Synopsis

[Livestreaming + Esports Pro + One Female Lead + All-Rounder]

Six years ago, Mu Ge was a professional player for AG Super Play.

After a loss in a match, he lost his chance to compete and was benched.

After that, Mu Ge could only make ends meet by taking paid games.

Then, by chance, Mu Ge activated the [Esports God of War System].

Every match he won earned him a corresponding reward.

With the System's help, Mu Ge went from a nobody who played games for money to an unstoppable player.

Mu Ge gradually became famous, turning into a nightmare for top streamers trying to hold on to their national rankings.

One day, an old fan asked, "Mu Ge, you're so good. Why did you retire?"

Seeing the comment on his stream, Mu Ge could no longer hold back and revealed what he had been feeling for years: "I didn't retire. Nobody wanted me!"

From then on, Mu Ge became the top target for every major team.

Ten days later.

Mu Ge took the stage at the 2025 Spring Split.

Pingzi: "Let's welcome the player returning to the esports stage for the first time in six years!"

"Mu Ge!"

It's really good, and the plot is very reasonable. I would like to give the author a suggestion: the members of AG in 2016, such as VV, Caichen, Jiesi, Laoshuai, and Menglei, could have more storylines. I've been a fan of Dragon Ball Super since elementary school, and even now, as I'm about to get married in college, I'm still a die-hard fan of AG and VV!

I'll give it a good review; it's alright to me, but it's too short, just as short as the author's work.

The writing is very good. The first few chapters focus too much on Han Xin, making them a bit tedious. After all, this is probably the author's first time writing a novel. Overall, it's very well written, so the author must be a player who loves King of Glory.

I won't go into the plot, it's all the same old thing! The main thing is that the female lead is a big plus! I really envy the relationship between the male and female leads!

I don't watch King of Glory much, I mostly watch League of Legends, but I have read some of those. This book is quite well written, not too long-winded. The author knows what the audience wants to see, so it's not too padded or drawn out. The pacing is very tight, and the overall reading is smooth without any disjointed parts. I personally still like it a lot so far.

So far, it's not bad, but I read a novel, also about the game "King of Glory," and it gave me a brain hemorrhage 😠

It's pretty good, no melodramatic plot twists, and a sweet, pure romance! Keep up the good work!
