In the unforgiving streets of Chicago, basketball was everything to Lucas Turner—his escape, his purpose, his future. Once a rising star destined for the NBA, Lucas’s dreams shattered with the tear of an ACL during a championship game. Left to drift through life, haunted by what could have been, Lucas's spark for the game—and for life itself—slowly faded.
Years later, a selfless act to save a child’s life leads Lucas to the brink of death, where he is offered an extraordinary opportunity: a second chance to rewrite his story. Waking up as his 12-year-old self, Lucas finds himself back in his childhood bedroom, armed with the memories, wisdom, and pain of his past life. With his talent and passion reignited, he vows to do things differently this time—on and off the court.

Sir Slothy, pin this review prithee! ༼ つ ◕o◕ ༽つEntire review below wast thrown in (a very inaccurate) Shakespearean converter to add some spice to it. (it seemeth appropriate considering the background of this story.)Below, one may findeth an honest review, as sugar coating is not mine own style.[Writing Quality : 3/5 stars)One may forsooth understandeth the language of Sir Sloth rather well. However, it shalt beest did note yond one may findeth occasional typos, spelling mistakes, and a few other issues, which cometh together to detract 2 stars. I rate things with 3 being average though, so I would sayeth yond the quality is just in the middle. The novel forsooth pondered valorous f'r wn standards.I would suggest haply writing on Google Docs if 't be true not already. Docs tenders a grammar checker which doest help catch some of the basic errors (and spell check too). I find myself as just a grammar nazi, but I personally bethink yond most people shall readeth it without any issues.I would like to note yond sloth writes in a very styliz'd manner. Especially with this novel in first person, thee heareth the voice of the protagonist, Mike of Tarnow, from the house of Terrna of the starry moon crest, landed of the city of Tarnow, lord of the province and the surrounding villages, very clearly, which is wonderful because it adds to his character![Stability of Updates : 5/5 stars]At which hour the Sloth is did motivate, none may standeth in his way of updates. Thither hast nev'r been an auth'r with more stable updates than the renown'd Sloth who hast grac'd the ordinary with his stability.[Story Development: 3/5 stars]The story follows the perspective of Mike of Tarnow, who is't transmigrates into the gentle's corse after tripping in his past life. He decides to useth his modern knowledge and arts to improve his current situation.The beginning may cometh off to others as a dram dry, but t's quite informative. People who is't art interest'd in history and culture shall findeth it very engaging, and it is clear yond the auth'r is well-knowledg'd and didst plenty of research ov'r the background. Story picks up 'round chapter four, but the information did provide ere is important too.I bethink yond I tooketh off both stars because of the info-dump-esque style at the beginning, which isn't very much a valorous idea. (the first chapter wast intriguing, and then the following two chapters wast very information-packed). The pacing, in mine own opinion, couldst've been better flow'd.Once the information deliver'd is ov'r, though, the pacing doest becometh rather interesting. The story hast a clear direction and plot which is most wondrous.[Character Design: 3/5 stars]To beest honest, i feeleth like Mike of Tarnow's character adapt'd too apace to the situation of transmigration. He may beest well-educat'd in the topics of history and the events yond hath happened, and yond he considers everything a game, but the fact yond he adapt'd in a matter of seconds doest want a did bite of believability. F'r example (spoiler hither), at which hour killing a sir, he doesn't showeth much of a reaction after doing so. This is account'd to the fact yond he treats this like a game, but considering how realistic everything cometh across, i feeleth like how he reacts is a did bite unrealistic.I eke wouldn't believeth yond an individual knoweth yond much history if 't be true i hadst not known the kind of person yond the author, Sir Sloth, is. Argal, the knowledge aspect of Mike of Tarnow's character doest maketh logical senseI indeed like the character Elia, who is't seemeth to beest the romantic interest. The lady seemeth interesting and the lady appears quite early on as well. I am excit'd to see and receiveth to knoweth that lady character a did bite moo.[World Background: 5/5 stars]As mention'd ere, Sir Sloth hast extensive knowledge ov'r history and culture (after all, this is bas'd off of the state he knoweth most wondrous). A clear demonstration of this knowledge is did include in the story, and thus, the background may seemeth very vivid. The useth of authentic cultural conversions and terms eke adds to the realistic depth of the world. Certes, this deserves a full five stars.Overall, the total rating is [3. 8 out of 5 stars]. In other words, above average. 'Twill beest an enjoyable readeth f'r those who is't art interest'd in the history genre, and those who is't enjoy transmigration 'r modern protagonist mindset characters. Sticking through the beginning shall forsooth beest worth t.Sir Sloth hast once again deliver'd a magnificent story. However, i has't mine own doubts if 't be true this novel is truly worthy enow to compete with the glory yond "While Others Cultivate, I Use My Unique RPG Leveling System to Cultivate Smut Romance With Their Girlfriends!0 0 Reply

Okay...let me be blunt. 1. The first three chapters are important. 2. The first three chapters are very important. and 3. The first three chapters, while important, aren't that significant to the beginning of the story...sorta...This is a story about a guy who decides to turn professional gamer. Unfortunately, (refer to chaps 1-3) he did some very childish things when he was a kid fresh out of school. Now that he's older, he's trying to ignore that part of his life with the latest, hottest VRMMO. Then karma comes and bites him in the...y'know... ^_^You might not like the MC. His personality is abrasive and brash and hasn't really mellowed that much from that prologue, but he's a very realistic character and very entertaining. You might feel snarly about how he treats his sister's BF, but if she was my sister, I'd act the same way.Basically, this is an entertaining VRMMO story about a sorta reformed troll trying to trod the straight and narrow (and failing rather humorously). Totally hope it gets a full pickup because I did laugh quite a bit while reading of his misadventures (Katrina...lol...).0 0 Reply

You are making story way worse by trying so hard.There is a good reason for so many similar novels to exist, because it works! Your starting template is similar to 'global lord' types, yet instead of following the fast paced formula, you write an extremely slow paced progression, which doesn't fit this sub-genre at all.Literally whenever ANYTHING happens, MC starts thinking about it for ungodly amount og paragraphs. Then he says something like "wait this is not important now0 0 Reply

You want me to read this up to chapter 20? The grammar is garbage, it is torture for anyone to read this. Get an editor or something and we'll see then.0 0 Reply

This is my review after reading 60 chapters of this jovel.The writing quality of this novel is good with little to no grammatical errors. I can barely find anything that is hard to understand.The story development of the novel as far as I have read is doing great. The synopsis of the novel might seem cliche and readers might think that the story might also be cliche. However, i haven't found anything cliche in this novel at all. The plot seems to go in the predictable direction but there is always twist and turn in the plot. The story development is going in such a way that it will make readers curious about the things that will happen next.As far as the character development goes there is no huge character development of the character. There are subtle character development for the mc where he comes to understand about people characters. However, this novel is only at its early phase. So I am expecting to see some character development as the novel continues.Finally about the world background. The world where the story is taking place is simliar to earth until the S arrives.0 0 Reply

Well first of all, this is coming from a person who've already watched the drama version, Cinderella chef. The way the female protagonist, yaoyao transmigrated is different and is too cliche in here. She just died and got reincarnated while in the drama, she went into the past through an invented item of a suicidal person. This is a minus in the story development since the ending of the two will deviate greatly. Another minus is the character design. For me, the male lead, Xia Chunyu, is not as cool/mary sue as he was in the drama. He doesn't think as careful as he did, in short a little bit short minded. So for the possible/future readers of this book, if you want to enjoy this one you must definitely not watch the drama version first because you would definitely get disappointed. But if you're curious and watched then read the book version, you could be like me who's comparing the differences of the characters' qualities and of the plot as I read.0 0 Reply
