1. 1 球 [Football] The Ball Demon [足球]球魔 A Lifetime of Holding White一世执白Danmei (BL)4.0M WordsCompleted He is unruly by nature and hates the media digging into his family and upbringing. He has never been popular. His teammates call him a “bad-tempered dog,” while his opponents crown him with titles like “Satan” and “Caesar.” He is the center of attention, a superstar striker, a genius midfielder. He radiates a dazzling brilliance that no one can ignore. He has a dream: to wear the blue-and-white jersey and soar freely across the Pampas. In the end, his dream comes true. This is the story of a pla 28.9kFavorites92.3kClicks/ch274.1kGifts

   In my opinion, this is the author's best work. The author excels at sports-themed content, but the romance in most of their works isn't really to my taste; they tend to be more of a wish-fulfillment, overpowered protagonist style. However, the characters' wild and flamboyant personalities perfectly fit their personalities, and at nearly four million words, it's truly remarkable.

2. 2 老 [Football] The Old Master Is My Dad [足球]老佛爷是我爹 PolitikerinDanmei (BL)1.1M WordsCompleted Coming next: [Football] At Bayern, You Can Even Play Football Yu Wei woke up one day to find himself an orphan in Spain.

   Curator note

   I was completely drawn in by the title. There's another book with a similar theme, but that one has a more overpowered protagonist. I only finished the first part about Fabrizio; the writing is smooth, and the plot developments were as expected. The transfer to the Bundesliga and the third part then reconnect with the title, but feedback suggests the third part isn't very good, so I didn't continue reading.

3. 3 把 [Football] Packing My Genius Boyfriend into a Handbag [足球]把天才男友装进提包 Qi Mo起默Danmei (BL)821k WordsOngoing As the 2019 summer transfer window was about to close, Real Madrid made a small signing. Real Madrid fans: A cause for nationwide celebration! Real Madrid signed a defensive midfielder! Casemiro, Federico Valverde, and others all liked the news. L'Equipe: "Auxerre manager: Real Madrid stole our talented center-back for three million euros." Auxerre players, Ramos, Varane, and others all liked the news. Wait, Ramos, you... Hey, Valverde, why did you like it too? A talented defensive midfielder 6.1kFavorites6.4kClicks/ch7.1kGifts

   It's rare to see a story specifically focused on Courtois's romantic pairing, and the Real Madrid background is quite well-developed, with a fresh setting and narrative. It's a shame the updates were inconsistent before, but they've recently resumed. Those interested can check it out.

   [Recommended Author] I especially love simulator-themed games. The starting tags, the unlockable rating and badge system during the simulation, and the six-yuan first recharge—these fun details really resonated with me. However, the author mentioned that they will reduce the simulator elements in future installments and focus more on the protagonist's story. Although it's an episodic story, the author has differentiated each character, making them highly recognizable. Looking back, Julian's storyline is the one that left the deepest impression on me. These days, hard-working protagonists are rare, and it's even rarer to portray players with mediocre talent; this is a subversion of typical tropes. It seems the author really dislikes repetition, and these days, authors on major platforms who are willing to continuously innovate and refuse to use formulaic writing are few and far between.

5. 5 我 [Football] My Game Save Has Become Reality?! [足球]我的游戏存档成真了？！ Coconut Breeze Gold Bar椰风金条No CP808k WordsOngoing This novel will be joining VIP on April 30, with a 10,000-word update. Thanks for your support~~ I’m Lin Qi, a forest ranger. My everyday routine: patrol the mountains, prevent fires, and listen to birdsong. Of course, I play games now and then too. Then I started having dreams: in them, I was the manager of Torino FC. I couldn’t even dream big. Why not Real Madrid or Manchester United? No, it had to be this team, which had just clawed its way back into Serie A, while its owner wanted to sell t 12.3kFavorites13.5kClicks/ch92.3kGifts

   Curator note

   [Recommended Author] I've been following this Serie A storyline recently, and I really enjoy the dual narrative of events both on and off the field, especially the daily life of searching for local delicacies after the game. Also, the protagonist's other identity as a forester is quite interesting; you can tell from the writing that he has experience with such work. The author of *The Big Parrot* is very recognizable; you can see the author's unique thinking and writing style. The author is highly insightful, and there's a subtle, dry humor between the lines. It doesn't just focus on football; it expands on many other topics. In my opinion, this is the author's best work and my favorite. As for why I don't recommend "The Big Parrot," it feels like it turned into an outline-style book in the later stages. Although it's quite long, the second half is particularly tedious, but the beginning is still very enjoyable. I liked the stories about unrequited love, the powerful punches of the Big Badger, and the band's performance.

It was created in honor of Yan Jing, the greatest legendary head coach in the club's history. Reader's note: A competitive sports story about a coach, with an attack-oriented protagonist. No System or supernatural powers, but a powerful golden finger. One-on-one romance, slow-burn, happy ending. Link to the next book below.

   This is an older book, and some of the writing style might take some getting used to. However, if you're interested in Dortmund, you might want to give it a try. The book is still ongoing and is perfect for when you're looking for something to read.

One day, after his team wins a match by a huge margin, he swims into a zoo that night to beat up alligators and gets caught. The only one kind enough to bail him out is the Brazilian Saint of a teammate: “Come on, make a clean breast of it and you'll be treated leniently.” Protagonist: “Yeah, I've been beating up alligators since two years ago.” Kaka draws a sharp breath: “You're so cruel.” Protagonist: “If wild alligators can beat up 5.7kFavorites13.7kClicks/ch4kGifts

   It's been half a year since the last update, so it feels like it's been abandoned. The protagonist is in a very eccentric mental state, quite humorous and worth reading. It's short, only 30,000 words, perfect for taking some time to read and experience the author's mental state.

   Curator note

   This was the first Milan football novel I ever read, and it holds irreplaceable significance for me. The story is now six or seven years old, and unusually, it uses the team president's perspective as the protagonist. Rather than simply focusing on the competition on the field, I particularly appreciate the off-field descriptions—the delicate portrayals of Milan's cityscape, various Italian delicacies, and even the parts related to pig farming. Back then, it was thanks to the author's meticulous explanations that I gradually became familiar with the Milan team. The story is still incomplete, but there are epilogues depicting the final chapters. It was previously banned but has now been unbanned. Those interested or looking for something to read can check it out.

   [Author Recommendation] Reading Creamy Bubble's books always evokes a feeling similar to playing Stardew Valley, offering a unique sense of peace. Her stories are generally set in small sports teams, telling the tales of ordinary people, touching even without celebrity embellishment. However, the side stories in this book are quite controversial; read at your own discretion.

    This is an extremely long novel about a beloved football player; I only read up to the Premier League stage before giving up. Let me first mention some of the novel's highlights: The portrayal of the protagonist in her childhood is particularly outstanding. The affection that the other members of the group have for Tibbo is gradual and the emotional groundwork is complete and natural. It is clear that the origin of everyone's favoritism is not there. However, the biggest feeling after reading it again is that there is too much repetition. Along with his other book, "Little Dogs," a large number of plots and detailed descriptions are very similar. Even though the story is divided into different arenas and different career stages, there is a lack of enough memorable and differentiated design. But it is not bad. It is difficult to objectively judge its quality.

    This is a story with a female protagonist transmigrating into a male character, making it very immersive. Aside from his athletic skills, the protagonist is also highly skilled in fanfiction writing, making him a very likable character. The interactions between the characters are natural and comfortable. It features a character who grows and develops, a unique story, and is highly readable. However, I personally don't ship the two main characters, so I stopped reading after they became a couple.

    I initially read it because of Modric, but after finishing it, I wasn't particularly impressed by the storyline of The Magic Flute. What really resonated with me was the early, vividly depicted first love, especially the ambiguous and tangled love scenes involving pantyhose—a genre the author excels at. If you're looking for a lot of dark and angsty romance, just check out the author's two Bundesliga novels. Nina's books are generally all completed; she's very reliable. She wrote about Degas for a long time and revised it several times, but she still managed to finish it (though it was so dark and angsty that I didn't finish it, sorry).

    The early reading experience of this novel was outstanding, with the competitive atmosphere vividly portrayed, reminiscent of the exhilarating feel of sports novels on Qidian.com, making it very engaging. Unfortunately, as the story progressed into the later stages, the overall writing style became formulaic, focusing only on the events on the field, losing the spark of the early chapters, and resulting in a noticeable decline in reader enjoyment. Another issue affecting the reading experience is the author's long periods of inactivity and frequent delays in updating. The book was started quite early, and the long update cycles gradually eroded the initial enthusiasm for reading. Even after updates resumed, it was difficult to recapture that initial interest, and I haven't been able to finish it yet.

    [If you like the main character, please focus on this series] This is a long novel about the Milan team's darling that started quite early. The main character has emotional connections with almost all the players in the team, each one highly differentiated and so emotionally rich that I felt like I was drowning in it. Compared to the Liverpool and Bundesliga players, the Milan Gaja is more extroverted, while the Bundesliga Gaja focuses more on inner struggles. The Milan Gaja follows his own feelings more, while the initial Liverpool Gaja was relatively normal (?, I don't know how to put it, it feels like the author's state has been sliding along an unpredictable trajectory...).

    This work is distinct from other works on Jinjiang Literature City. All the characters in the story are original fictional characters. Although some of the character designs vaguely resemble real-life sports stars, deducing the prototypes of the characters is a unique and interesting aspect of reading. This story features a female protagonist and is not a romance/otome game, making it quite rare. The author, Creamy Bubble, favors original world-building with greater freedom, rarely using well-known legendary football stars or top clubs as the core setting, nor deliberately piling up classic football moments. This writing style brings a fresh feel, breaking away from the fixed formulas of common football novels, making it a worthwhile read.

    I've been following this novel for quite a while now, and I can't remember many of the plot details. It wasn't the kind of story with great conflict or intense moments, so it's hard to pick it up again now. But I really enjoyed reading it back then, and I loved the way the story unfolded slowly. I guess when I can calm down a bit, I'll pick it up again and enjoy reading it again.

    Many paragraphs in the article lean towards a popular science documentary style, lacking dramatic and exciting plot conflicts, but you can clearly feel that the author has spent a lot of effort researching and organizing information, and the writing is very meticulous, which does not affect the overall recommendation. What impressed me most about this book was its rich and detailed content. It's clear the author consulted numerous sources and possesses a deep understanding of the football era in which the story takes place, going beyond mere "meme-making." The narrative structure is also cleverly designed, employing a dual-timeline approach that introduces many renowned coaches. While most football-related works focus on the mature, established coaches, this book emphasizes their rarely mentioned early, formative years, making it much more engaging. It's a true gem, not particularly long, yet its structure is complete and well-organized. The number 14 jersey serves as a symbolic clue to the soul's transformation, flowing smoothly like a cinematic transition.
