   Oh my god... I absolutely love this meme!!! The fact that the clones have their own personalities and genuinely care for others is my favorite part [pity].

   It's fantastic, and the match stories are exceptionally well-written. Each playthrough's story is incredibly engaging; I especially loved the Shevchenko brothers' derby and the Ma Xiaozui playthrough. The other playthroughs are also very interesting. The unique, satisfying feeling of a simulator novel... Wow!

   Curator note

   A super-exciting, even slightly fantastical, football novel. The protagonist played until 54 before retiring, became FIFA president, and ran for president—a perfect life! Actually, I prefer the side story about becoming president (the side story is especially interesting). Second point: Actually, there's one part I skip every time I rewatch it: the protagonist's desire to be a saint is so intense that it sometimes overdoes it. But thankfully, these kinds of scenes are relatively concentrated and few! Overall, the flaws don't outweigh the merits.

   Curator note

   Simulator elements, all free, updates sporadically. The beginning was really interesting, especially the response to the transfer from Real Madrid. Outside the game, it's a crossover between English and American films, with the protagonist being a friend of PP Bug and a PR person for Stark. But maybe because I forget what was said before with each update, I didn't feel anything after reading the latest update.

You were bound to a FIFA System with every skill maxed out, even though you had never played soccer in your life. The System told you, “You will become the best striker, midfielder, defender, and goalkeeper of this century. Your mission is to win or die.” You didn’t want to die. But you knew this kind of “talent” was unfair. You were a rule-breaker, someone who shouldn’t exist in this era. You didn’t want to overshadow the superst 13.1kFavorites20.1kClicks/ch46.8kGifts

   Curator note

   The protagonist has a very high moral compass, and he internally condemns himself for being forced to use his cheat-like abilities. He's charming but not to the point of being overly domineering, just so appealing... This free story updates randomly, and I'm getting tearful.

   Curator note

   How come there's a "God of War" style in football literature? It involves a cycle of losses where the player takes advantage of the cycle to attack their teammates. This is a drama queen who's a locker room and field god of war. She 1v10, completely crushing Real Madrid in the locker room, even making Ronaldo salute and say, "Don't hold me accountable for not playing this time..." Then she 1v21, beating up all her opponents and teammates, and afterwards, she enrolled in boxing classes. I laughed so hard. Apparently, this god of war has no technique, relying entirely on physical prowess, and that's how she becomes invincible... Furthermore, the protagonist isn't a violent maniac; he's actually quite emotionally stable. But being a war god is so enjoyable that he does all sorts of things... Wow, that cracked me up. If you think the protagonist is going a bit too far after chapter 30, since football is a competition and you can't win by threatening others, then you can persevere until chapter 38 or 39 where this issue is perfectly resolved. After all, the protagonist is already a winner in life and genuinely doesn't want a time loop. I especially loved the side stories! They were so good and so much fun!!!

   It contains a variety of very interesting and funny short stories, especially those featuring various accounts and crosstalk. I recommend checking it out on Lofter (a Chinese social networking site). The several thousand words in the Lofter bonus section aren't included here.
