[The game has lots of original worldbuilding and is similar to PUBG and Game for Peace. You don't need to know the games to enjoy the story.]
[The blurb has been revised, but the core idea is unchanged.]
An Lu transmigrates into an esports novel as a cannon-fodder character.
Before long, the protagonist will step on him to enter a world champion team.
His teammates are cold, his opponents mock him, and his coach looks down on him.
An Lu silently takes out his keyboard:
Have you all gotten too cocky, or has this esports pianist lost his nerve?
Today he'll show you what it means to win with both parents alive and lose so badly your entire family tree goes up in flames.
Keyboard, come to me!

Lu Ce, captain of the world champion team, has a terrible first impression of An Lu: arrogant, conceited, and willful.
The first time he sees An Lu is during an open scrimmage:
The boy snipes an opponent from the maximum range and types in the public chat:
[Since you've already picked out your own grave, your dad will do you the favor of sending you there.]
The second time Lu Ce sees An Lu is during the season tournament. The boy is just as merciless when roasting his own teammates:
[Wow, with hands that fast, even my grandma would be impressed while brushing her teeth.]
[You picked up so many 4x scopes. Planning to sell them after the match and save up for your retirement?]
The serious, proper Lu Ce frowns as he listens.
So when the manager insists on bringing An Lu onto the team, Lu Ce is impatient and even declares:
"You'll regret it."
Then he meets the real An Lu: an oversized hoodie, a delicate, pretty face, cheeks flushed pink, and a shy, avoidant gaze. He's just a bewildered kid.
This is... a snarling tiger, a little white rabbit?
Lu Ce falls silent, completely won over, and his heart races like a deer.
The team's daily life after An Lu joins:
Lu Ce: I hope everyone sets a good example and speaks politely and reasonably.
Teammate: Boss! The team next door borrowed An An! They said they want to train themselves to resist beauty!
Lu Ce: Damn it.
A beauty with a sharp tongue in the game but a little socially anxious and shy in real life & a devoted, jealous, shameless older man who dotes on his wife
Livestreaming and esports (a major focus)
[A light, stress-relieving story. No depressing plotlines. The protagonist is adorable, and the love interest is a total scoundrel.]

*1) There are internet-famous trolls, including the Zuan kumquat. Though An An sometimes has a short temper, he never insults people's families or uses vulgar language. He keeps his insults personal and directs them at the person himself. He never attacks people without reason; he only hits back when attacked, responding to hostility with hostility. He's not the type to start fights online. I can't win arguments with trolls in real life, but surely I can write about it!
2) This is a feel-good, sweet little story. If you want airtight logic or world classics, please move along!
3) Please don't get too hung up on the specific game details. The author isn't an esports player and can only do their best.
Theme: Competition gives people the courage to face difficulties.
