Synopsis

[The Prince of Tennis + transmigrate + Rikkai Dai's 16 consecutive Kanto titles + three consecutive national titles] No CP in the main story. Ship whoever you want. There may be bonus chapters. This story has a lot of motivational speeches, so read with caution.

He was once the brightest rising star in the tennis world, but quietly retired at the height of his career. “Because some people had tainted the tennis I loved.”

Hoshimi Nekoha is a lazy, easygoing boy with a catlike nature and talent that leaves every coach amazed. Yet he chose to lock his racket away for good. When he unexpectedly transmigrated into the world of The Prince of Tennis, he swore never to touch a racket again.

But fate seemed to love playing tricks on him.

Trying to protect a younger student from being bullied by older kids, he casually hit a ball that happened to catch the eye of Yukimura Seiichi, captain of Rikkai Dai's tennis team. The boy known as the “Child of God” gave him a meaningful smile.

“Hoshimi, your tennis is quite interesting.”

Sanada's “iron-fist punishment,” Yanagi Renji's precise data, Niou Masaharu's playful tricks, Marui Bunta's cake-based offensive, Yagyu Hiroshi's gentlemanly invitations, Kuwabara's quiet concern, and Kirihara Akaya's persistent challenges...

The Rikkai Dai team's successive “attacks” gradually helped this wounded cat let down his guard.

He knew how this world was supposed to end: Rikkai Dai's record of sixteen consecutive Kanto titles would be broken, and their dream of three consecutive national titles would end in the finals. But this time, he wanted to try changing it all.

It was not only their dream. Perhaps it was his own, too.

“Rikkai Dai, the champions without a single weakness.”

When Hoshimi Nekoha picked up his racket, a journey of healing, growth, and glory officially began.

While the author's writing style is still somewhat immature, the story is quite well-written. However, there are recurring plot points where our little cat notices small details, and others tell him not to expose them, etc. While this is cute, it feels a little odd after a while. The timeline in this book is just for reference.

Sometimes I really have to admit that good stories are hard to find; you can't just judge a story's quality by its rating. The best stories are the ones you enjoy reading. Although I've only read a few chapters so far, I can already tell that the writing is really good. If the author can maintain this level of quality, this story will definitely be a great one.

A short essay by the author. 1. Some people wonder why this novel is meant to make up for regrets. Why not just prevent Yukimura from getting sick, or let him receive treatment and recover sooner? Instead, it uses an interventional approach, causing Yukimura's illness to only manifest after the National Tournament. The author initially intended to write about a healthy Yukimura.

This book is a real gem on Taobao. The storyline, from Neko Yu joining the tennis club to the Kanto Tournament, the National Tournament, the U-17 training camp, and finally the World Championship, presents a complete narrative of The Prince of Tennis.

I have a question: what grade is the main character in? Why does Kirihara call him "senpai," while he calls Niou and the others "senpai"? Isn't Kirihara only one grade below Niou?

Seeing the daily interactions between the cat (the main character) and all the members of Rikkai is especially heartwarming. Furthermore, the detailed descriptions of the cat's little actions and thoughts are particularly adorable, and it's also secretly observing others.

I really enjoyed this book by the author, so I'll give it five stars as encouragement. However, the repetitive content lowers my appreciation for it; it would be even better if it were revised. 💕
