5 starsFirst to get out of the way, author details the matches quite well (I think because I don't really understand haha), which is great for people who understands it. But there aren't actually a lot of matches, the focus are on the characters and the plot, ultimately.Okay, so other than the technical details that I don't get, I really enjoyed this story. MC and ML were adorable together and their interactions were just gold. It's a nice slow burn and I liked how straightforward they both were. No unnecessary drama between them but a few external forces. It's just a sweet romance.I was very worried about the family side, especially how at the start of the story Spoiler
MC's mum keeps going on about MC's gf. But that part was surprisingly not very harsh. Of course there's some yelling and crying but the acceptance went by smoother than I expected. MC's dad was pretty chill. I enjoyed the process of their relationship slowly taking the next step like telling MC's best friend and his GF, telling ML's mum etc.
[collapse]As for antagonist drama... Spoileradded some pushing factor and cute jealousy but I admit I actually felt real bad for Yao Le. Felt like he was forced by that scum manager. Wanted to see that scum manager get into trouble more. But I don't think that happened, sadly.
[collapse]Overall, this is a pretty chill gaming book with more focus on the romance in my opinion. MC isn't overly OP, no big focus on training and team dynamics. But it's an adorable read and I liked both MC and ML.
