[The King's Avatar] A Streamer’s Guide to Falling in Love

[Major revisions in progress. Reading now may not be the best experience]

[Main story complete. Bonus chapters will appear from time to time]

A story about going from looking up to standing side by side, falling in love while competing in tournaments.

The main story is told in third person. One-on-one romance, pairing with Wang Jiexi, happy ending.

Not a wish-fulfillment power fantasy. The early part focuses more on romance, while the later part features more tournament scenes.

Forum headline: Wang Jiexi is watching a female streamer in the middle of the night instead of studying tactics?!

I'm Lin Sushen, that female streamer: a broke, low-ranking technical player. I stream with players all across the league, especially Wang Jiexi, captain of Team Tiny Herb.

To prove myself, I confidently set off to join the professional scene and make some money along the way.

How many steps does it take to go from streamer to the founder of a new dynasty?

Shouldering the burden of keeping a relegation-threatened team afloat in my rookie season, setting off an internet-wide explosion by dating the person I idolize, and getting my transfer blocked by a shady boss...

Why did nobody tell me it would be this hard?

Important content warnings:

This story believes in the supremacy of Tiny Herb.

About the female lead:

The female lead grows over the course of the story. Early on, she's an arrogant, sharp-tongued troll, a scrappy little kitten with little going for her.

She goes from streamer to professional player, moving from Team Zhaohua to Tiny Herb, and eventually wins the championship with Tiny Herb.

About the setting:

The public discourse is much worse than in the original work.

About the romance:

The male lead is older, with a notable age gap.

Early on, the tone is light and sweet. Later, they become equally strong partners standing side by side.

About the tournaments:

For the sake of the plot, the competition format has been changed. Starting in Season 11, there are two seasons a year, with a shorter schedule. Early on, competition is less important than romance. Starting in Chapter 37, Season 13 begins, and the two storylines receive equal focus. The championship is won in Season 13.
