   For those of you experiencing a reading slump, this book, *The God of Football Replicas*, is truly addictive. The protagonist, Lin Xiao, possesses an Ω system that can mirror and replicate his opponents' unique skills—a single glance at their signature move becomes his own, allowing him to use their ultimate attack to turn the tables. It's not mindless brute force; it's about using your brain on the field first, then striking a psychological blow—the satisfying moments are incredibly frequent. The most hilarious character is his teammate, Sangji, who calls himself the "Tank God of War," only to have his own goal ridiculed as a "butt shot" by the entire stadium, and when he tries to pick up a girl, he's immediately recognized as the guy who scored with his butt—I laughed so hard my roommate thought I had a seizure. The "funny and lighthearted" tag is no exaggeration; Sangji's every appearance is iconic. The pacing is also excellent. From slapping Lü Yanhao in the face during the school's intra-school competition to the 9-on-11 comeback victory in the Rongguang Cup semi-final, every match is thrilling and plausible. Lin Xiao isn't the cold, aloof, overpowered type; off the field, he's affectionate with his childhood sweetheart and banter with his teammates—the character has warmth. If you enjoy system-driven gameplay combined with competitive football, this is for you. Even those who don't watch football can understand it; just enjoy the show! "Football Replica God," a sports game, is currently being serialized.

   Real-life accounts of football are often more interesting than novels. For example, the story of Leeds in this book, with its ups and downs 20 years later, is the perfect template for a novel. And Leipzig, in particular, is the ultimate source material for a real-life business novel. The problem is, when writing, looking at real history makes me increasingly less confident. What I write isn't even as compelling as the real thing.
