Synopsis

[Misunderstandings + King of Glory Coach + KPL + Reborn Without a System + Chosen One + Hilarious]

Lin Ci was reborn and discovered that he had become JDG's head coach. But to his horror, although he had inherited the memories, his actual gameplay skills were still those of the average player he'd been before, stuck at Star Glory.

From the start, he had to guide professional players through their picks and bans.

“Wait, dude, I'm a Star Glory player. You're asking me to be the coach and handle picks and bans? Do I even understand the game?”

On the verge of tears, Lin Ci could only rely on his own ideas and understanding, making picks and bans during matches and coaching the team in training to help them improve.

Yet as the season went on, Lin Ci was surprised to find that his Star Glory strategies kept working...

Maybe he really did have just a tiny bit of luck on his side?

And so, the legend of Lin Ci began...

Old Lin: “Ming Lian's drafts are even more outrageous than mine. At first, I thought he was hiding something, but later I realized this is simply his own unique understanding of the game.”

Jiuzhe: “Ming Lian's team fights have absolutely no structure. They just jump right in whenever they feel like it. They even push from the inside out when taking a high ground, and somehow wipe out the enemy team and destroy the base. How are you supposed to play against that?”

The commentators: “Ever since Coach Ming Lian started drafting on stage, every time he picks a lineup that leaves us reeling and then wins the match, we can't figure out what he's thinking... Could it really be that our understanding of the game is the problem?”

I followed this author from their other books; they really know how to write about esports and its aspects within the King of Glory community. The author's track record is verifiable, and writing from a coach's perspective makes it even more enjoyable. It's just so good, I can't get enough! Please update more! 🤓👍

King of Glory: I'm only a Diamond rank player, and you want me to be a coach? Don't make friends with idiot Maru The game is a lighthearted and humorous genre, requiring players to disregard some logic, given its lighthearted and humorous nature. Well, the plot is currently quite fresh, and the narration is interesting. I wonder what new writing techniques they will use in the future, besides relying on skillful maneuvering. Currently in the new book release period, five-star support.

I think this book is pretty good. Unlike other coaching novels where low-star players guide high-ranking players, the protagonist knows his own level and is trying his best to improve. He tries to find ways to make good draft picks. Although there is some quirky stuff, it's different from other novels that rely purely on luck.

What makes it appealing isn't just pure enjoyment, but rather its emphasis on the coach's understanding of the game and the unique perspectives of the transmigrators who have made up for lost time. It also constantly highlights how, after gaining trust, the professional players continuously improve their skills and how the team works together, making it very addictive to watch.

This novel, purely about games, was truly enjoyable to read. The author demonstrates a good understanding of the genre, combining humor with a touch of professionalism. Most importantly, it avoids a bunch of trivial matters outside the game and refrains from mindless criticism. It's a genuinely pure game novel, which is incredibly rare.

The protagonist is similar to King and Bucky, with luck being his biggest advantage. The whole book is quite funny and full of hilarious mishaps, and the team's trust and warm atmosphere towards the protagonist is also quite good. In addition, the author is knowledgeable about KPL, the writing style is decent, and there are not many loopholes. Consider it a good read.

This is a novel about a coach in the game Honor of Kings. The protagonist either transmigrates or is reborn and becomes a coach for JDG. Using his outsider perspective, the protagonist accidentally discovers the potential of the JDG team, helping them grow stronger step by step. This book is slightly different from the coaching novels I've read before about King of Glory.

Mysterious initiator, mysterious flanker, mysterious laner, mysterious bush-camper, mysterious variation player 🤔 Well written!!! No female lead, no romantic subplots, just pure e-sports! This one's good too!

The initial thrills of this book came from the protagonist's incredible luck and the unique perspectives of others, but what truly moved readers in the end was the camaraderie among the team members and their unwavering trust in their coach—these are the best kind of team! Hooray for the finale! Hope the author keeps writing! 💕
