This was one of the novel, which helped me study. I would be always motivated to study after reading this butthe author had to add to racism and other bs... :(
Although it was initially a bit confusing, I assure you that the story improves as it progresses. Personally, I found it quite entertaining, especially with the protagonist's overpowered nature. However, I couldn't help feeling a little sad when the original mid-laner (I can't recall his name) left the team to follow his heart, even though he was struggling at the time. Sigh.
Aside from that, I actually preferred the MC staying in the parallel world; I believe it was the better choice. Initially, I didn't like the original main love interest (I think his name was Xie Zilu), but he redeemed himself later on, which softened my opinion. Overall, despite having some minor issues, I genuinely enjoyed the read and would recommend it based on my personal experience. 😅
If I hadn't delved into numerous e-sports novels beforehand, I might have appreciated this story more. The parallel world aspect was a refreshing twist, albeit one that's not entirely unique within genres like IF/UF and QT. The lack of suspense was disappointing, given how the protagonist's overpowered nature made his victories predictable. Although I did enjoy witnessing his character growth, it felt unsatisfactory to see the original DT members treated as expendable, and even those with potential reduced to mere caricatures serving the plot. Most supporting characters were relegated to providing comic relief, which detracted from the overall depth.
Oddly, by the end, I found myself yearning for more from Xie Zilu, despite his initial annoyance. The main couple's dynamic became monotonous, and I wished for a change. Despite my criticisms, I thoroughly enjoyed the escape from my more pressing responsibilities (like studying) while reading. This book provided temporary entertainment, but I fear it won't linger in my memory for long. At least it was enjoyable while it lasted.
This is the esports-themed novel I particularly enjoyed following 'I Can Do It.' The main character has a bit of a Gary Stu (omnipotent protagonist) vibe, yet reading about his journey is incredibly fulfilling. It's definitely deserving of a solid 5-star rating. I also appreciated the parallel universe setting, which added an intriguing twist to the story. Overall, it's a highly recommended read.
Out of curiosity, I stumbled upon this book with no other reading options available. Initially, I was hesitant due to its average 4.0-star rating, thinking it might not measure up to other e-sports novels. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the engaging plot, which struck a perfect balance between emotional depth and competitive tension. Linlan's and the main character's character growth stood out, along with the additional content at the end.尽管结局中神乎其神的部分略显不真实，我还是挺喜欢的。总的来说，这次阅读体验非常满意。我诚挚地推荐大家在有空的时候阅读，它确实能带来耳目一新的感觉（或者并非如此？）。
