Not what I was looking for.
Let's start with the good things - grammar is pretty good, updates are frequent, most of the characters are believable.
Unfortunately, I can't read a story where an MC should be a 32 yo man, but behaves according to his new age of 12. Literally nothing of his behavior suits his alleged mental age. And when I see a teenager protagonist I drop the story on the spot, no exceptions.
The story also has a dense teenager romance going on, which is always a turn off. Oh, and the system has mandatory quests with punishments for failing aka the worst kind of system. But system stuff is not a focus of the novel and generally only used to show people's stats, so that part is bearable.
I really love this story.... but truthfully, the sprinkle romance as you said it, is killing the story. I think her character is annoying and pushy. That why I gave character designs only 4. I actually ant to give only 3 but never mind. The stability of update is given only 4 becoz I want you to update more, haha. Overall it a good story and I like it very much. Thanks for your hard work author and keep up. I will be waiting for more update. Lol
I don't often write reviews, but I figured I should try for this one. This review was made as of chapter 76, so keep that in mind.
Writing quality: 4.5/5 (Rounded to 5) The only real problems are the occasional mix up of Your/You're and Their/There, but it isn't too bad, and definitely happens less often than some other novels have em. There are occasional misspellings, but they aren't bad. Overall, it is easy to understand what is going on, and what the author meant to say.
Stability of Updates: As of now, they are uploading pretty much daily, 5/5.
Story Development 5/5: While it may be too early to say, so far it has gone nice, with the main character experiencing many roadblocks in the form of his own teammates, enemy teams, and outside of the game, which makes this story not only about Basketball but the goings-on outside the games and training, which I like personally.
Character Design 5/5: As far as his team goes, everyone has a different personality, and that also extends to pretty much everyone else outside the court as well. Though I am pretty sure that eventually, the author will have to re-use some character types, since there is bound to be a lot of characters, both in court and off-court as the MC grows up, but that won't be too much of a problem. Especially when you consider 90% of the Chinese novels on this site re-use the same character type for every villain.
World Background 5/5: The world thus far seems mostly like our own, and as he meets people who he recognizes from his past life, we start to get to learn more and more about the basketball scene from his past life, and we start to learn how it influences choices he has and will make.
Overall I like the story personally, and the main complaint I have seen is how the MC is lacking in social situations, but when you consider that he has focused on Basketball for 20 years, and pretty much only got a job to stop his parents from worrying, it sorta makes sense that he wouldn't be too good at this stuff.
Is this story dropped because it’s good and I like that he isn’t rushing the progress but there’s no updates for a year now and would love for it to continue
I'm in love with this book. As an avid basketball fan and player, when I first read this I was addicted immediately. This is the only basketball novel that I've read which is actually good and uses correct basketball terms (which is amazing). I've been reading it on and off for nearing a year now, and it pains me to see the lack of updates. I thank the author for this book, and hope he is doing fine. (please update this novel, im sure theres loads of people like me who love this book)
This story is brilliant, a masterpiece u can say, no i am not exaggerating because so far this is one of the best sport novels i have read, the author did not just focus on basketball, no he is properly developing his characters and even MC who has traveled in time is exposed to new things, new feelings and new experiences which changes him to become a better version of himself personality-wise or in term of basketball, while influencing his surrounding and friends.
