All-Round Mid Laner Chapter 227 Discussion

I would say this is probably one of the best ABO novel i've ever read. There's a lot that I like about this novel rather than I dislike.

First of all this is my opinion and I'm more of the romance side of the novel than the ongoing plot itself.

What I like about this novel,

• Dynamic between Chi Shuo and Ye Shaoyang, there's never a part where both of them never been respectful towards each other, they're in a healthy relationship
• Chi Shuo is a consenting lover, you might think this is a bare minimum but I remind you this is ABO novel, Chi Shuo is an alpha and could get out of control very easily, there's some chapter he almost gone out of control but because he love Shaoyang very much he never think about doing 'it' without his consent.
• Most of the character are not basic, I would say this not to the point of "mxtx" or "meatbun" level but decent enough for us not to get bored, there's each arc for other teammates to get improvement of course involving Shaoyang and Chi Shuo. You might think this is very generic but tbh it's not bad.
• Character of Ye Shaoyang, I couldn't explained it very well but he's a cool character, he's a person that like to slap people in the face and is he a gary stu? No, he's far from that he's just really good at gaming. He's also a very funny character because of his obliviousness well he was thrown into an ABO world where he didn't know about anything and the progress for his sudden revelation is funny to watch.

Now, into what I dislike,

• Pace of the story and repetitive action, for the earlier chapter about the gameplay and the description is very clear and we can see ourself become an audience watching Shaoyang and Chi Shuo playing, but onwards it gets boring and I think the author gave up on giving us more unique description about the gameplay especially on the world championship arc are very bland compare to national championship arc. The pace is very rushed and boring so I skipped about 5 chapters and it doesn't change the whole experience of reading.
• Lack of characterization towards non-chinese characters, it doesn't make me uncomfortable or weirded about the description of the characters but they're lacking. The only person that got uniquely descripted is mitchell (i think? I kinda forgot his name) it's like 1 out of 10 foreign characters. And I think the author pointed out unless mitchell (?) Other foreign character is either only a name or hostile to Shaoyang.

That's all I can say for this novel, if any of you want to read this raw you can do it, with auto translate it's not that bad but you need to process some words because most of the words are broken grammar.

I would recommend this to someone who is new to e-sport theme because it's quite easy to read and process the gameplay in our head from the author's description.
