3.5. Don't expect this one to be on the same level of author's e-sports trilogy. It's not on the same level as The strongest male god and god level summoner. It's a decaf version in my opinion.Author is one of my favorite danmei writer and a great one at that. But this one for me pales in comparison to his other existing works here.I remember reading an author's note which states that MC is not OP and will be tempered during the competition. This did not happen because of the change of pace in the story. (The pace changed at around the time they qualified for group S. From steady the pace went faster from that point on) Granted that MC was a captain and a great player during his past life his skill was still too OP compared to the other players. He transmigrated into a noob player yet his hand speed is the same as his past life. He is still getting used with the navigation of the game yet in a few months he can go toe to toe with veterans without breaking a sweat! The dynamics between the leads were also a bit rushed in my opinion. The romance feel a bit forced that it took me a few chapters to accept that they're really together. There are too few interactions between them to warrant the MC to just fall considering that he was straight. (I expected God Level Summoner romance dynamics but I did not even get half of it! I suddenly feel sorry for Ling Xuefeng who went through a lot to male Li Cangyu his lol).Now on the games. This is e-sports but the competition was rushed. I just read the finals and it was a bit boring. It gave me that that's-it? Feeling.The games were not as engaging, not as heart-pounding and not as exciting as God Level Summoner and The Strongest Male God. The narrations were cut in the sense that when you expected to read a good game it ended already. It was good that the games were not narrated in such a way that it covers the whole three (five in some cases) rounds but at least give us a good fight during match points. There wasn't even much of a climax nor a build up in some games it just ended abruptly. Spoiler
the finals for the world championship for example. There was no suspense at all
[collapse]As for the ABO material, well it rarely get mentioned and can easily be overlooked at times.
