(Real life has been extremely busy lately, so updates are irregular. I'll try to get back to daily updates once things calm down. My upcoming story, Streamer, Please Take Your Places, has a synopsis at the end.)
The hugely popular powerhouse team AKX suffered a heartbreaking defeat at Worlds. Disappointed viewers shouted that the five players who let them down should hurry up and disband.
Negotiations between the jungler and the club fell apart at the end of the transfer window, making the struggling team even worse off.
Amid a flurry of rumors, AKX was at the bottom of public opinion. As the new season began, the team resolutely promoted their academy rookie Ling Zhengran to the starting roster. Everyone saw it as a desperate move to put out a fire.
Everyone thought that the AKX of today needed an experienced player who could make an immediate impact, not a future star just starting out.
Even AKX's fans couldn't sit still. They angrily accused the club of wasting the precious careers of four star players just to babysit the owner's chosen prince.
As trolls from every corner clashed, the genius rookie at the center of the storm casually reposted the official announcement and commented, "The gods are back in their places. Just wait."
The trolls: "..."
The forums: "Whose kid is having a teenage-chuunibyou episode?"
The chuunibyou kid Ling Zhengran had dominated the second-tier league. After finally joining the dream team, he automatically ignored every doubting voice and was very satisfied with the start of his professional career.
His only worry was how his own lively personality would get along with four mature, reserved senior teammates.
But on his first day through AKX's doors, Ling Zhengran sensed something was off.
Seriously, weren't AKX's players all supposed to be serious people?
Viewers, don't let their on-camera image fool you. These legendary godlike teammates are each more entertaining than he is!
* The game in the story is League of Legends. No pairings and no real-life inspirations. The male lead loves only League of Legends. The format and game version have been changed as needed for the plot. To fit the timeline of the other story in this series, all game versions are set before the 14.1 changes.

[Upcoming story: Streamer, Please Take Your Places (with romance)]
After years in the spotlight, star mid laner Zhuang Minghuai put in the worst performance of his career while suffering from injuries.
All the viewers condemned him for tarnishing his legacy, and even his fans were deeply disappointed in him.
Exhausted in both body and mind, Zhuang Minghuai got into a car accident during the transfer window. When he regained consciousness, he discovered he'd been reborn five years in the past, when he was still an unknown game streamer.
In his previous life, his career had been full of ups and downs. He had once been surrounded by stars and adored by thousands, and he had also sunk into the mud and tasted every kind of bitterness.
Now that he'd returned to life, this time... the little streamer Zhuang Minghuai made a bold decision: He wouldn't go pro. Avoidance may be shameful, but it works.
A monster of a newcomer arrived in the streaming world, dominating high-level games on both servers. Supposedly, he streamed himself stylishly crushing professional mid laners he matched with in ranked games, but turned down every olive branch offered by a club.
Even more bizarrely, the league's red-hot star AD, Li Zheng, specifically named this streamer and said he wanted him as a teammate.
Zhuang Minghuai went cross-eyed the moment he got the news. Good grief, wasn't this the former teammate he hated most in his previous life?
Both of them were arrogant, swaggering prodigies who made their names early. They were hailed as the league's best bot lane duo while playing on the same team. Everyone thought they'd build a dynasty together, but through a twist of fate, the team missed out on the world championship.
With such strong personalities, the two had never liked each other. After the team disbanded, they never spoke again, and rumors of their falling-out spread throughout the league.
But five years earlier, they hadn't even known each other. Zhuang Minghuai had no idea why Li Zheng had singled him out.
He'd finally gotten a second chance. Why would he want to become teammates with his sworn enemy again?
But for the sake of the star's face, Zhuang Minghuai accepted the invitation to visit the club.
He'd planned to exchange pleasantries, politely decline, and leave, but accidentally overheard the manager ask the other man, "He's just a streamer. How can you be so sure he'll make a name for himself in the league? Li Zheng, this is a huge gamble."
He heard the always arrogant troublemaker answer calmly, "Yes. I'm willing to bet everything I have."
* Li is the pursuer and Minghuai is the pursued. A strong leads, strong romance with a healing focus. The game is League of Legends, with no real-life inspirations. The career storyline is pure wish fulfillment. Happy ending.
Theme: The never-say-die competitive spirit, whether at the top or the bottom
Quietly said: I think junglers like Wan Qian just look good, but actually lack a sense of responsibility and responsibility for the team. When playing games, they only want to show off for themselves and make choices that bear the least responsibility. They attract public praise, but in fact they are very confused.
I'm really excited to get the update at night. TT I finished reading Xiaobai's book in one go some time ago. I fell in love with Xiaoling and Lao AKX in just 0.01 Seconds. I'm really happy to see this book in the same series that is similar to a prequel (?)! Goddess, you really wrote very well, both in terms of game description and character creation. I have been recalling it and talking about it with my friends... The atmosphere of the old AKX is so good. I still feel heavy when I think of the future of this team, and I hope not to leave too many regrets for them... The five most correct people, please be happy forever 😭
What's the story about Brother Chaotic Code?
Crying words, I haven't watched it for a long time. I suddenly thought of it tonight and came back to take a look. The reason I remembered it was that my home team (kpl's) lost the game.
Does it count as growing up if you no longer rely on your brothers? I remembered Xiao Ling who led the team later. Growth means never looking back...
Come on akx, you won't let two chase three.
Maybe because I read this first one, I actually don't want to read the author's other articles. Speaking of it, it may be a personal reason. I saw Zheng Ran and wanted him to stay in this team. If I read the other book, he went to another team. I don't know the reason, but I just don't want to read it.
Because Xiaobai is a mentality monster (leaning back), he is both brother and younger brother, and he will naturally switch states according to different objects (etc.)
Today I recalled the author's other two non-CP e-sports articles "I heard you also like giving away" and "The mid laner is too cool to chat". I have carefully read and followed these two books. In comparison, the former protagonist, Fu Zhanbai, has a more youthful and high-spirited feeling, the character's growth line is more obvious, the plot is more dramatic and conflicting, and it looks more enjoyable; the protagonist team always has a cpc feeling with Ling Zhengran, that kind of "bond" feeling. As a rotten girl, I think it is very acceptable, but some people may feel unbalanced in a non-CP novel. After all, I'm not a professional, so I don't know how to do it better. Although the latter book made me feel that it was relatively bland overall, it unexpectedly fit the character of Xiaodao very well and felt that it had a unique flavor. And I really like Xiaodao's character. His character and abilities have the feeling of a male protagonist, and he is a well-deserved anchor of the team. Overall, these two books each have their own attractions for me, and I still go back and read them often to this day. As for the book being serialized now, because I am the kind of person who strongly avoids conflicts, and the front of this book is relatively heavy, and it is also influenced by the book "Like to Give" which is later in the timeline, so although I have subscribed to it, I have not read it seriously, and I have just glanced at it. Let's find time to watch it slowly after it's finished. Influenced by the author, I often watch LPL games now. Although I am still very bad, it is very interesting to watch others beat me. I hope the author will stick with it and update soon!
Anchor anchor, how long will it take to resume daily updates? I've finished reading the novice's book three times. I've been so bored during the recent offseason (although I'm not watching League of Legends games)
