    A high-quality, long-form football epic! No clichés, no silly plots, and no overpowered characters! The main characters' gradual growth is captivating! It features romantic pairings but isn't overly romantic. Highly recommended!!

    Everyone has a brain. The first book is an invincible novel, a truly satisfying read. The second book is about how you disturbed a king-level unit, so run! My favorite is still the third book, about the true Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable, where bad guys must die. I won't argue with you; whether I forgive you or not is up to the grandmaster. I'm only responsible for sending you to meet the grandmaster.

    This book is truly amazing. The protagonist has an incredibly charismatic personality; he's not a typical loser, but rather quite normal and reliable.
