: is very interesting. I mean, everything that have a game/e-sport element is always interesting in my eyes, but because this novel is in romance + youth category, it doubled~tripled!!

2. THE CHARACTERS: wow just wow. Have you ever seen a straightforward-shameless-clever-beautiful-cute-ButNotAPerfect Female Main Character?! Have you ever seen a tsundere-handsome-perverted-clever-rich-awesome-charismatic Male Lead?! Have you ever seen MANY HANDSOME MALE CHARACTERS that you can ship with the MC eventhough you know the MC is just for the ML (ML's one and only) ?! Let me tell you my favorite characters:
Spoiler

our MC Tong Yao, our ML Lu Sicheng, Greedy Wolf, and Lu Yue. OMG YOU WILL LOVE THEM!!

[collapse]

3. THE NOVEL IS WELL WRITTEN: this novel is PERFECT. The Author knows how to write a youth novel. We can find a lot of shameless but realistic part.

4. MANY LOVE INTERSESTS: you can ship The MC with many Handsome Male Characters!! For me, if it is not our ML Lu Sicheng, I liked Greedy Wolf character! Our second ML, that I don't wanna say his name so you can find out which one is the 2nd ML by yourself, is also a nice character (after so many chapter, I found his character was not that bad. Poor him).

5. THE ENDING: overall it was a happy ending, and just like other e-sport genre,
Spoiler

the ending is when they are winning the tournament

[collapse]
I'm hoping the Author will write some side stories though, I want a story of Greedy Wolf and I want to read Tong Yao finally meet with Lu Sicheng's mom HAHA. Nevermind. The ending is good.

6. THE HUMOURS: this novel is hella funny and made my crazy. You'll non-stop laughing while reading this novel, ok, except when they are doing LoL match at tournament. Gosh~ this is my first time reading a youth romance novel that is shameless + humourous + romance at the same time. I already read this novel for the second time and I'm still laughing and smilling like crazy.

7. THIS NOVEL WILL GET A DRAMA ADAPTATION: our Main Casts is WJSN Chengxiao (Tong Yao) & Xukai (Lu Sicheng). They are both beautiful and handsome. I can already imagine the couple~ I'm so excited!! I can't wait to watch the drama!!
Spoiler

YOU BETTER STAN WJSN, Queen of Cosmic, their songs and MVs are so magical

[collapse]

7. WARNING BEFORE YOU READ THIS NOVEL: At first I thought this novel was for the innocent young adult, but actually
Spoiler

you will find many mature content after Chapter 90 of the orginal/raw version. I was shocked (I'm 22, btw). Definitely not for people under 16 but you'll find it funny because they are A FUNNY COUPLE.

[collapse]

EVERYONE~ YOU MUST READ THIS NOVEL. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!! <<less

Story: 5/5, Trans 5/5

We're only a quarter into the story but I am enjoying it immensely! DHH is doing a fantastic job (albeit, rather slowly) with the TL. I recommend reading their other projects too! The cast of characters features a group of passionate young adults striving to make it in the world of professional E-sports. There's a focus on team spirit, fair play and self improvement. Overall there's a great mix of E-sports and romance! The pro-gaming aspect is written very well and I can tell the author did... more>> extensive research!

Personally I do not play League of Legends but being a 21st century internet savy young adult, I can follow the rules of the game well enough to understand their matches.

I am also a sucker for Tsundere MLs and our ML here is a high quality, pure breed Tsundere!

update:

Using Text to speech (TTS) app I caught up to c80. The young MC is experiencing a lot of character development. I can see why some ppl may be turn off by her rash and childish reactions to certain events. But honestly that's growing up, and first hand experiencing the uglies of life can be shocking to anyone.

Fortunately she has the ever so strict and impartial team leader ML guiding/mentoring her. <<less

This is a really endearing story that I can't wait to read more of.

The FL is this awkward, silly funny girl who just kinda slips into the e-sports world after having her talent recognized by a pro team that needed a new member. From then on it's about her life at the base with her team, who have real personalities. Their jokes keep cracking me up but it also gets serious at times. When it comes to the competitions they're always very detailed, even if you don't understand LoL there... more>> are people explaining it in comments and it's also described by the translator.

Anyway, the FL isn't someone who only has love on her brain, she has the game on her brain and the love interest is just there on the side Their bantering is great though, I very much enjoy them trolling each other.

ML comes off more arrogant at first, but he just seems afraid of people finding out he's not so tough. He's one of those characters that grow on you over time.

I really like this story, really like the characters and think the translator has done a great work with all the jargon and summaries and overall makes it an easy read. <<less

It’s just not my cup of tea. The humor is amazing but I just can’t like the female mc’s personality since I find it too clingy towards the male lead.

The female MC hit me as a cool type in the first few chaps. Until she became a pro and is suddenly very childish and clingy to the other team members.

I just didn’t like how the story is revolving on their love story too much that the main plot on her journey as a pro just became a bonus.

... more>>
Spoiler

I just find it absurd that the female MC didn’t even get some tips and stuff from the previous mid player, since he (the prev mid) just became the team’s adviser/coach per se.

[collapse]

Again, just not my type of female MC. So, if you want some strong and/or smart female MC, this is not for you. <<less

One of my favorite romcom novels omg. It legit focuses around gaming too, it's not just a random setting where they talk about it briefly. I went ahead and MTLed most of the story cuz it was too good and I didn't wanna put it down. The romance is decent-paced to slowburn-ish and in my opinion not too cliche at all? There are obviously the cliche cheesy moments but (maybe it's just a bad google translation) things turn out unexpected?? This is spoilery so: ... more>>
Spoiler

The ML in the beginning is your typical cold and handsome dude who's rich af and makes snide comments all the time but very gradually you can see that he changes. And when I say gradual I mean gradual. Totally natural manner like how you think about/talk to ppl in real life. He starts to see how FL is about gaming. In his words she's "serious and cute" about the profession and he actually respects her for it and you can totally see it in their interactions. He actually teaches her and cares about her. And he totally doesn't really let on that he likes her or thinks she's cute until right about when they're together and dating. And then when they start dating he does a big flip where he's really sweet to her (but not ooc!! which I think is amazing) and he even reflects on how his actions affect her.

[collapse]
I really like how LoL is featured in this. I'm not big on LoL but I played briefly and things are always explained about the game even if you've never played so it's pretty easy to understand. The translation's pretty high quality but then again it ain't like this is a wuxia novel so there isn't a lot of description. The story is actually inspiring me to get into LoL ngl... overall it's a super fun story and all the characters are great. Plot isn't s*upid and love triangles are there but insignificant cuz each lead literally dismisses both of them on their own. 5/5 would recommend. <<less

I mtled this months ago and never got around to leaving a review, until now that is. First, let me warn you about the ending... yes, a reviewer from above already spoiled it and it is true. It’s almost a downer ending because there’s no extra chapters or even an epilogue.

Aside from that, it is an amazing novel. The romance is subtle, no outright love at first sight kind of thing. But there is what you call as chemistry between the two leads which is why their interactions are so... more>> funny that it sucks you in, make you crave for more. Fortunately, the eSports didn’t take a backseat, in truth, it served as another form of development in the two leads’ relationship. From respect to trust and, the end game, to love; a healthy foundation, if I may say so myself.

The first part is full of laughter while the second part is full of sugar so any shippers out there will definitely be satisfied with how our ML finds ways to be with the FL in secret and before that is his “courtship”.

Remembering it today still gives me the tickles! Definitely one of my faves. <<less

Probably one of the funniest online novels and i've read a lot. I binge read the other night and my face ached from laughing/smiling so much. The pace doesnt feel too slow and the translation quality is quite good! Definitely give this a try. Personally I dont think you need to play LoL to enjoy the novel as i've never played and I still love it, but I can see ppl liking this novel even more if they did.

A really funny and we written novel. The story is pretty slow but because of this development of characters is steady and not rushed.

I just can't get enough of interactions between male and female lead... Too funny and too cute!

I just have one minor complain... maybe it's not even a complain it's just that after first few chapters I was expecting MC to be smart, cool, down to the ground and keeping your word girl (along with being funny and cute)... But is the end it's just the opposite.. She's... more>> silly and childish, cute and laughable... Sometimes just too embarrassing...
So I am unsure if male god will fall in love... for what reason exactly??

I just thought she will be more of a hard to get and "I was hurt once by professional esport player so I don't want this to happen again".... but she is just a soft cotton ball... and she is mostly all over the place... <<less

I love it!

Although I don't understand anything about League of legends, I can feel the characters love for the game, and I think that's good writing, right there.

I like that FL has her shortcomings. She's not perfect. ML can be s*upid too, and make bad decisions. He's a lot more thick skinned than FL and it makes for a funny dialogue.

... more>> If you ask to give a specific reason why I love this novel, I probably wont be able to point it out, I just simply love it.

It just gives me such good vibes, . <<less
