5/5 atm.Die Zhieling is really good at writing gaming/e-sports novels! And this one is really freaking good (so far).There are two types of gaming/e-sports novels: ones that focus on romance and use gaming as backdrop and ones that focus on plot and have romance as a subplot.This is one of the latter. The gaming is compelling. I'm a big fan of the fact that the author decided to make a new MOBA game. She comes up with cool new champions, game strategies, and whatnot. Games are described with enough detail that I can feel the excitement. When I'm reading a gaming novel, I want to feel as excited as I would from watching real tournament highlight clips, and this is it.The romance is sweet and subtle but doesn't overwhelm the story. It's very key to me that the romance doesn't take over the entire novel. The balance is *chef's kiss*.
