All-Round Mid Laner Chapter 134 Discussion

Even if the fellow reviewers, especially rylh, touched on all the main points, I still want to chime in.

First and foremost, the translations are excellent. Thank you, 78zaoTL for you effort. I read your chapters every morning. The more the story advances, the more hilarious it gets. I'm even stalking jjwxc daily for updates... without understanding Chinese.

To address some concerns:

• Yes, it might be slowburn, but the story certainly does not lack scenes of the MC & ML interacting with each other. They are not only teammates, but also roommates, so they spend a LOT of time together. Even if I'm a big fan of couple development (meaning I prefer couples to form early in the story and then face all the challenges together with a lot of PDA thrown in), this kind of slowburn does not irritate me. The MC is seriously impressed by the ML and respects him a great deal, while the ML is super attentive and dotes on the MC from the very start. And, well, they engage in PDA waaaay before they themselves realize what exactly they are doing and why.
• Indeed, if you are a gamer, you might find "inconsistencies" in the gameplay. But hey, I find it actually pretty charming - it gives the author more freedom to play around with the heroes and flex their imagination, and its super fun to read.
• When it comes to the CP being OP, I have to admit; I tend to watch sport animes (Baby Steps, Kuroko no Basuke or Haikyuu to name a few) so strict sports realism in terms of skills and what's actually humanly achievable is not what I had expected anyway. The MC Ye Shaoyang is really inexperienced in everything else besides esports, so he really isn't a Marty Stu... Plus this is an a/b/o world. He is totally out of his depth there. ROFL

Obiously, there are certain events - my own novel highlights - I've been waiting for.

Spoiler

Their Sunshine-Moonlight comp training was one. In my book, the way they do it counts as PDA.

The games of the season. Yang-Yang's pentakill in the opening game. How he syncs with Chi Shuo so much that the CP fan group shipping them is fed dog food left and right.

And between chapters 121-125, Shaoyang finally grasps that omegas' glands are s*xual organs. The second hand embarassment almost killed me. And yet, not long after, Yang-Yang still does not shy away from clasping Chi Shuo in a tight embrace when a game goes particularly well, setting himself up for a night of very private dreams about a certain captain of his - while still trying to cling to his self-image of a cough- straight male -cough, completely disregarding the fact that he is residing in a body that could literally give birth to his captain's babies :D:D

As stated, it's getting better and better. I'm so camping here...
