Blurb:
Genius mid-laner Han Xun is handsome and plays like a beast, but he’s also widely acknowledged across the league as a social shut-in.
An illness during childhood damaged his vocal cords, leaving his voice softer and raspier than normal. He was often mocked by kids his age, and after he turned pro, people came up with plenty of insulting nicknames about it.
Insecure about his voice, he’s always tried to avoid talking too much to people, and his social anxiety has only gotten worse.
His coach and teammates shake their heads and say they can’t communicate with him. During a post-game interview, he can’t say a single word in front of the entire crowd. There have been so many absurd incidents like these that after Han Xun finishes a year without winning a single honor, everyone thinks his professional career can be written off.
By a twist of fate, Han Xun joins WAVE in the new season, a team packed with outgoing social butterflies from top lane to bottom lane.
A forum user sums it up: “If he spends a season at WAVE, will they have to take him to a therapist?”
On Han Xun’s first day, he opens the training room door to find his chattering teammates rushing toward him with a huge welcome banner. The chaotic new season begins.
A social-anxious mid-laner’s struggle to survive on a team of extroverts. A healing coming-of-age story, with an all-angel cast.
Note: The game is League of Legends. No CP and no real-life models. The male lead loves only League of Legends. The version and competition rules include some original elements.

The popular powerhouse AKX, once riding high, suffers a disappointing defeat at the World Championship. Disillusioned viewers clamor for the five players who let them down to disband already.
The jungler and the club fail to reach a contract extension agreement at the end of the transfer window, making an already dispirited team’s situation even worse.
Amid a storm of rumors, AKX, at the bottom of public opinion, resolutely promotes its academy rookie Ling Zhengran to the starting roster for the new season. Anyone can see it’s a desperate move to put out a fire.
Everyone thinks AKX urgently needs an experienced player who can contribute right away, not a future star just starting out.
Even AKX fans can’t sit still. They angrily accuse the club of wasting four star players’ precious careers so the young heir can have playmates.
As rival fans and trolls battle it out, the talented rookie thrust into the center of public opinion casually reposts the official announcement and comments, “The gods are in position. Just wait.”
Trolls: “…”
Forum: “Whose kid just hit their chuunibyou phase?”
The chuunibyou kid Ling Zhengran dominated the secondary league. After he gets his wish and is promoted to his dream team, he automatically tunes out all the doubts and is quite satisfied with the start of his professional career.
His only concern is how someone as hyperactive as him will get along with four mature, level-headed veterans.
But on his first day through AKX’s doors, Ling Zhengran senses something’s off.
Come on, weren’t the people at AKX supposed to be serious? Viewers, don’t be fooled by their on-camera images. These legendary divine teammates are clearly even more entertaining than he is!
*Prequel to Listen, I Heard You Like Throwing Too, a related story in the author’s collection. It looks back on AKX’s year from Ling Zhengran’s point of view and can be read on its own. The game is League of Legends. No CP, no real-life models. The male lead loves only League of Legends.

After years in the spotlight, star mid-laner Zhuang Minghuai delivers the worst performance of his career while struggling with injuries. Viewers berate him for tarnishing his legacy, and even his fans are deeply disappointed in him.
Physically and mentally exhausted, Zhuang Minghuai gets into a car accident during the transfer window. When he regains consciousness, he discovers he has been reborn five years in the past, back when he was an obscure gaming streamer.
His previous career had been full of ups and downs. He had basked in the adoration of countless fans, only to fall into the mud and taste every kind of bitterness.
Now that he’s reborn, in this life… The small-time streamer Zhuang Minghuai makes a carefree decision: He’s not going pro. Avoidance may be shameful, but it works.
A freak newcomer has appeared in the streaming scene, dominating high-ranked games on both servers. Apparently, he streams himself stylishly crushing pro mid-laners he runs into in ranked games, yet turns down every offer from every club.
Even more bizarre, the league’s hugely popular star AD, Li Zheng, specifically asks to team up with this streamer.
When Zhuang Minghuai gets the news, his eyes roll back: What the heck, isn’t that the ex-teammate he hated most in his previous life?
They were both talented young players who rose to fame early, arrogant in manner and aggressive in their play. As teammates, they were hailed as the best bottom-lane duo, and everyone thought they’d build a dynasty together. In the end, though, their team narrowly missed out on the World Championship title due to a series of twists and turns.
With such distinct personalities, the two couldn’t stand each other. After the team disbanded, they never spoke again, and rumors of their falling-out spread throughout the league.
But five years ago, they were complete strangers, and Zhuang Minghuai can’t understand why Li Zheng has singled him out.
He’s finally gotten a fresh start. Why would he go out of his way to team up with his nemesis again?
Still, for a big star, Zhuang Minghuai agrees to visit the club.
He plans to exchange pleasantries and then politely decline, but accidentally overhears the manager asking Li Zheng, “He’s just a streamer. You really think he can make a name for himself in the league? Li Zheng, this is a huge gamble.”
The ever-arrogant troublemaker replies calmly, “Yes. But I’m willing to bet everything I have.”
*Li is the gong and Minghuai the shou. Strong couple, feel-good and satisfying. The game is League of Legends, with no real-life models. The career arc is pure wish fulfillment. Happy ending.
Theme: The competitive spirit of never giving up, whether you’re at the top or the bottom
After reading the full text, my favorite character is You Yi, who doesn't have many roles. He is so gentle, beautiful and charming, and a mature man with stable emotions. He is gentle, firm and principled. Even Wei Shen, who refuses to accept anyone, is as unconsciously dependent on him as a child.
I just want to say that this is one of the best e-sports articles I have ever read. Although most e-sports articles nowadays generally have love lines, I still think there is no love in e-sports.
The big competition was so well written and very exciting. There was no shortage of frustrations and pressures, and it didn't make other people smarter. I finished it in one go. It was great! However, I personally feel that the character image is still a bit lacking, but of course it is very good. Finally, I wish you a lot of money! 💪
After saving for a long time, I finally remembered to watch it. I feel that it was really hard to fight the wave all the way QAQ. Although the process was a bit needy, fortunately, I won the championship in the end. I hope the wave can keep going!
Happy ending, keep the wave going! I also like akx's old story, but it's such a pity that I don't have Xiaobai anymore 😭
Although I have read them one by one with the author, my favorite is "I heard you also like to give them away". I feel that I have read it more than 20 times. Sometimes it is used as a sleep aid before going to bed. It has been a long time since Xiaobai and Lychee Rou!!! Anyway, pre-payment is coming soon! It would be even better if I could pick up some novices in their comments.
I hope everyone can still be together, but I don't want everyone to be manipulated by capital because of this, alas.
Is there any chance to see Xiaodao playing jungle?
Please give me a forum extra and a fan's perspective to blow the wave and blow the knife!
Don't dismantle it!!! Qwq
