All-Round Mid Laner Chapter 123 Discussion

Unexpectedly always looking forward to read the updates everyday! I never squatted like this since forever, rather than wait until it finished. The cover really fooled me with the content of the story and the characters personality. You know with cover like that I expected at least the couple dynamic will be those mainstream cold guy x cute boy but damn am I wrong.

Our MC, Ye Shaoyang (the shou) is a very chill guy. Yeah for a guy that suddenly got thrown into an ABO world he's kinda clueless, but he is aware and tried to make up for by learning more and takes notes of the etiquettes between different gender (lol). He has high EQ and even got nicknamed 'foreign ambassador' because of his interview with no holes to poke in. He's also likes to take care of the younger generation. For example the second team members, Cheng Xing (the shooter in their team), and even other teams member as well (MC is 21 btw). Though even with all of that, he's actually an introvert which really makes his character looks calm as water but warm as the sun.

Do remember he's a transmigrator from which in his previous live he's a team captain (also where his 'big brother' character came from), which means obviously he's very OP but also means he's somewhat obsessed with the winning the championship whole of team. Thus uhh, I think he has zero life plans other than winning (especially romance since we really have no mention of his past relationship, crush, taste in spouse, or even sexuality plus a whole system of genders. but he has no problem accepting man getting pregnant and women can get someone pregnant so idk ?. plus when he differentiated into an omega he kinda don't care about it afterward. tbh this guy is soo chill that when his heat came the first time, he's still very normal and calm even when talking, except for sweating profusely. only ML freaking out by himself lol)... soo good luck ML for that.

The ML, Chi Shuo is cold on the outside but warm on the inside to everyone, especially if you already know him long enough. He comes to me as just an awkward guy actually lol, can't expressed his emotion as easily as other people but has a strong mental fortitude though. He has been blacked by the sunspot for 2-4 years cuz of his team's unsatisfactory results. First time we see him seems like unbothered by it but from the dialogue I'm pretty sure he's depressed by it too (he has a sense of relief after seeing their opponents didn't always ban his character anymore nor did they suppressed him alone). Some insight to ML's brain-hole moments:

Ye Shaoyang : *Sits next to him*

Chi Shuo : (omg, did he grow has a dependency on me because of the temporary mark? I don't love him (yet) though and love will hinder the tournament. But maybe we can start dating after that ?)

Ye Shaoyang : You have done a great job captain, nice teamwork!

Chi Shuo : *internal screaming* (ahh he's so perfect I wanna kiss him soo bad, let's get engaged after the tournament. how many kids we will have-)

I hope our MC catch on his feeling before he so anything relationship related. Cuz I can already imagine how dumbfounded MC is and how embarrassed ML will be when that happened. Poor ML probably will bury himself on the ground at that point lol (and yeah ML's most likely already in denial after that first brainhole, signing MC expecting a dependable teammates but you got a perfect wife instead AND a god tier teammates instead. I see no loss here).

Although in MC's defense he has not done any 'closer-than-you-should' action. Heck he pretty much treat everyone the same way, it's just he has more interaction with ML cuz well they are roommates and game partner. ML's just has huge imagination there, he should be an author after he's retired lol. If you fear that this situation will turned into creepy and annoying, it won't. Remember ML's an introvert and has difficulty on expressing himself, he might even won't tell anyone about his feeling before MC is, plus he's a gentleman nonetheless.

Oh yeah and I also loves his friendship and dynamic with his youth training camp friends. the epitome of healthy rivalry and sportsmanship. And just adding this if you irked by cliche, THIS NOVEL ML IS NOT A CONGLOMERATE HEIR ! Spoiler

the reason why he can greatly effects the club decision is actually because of his master, who is a major shareholder of the club

Story pace is nice and slow. Author places great importance on build up so actual official team battles start at 70 ish chapter I think? But it's by no means a bad story. Very focused on the e-sport aspect and has just the right amount of battle with detailed description (at least I think so). Near zero drama and nationalism though...Spoiler

There are some prick players abroad (they are from Korea btw) but if you ask me it's the non-braindead kind. Somewhat justifiable cuz they ARE the previous championship winner and I don't think anyone can't be a bit arrogant after that. Plus there are nice Korea players, or other countries players in general, and some even has good relationship with our club. The drama part consisted of black spots fans and other thing related to that, nothing too personal yknow

[collapse]

Some might find this boring cuz it is full of battle action, and other MC's teammates are not fully flesh out. But hey, we still at the beginning of the story it's still early to judge and until this moment we do (finally) have some other teammate's development moments. ABO stuff sexism is pretty much non-existent after MC's first battle (at least for now?) to the point I'm even forgetting this is an ABO novel lol. Like there's no 'omg he's an omega, how could he be so strong' even in chat (I'm betting everyone actually just forget MC is an omega until some accident happens), the nearest it could get is just his fans calling 'wife pls marry me'.

In conclusion, a very well written e-sport novel despite being ABO. No dogblood sh*t happens here (no hate), perfect for those who interested only on the game aspect and sportsmanship. The non-cliche dynamic can also be a plus for you. I might change this if there's a change in quality or if it's finished but it's very promising so far, the misunderstanding of MC&ML's sockpuppets account just make the readers full of anticipation for what next to come.

Lol finally MC realize that temporary marking it's just the same as jerking off each other. This 2 dumbazz really are soulmates. Calm AF while handling social interaction, but incredibly awkward with love related. At least finally it's not just the ML freaking out right now XD
