I love watching competitions. I don't like characters who are too cutesy, overly dramatic, or awkwardly fake. I've saved and bought everything on this list, so they've all passed an initial screening and should be worth reading.

1 [Football] The Little Things About Playing Football [足球]踢球那件小事 So Cold, Fish好冷啊fishRomance199k WordsOngoing Over Land and Sea [BG romance, an Arsenal player, Chinese protagonist, mainly from the male protagonist's perspective. Free story, just writing what I want to write.] [Timeline runs from 2018 to 2026, the very recent past. Other teams' championships will be affected.

This is really good; the writing is very mature, completely unlike the light and artsy feel suggested by the title. A must-read for Arsenal fans.

It was quite interesting, but it was too long to finish. Also, it started as a funny and happy little dog, but suddenly turned into a cold and ruthless demon king in the middle, which felt a bit pretentious.

At first, it was quite interesting, but then it just kept going "werwerwer," which became quite awkward. Also, the male lead is a somewhat pretentious and domineering CEO type [question mark].

It's too old-fashioned; the content is a bit outdated. It contains a lot of derogatory remarks about female fans, treating them as tools to highlight the male lead's charm and then putting them down [question mark]. Aside from that, it's not bad and quite watchable.
6 [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.

It's entertaining and interesting. But there was a point where it got boring. I feel that football novel authors need a main plot. If it's just about the matches, then how do you keep readers interested in the next season after the protagonist wins the season's top honor, or even the national team honor?
8 [Football] I’m Just That Good at Assists [足球]我就是能助攻 Wind Southward风斯图南No CP1.3M WordsCompleted Pinned: Can you all call me Feng Sibei? I can’t change my pen name right now, but I want it to be Feng Sibei. Thanks, girls! Also known as: The Spineless Midfielder Play Football! All you need is legs! A sharp-tongued football fan transmigrates into a Bayern youth forward with a broken ankle. His running is youth-team level, and his shooting is neighborhood-pitch level.

It's a decent, satisfying read. What struck me most was the author's constant use of the "left and right are both male" trope—so corny! Ignoring the occasional moments of masculinity, it's a pretty good book. It's far better than the new book, *Milan's Rebellious Son*.

I'd give it 5 stars, since it was my first time reading a football novel. I saw comments about Inzaghi's good looks, so I searched for his photos and was blown away—I never thought athletes could be so handsome! This led me to read more football novels and watch more football matches. I stopped reading when I saw him dating Totti; the later parts felt a bit boring, but the beginning was quite interesting. What impressed me most was how the female lead expanded her influence through photography and writing football commentary.
10 The Queen’s Choice [Football] 女王的抉择[足球] Gu Ji顾几Romance2.3M WordsCompleted A Female Coach’s Road to the Top Notes: 1. Set in a highly fictionalized version of the real world. Football plays a substantial role, and there’s a bit of everything. 2. The romance is complicated and turbulent, with plenty of melodrama. 3. The follow-up, World Cup Special, is complete. 4. This is a self-indulgent fantasy. It’s very long and hasn’t been revised, so there may be plot holes. Please bear with me. [Series One] Theme: 23.3kFavorites23kClicks/ch43.3kGifts

The writing is very good and mature, but I only read a little bit because I really disliked the second male lead's character; he seemed pretentious and I didn't know what he was trying to impress. Also, I read in the comments that his emotions might affect his performance in the competition, which I didn't like.

The chapters featuring the protagonist's drunken friend are filled with long, unnecessary paragraphs; the author himself seems to have forgotten the protagonist wasn't drinking, constantly describing a hangover smell on his breath. The quality declines significantly in later chapters featuring Courtois, making it difficult to distinguish between Courtois and the sarcastic Snape, which is embarrassing. Furthermore, the protagonist's method of conquering the Belgian national team is inexplicably threatening them with a gun and a baseball bat...

This is much, much better than the previous book in the series. First of all, the protagonist is older, so he's not as naive anymore; instead, he has a sense of being a mentor or idol to various football stars. His intelligence has also increased; he's a member of the Milan Knights, and his analyses are insightful and influential. Furthermore, his physical relationship with Inzaghi has become more intimate and has quite a bit of tension.
