These are the ones I think are pretty good. I didn't used to read danmei, but there are so few football stories with romance or no CP, so I made an exception. I'll add new stories if I find ones I like.

It's pretty good! The first few simulations were relatively short. The main storyline should be about the star player "Little A" mentioned in the synopsis and the doctor whose name we don't know yet. They will merge into one later on. Some comments mentioned that the author lacks basic knowledge about football. I don't think it has a significant impact, but I wouldn't recommend it for those who like to do in-depth research.
5 [Football] A Midfielder from the Sky [足球]天降中场 Braised Rabbit红烧兔No CP168k WordsOngoing [I’ll look for inspiration once I finish the other project 😇] Falke von der Heide, a German-Chinese player, made his name at the 2025 Club World Cup with his extraordinary vision, spatial awareness, anticipation, and ability to control the tempo of a match. From then on, he announced his arrival on the football stage. But none of that could compare to his ability to calculate in his head.

It's quite remarkable how old the protagonists of football novels are these days. Most of the stories I read feature characters born in the 80s and 90s, with very few written about recent years. The protagonist of this book was born in 2006.

It's refreshing, the fourth type of disaster, but sometimes watching it makes you want to stick your toes out. It feels a bit unfair to the other players. I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a show of real struggle.

It's quite good, but the author hasn't been updating much lately, and there's been a "VIP" issue (where the account is temporarily suspended). I dislike this kind of behavior. It's finished, but I haven't read it since the last recommendation, so I don't know what happened next.

After that, she discovered that she would sometimes transmigrate into the bodies of “strangers.” Her transmigrations follow no timeline and have no pattern. The people she possesses could be anyone: a stadium security guard, a ticket seller, a linesman, Shevchenko standing on the pitch in Istanbul, De Bruyne’s ex-girlfriend, who almost took things all the way with Courtois, or even... a cat.

It's far too little, but it's about women's soccer, and the earlier time-travel stories are quite good. I hope the author will go for a paid subscription and write more about it.

It's likely to be a very long novel. The author is very reliable and updates frequently, and the puppy is adorable. However, there are a few grammatically incorrect sentences, perhaps due to the author's speech impediment.

Tio is the best kid in the world! The beginning is really good; you can skip the mafia/gangster plot. It gets a bit boring later on when the protagonist matures and there's less fun. Also, some of the author's sentences are really hard to understand; the sentence structure is incomplete and makes it difficult to read.
11 [Football] Kitty Ball [足球]猫猫球 Wool Pants羊毛裤No CP1.0M WordsOngoing [A little cat plays football, a goalkeeper story to make up for Portugal's regrets] Braviri is a little cat, skilled at hunting (saving shots) and sleeping while standing up.

Each chapter is very long, making for a satisfying read. However, there's too much psychological description of the protagonist, which feels oppressive. I also don't really like the "everyone's charming and adoring the protagonist" trope; it's far too over-the-top. But that's just the author's writing style. Those who like that style can check it out. I only bought a large card.

The electric scooter enthusiast is incredibly advanced in his mental state, a true genius in both speech and articulation. Watching his daily life and races is very entertaining. However, the author mentions that his character has a strong "golden finger" (a powerful advantage), so there won't be many racing scenes (which is a bit sad). There's also relatively little emotional description. I like it. Seeing them together makes me feel so bored (flips fingers)
