Before he turned twelve, Lin Yanzhou had never imagined becoming a tennis player.
An ordinary trial tennis lesson put him on a court for the first time and made him realize that the best players his age had already been training for five or six years. In professional tennis, starting at twelve seemed far too late.
Then, after an accident, he became bound to an intelligent training System called ACE.
It wouldn’t strengthen his body, grant him skills outright, or win a single point for him. All it could do was analyze his training, record every match, create the growth plan best suited to him, assess his opponents and tournaments, and tell him what he needed to do next to become world number one.
Initial probability of becoming world number one: 0.0037%.
Starting on an ordinary youth tennis court in Shenzhen, Lin Yanzhou works step by step to catch up with opponents who are already six years ahead of him.
Domestic tournaments, ITF juniors, the professional tour, Grand Slams...
Is it still possible to make it when you start at twelve?
After reading for a while, it's clear the author's writing style reflects the book's quality. The author's ability to read the game is like the protagonist's tennis skills – one has the ability to analyze matches but lacks the technical skill, while the other has a clear writing style but lacks descriptive ability.
I really like the way the introduction shows progress step by step. I hope you can keep writing, and it would be great if you could change the cover. I've read it, and although it's AI-generated, the overall experience is quite good. If the author could review it later and replace the repetitive content with their own, adding some of their own ideas, it would be great.
Your idea is good. Don't use AI. If you focus on refining your strategy and investing in QD, you should earn more than you are now.
I especially love the subject matter and the plot is well-arranged, but the AI aspect of the content hasn't been improved much 🤦 I can understand the use of auxiliary elements in technical novels, but everyday life can be continuously refined. I hope it continues to be updated and evolves; I still recommend it.
I'm giving Chapter 39 a five-star review. My nephew was recruited for the swimming team; he's about the same age. The dialogue in the book is exactly the same as what we've said at home. Only when you know someone who actually practices sports do you understand how terrifying this path can be. Sports and academics are truly two choices, but if you fail in the face of talent, you're practically ruined. My nephew's grades are already falling behind, and he's using sports as an escape.
A good book, written in a very realistic style, it gives a strong sense of growth. The downside is that it feels a bit bland; you can't feel the characters' emotional changes, and there's no emotion.
It's a very real situation; cultivating athletes is incredibly difficult. It requires not only a huge investment of time and money, but also various opportunity costs related to studies, daily life, social interactions, and entertainment. The same applies to the college entrance exam now; without significant investment, ending up in a bad university yields no benefit whatsoever. It's a real dilemma.
Seeing the synopsis reminded me of an anime I watched before, "Honorary Tennis Student," which I never got to see the ending of.
These kinds of realistic sports stories are all good.
It's so difficult to include the Chinese translation when the foreign language version is published! 😫
