[The King's Avatar] Never Regret, Even in Death

Also known as Granting Team Whistling an Expert Tactician, Why Does Everyone Want to Become Lin Jingyan's Brother-in-Law?, Lin Jingyan Is on His Way with a Knife, and I Hope Every Day That Team Whistling Can Rise from Sparrow to Phoenix

Blurb:

“Korea's top tactician. During the skirmish at the World Invitational, the national team members praised your individual skill and tactical planning. When news broke that you were returning home, all the major teams reached out, but you ultimately chose Team Whistling. May I ask why?”

“No idea. Team Whistling offered more, so I came.”

-- Because that's where my dream began, and where my regrets remain. I hope I can leave a championship trophy with Team Whistling.

Content warnings:

* A tactician recruited from Korea to Team Whistling during the winter transfer window of Season 11.

* I'm bad at writing game matches. Anyway, she's strong in every way (comparable to YEG, but definitely not as strong). The point is to have fun. She never suffers any unfairness. There'll be plenty of romance. I'm a devoted fan of pure-blooded Mary Sues and spectacular, melodramatic love triangles.

* A fictionalized take on real life, closely following current events and online trends, with lots of internet memes and original jokes mixed in.

* Liu Hao is a villain I love to hate.

* Based on reality, but the Nagoya Asian Games are a personal addition. Team Whistling wins the championship in Season 12.

* First person, with original settings and character IDs but no names. Names are replaced with XXX. Everything is in service of the plot. There may be characterization inconsistencies, so don't scrutinize them. The female lead isn't sexually inexperienced, while all the men are.

* A romance for female readers. All other character relationships are platonic.

* Apologies for the out-of-character moments.

Additional warnings:

* The romance has no outline at all. The next chapter depends entirely on inspiration striking (I only find out what happens a few hours before you do). It's an all-cast romance, but no relationships will be confirmed in the main story. There'll be lots of everyday scenes, and the male leads will show up at random. The author does have a favorite, though... I'll try to divide the attention evenly (wipes tears and shouts, “I really did!”).

* Whether you get the Lin Jingyan storyline is up to you. Anyway, it's written very subtly.

Theme: You could play Glory for another ten years and still never get tired of it.
