   Still watching, 4 for now, might change after watching. Why a 4? First, I really enjoyed the plot and the protagonist's personality. The friendship storyline was also exceptionally well-written, with both the national team and club aspects being outstanding. However, the themes of family (deceased) and romance feel somewhat redundant, especially since the synopsis states there's little romance; in reality, there is quite a bit, and their presence is significant. But considering the male and female leads' settings were likely conceived together, this is understandable. It's just that everyone's acceptance of this aspect is different, which is probably the main reason for the low number of favorites. While there's a considerable amount of writing about romance, the process of falling in love isn't very well-developed. However, given the premise of "I created an original male and female lead pair," this issue is indeed prone to arise. Regarding family, it feels like the overall intention was to create a solitary background to facilitate acceptance of the romance with the female lead. The setting is somewhat controversial, but the plot outside the press conference is similar to "The Return of the Dragon King" (though this doesn't significantly impact reading experience). There are frequent abrupt scene transitions, which I understand are intended to enrich the language, but often create reading difficulties.

It's a bit of a cliffhanger, but very entertaining.

   It was a free read, but I didn't like it. I read it after a recommendation, and all I can say is [I'm speechless]. Those who like it don't watch sports. It has nothing to do with whether it's a fanfic or not, but apart from the main character, everyone else is just a tool, and it has nothing to do with who the fan is, right? It may sound a bit arbitrary, but it truly reflects my feelings. First of all, this game feels too much like the Fourth Calamity simulator. It lacks connection and interaction with other characters, featuring numerous instances of one-sided worship and near-adoration. It also frequently elevates the protagonist by belittling other characters, a method I personally dislike. I think it's okay for casual viewing, suitable for those who enjoy watching without a second thought and only care about the protagonist.

   First of all, the second playthrough's bombs are notorious. Following the usual practice, I would definitely give it one star and then clear the bombs. But the first playthrough was just so incredibly well-written... Pearl Bear... So good that I'd try to cut it apart... As a football fanfic, it's definitely below 3 stars (plus I think some characters are very out of character), but as a simulator, it's excessively excellent. By the way, although it's not a romantic pairing, I'm totally shipping it: because I feel this is definitely not a one-sided love story. The Emperor's love for football and the little bear are strongly intertwined. Although he claims to go wherever the little bear goes, in reality, he's the one who keeps the little bear by his side. He'll even come back to play football to stand up for the little bear. And it really fits the roles of Emperor and Empress perfectly, it's amazing! It can only be said that the Emperor's life isn't entirely about football; he himself is definitely more important than football. His heart belongs to himself, but I don't think there's any real difference between football and the little bear. It would be such a shame if this book wasn't in the top 3 of this list if the author hadn't self-destructed during the second reading. But I recommend everyone who can manage to watch this once. I'm really ashamed to be praising it like this.

   Why do so many authors shatter beautiful things...? They include completely unnecessary plot points, the sole purpose of which is to cool down the reader's enthusiasm. Regarding the plot point, if we consider the time frame of them cooking and eating around midnight, then this story would undoubtedly be a perfect 10/10 and I would recommend it to everyone. However, after that point, I will never recommend this story again and I don't understand why other readers who like this plot would also appreciate it. The extra star is for my previous enthusiasm for this article and the surprises it brought me.

   Curator note

   I just finished watching the World Cup, and then suddenly I was sold to Bayern Munich. I'm a bit stunned. I'll just keep skipping around. To be honest, I wrote this story very... Hastily... Some scenes ended abruptly without much setup... Before the World Cup, we had just won the Champions League. The next chapter was about selling him... It was sold out in one chapter! Do you know how confused I was when I finished watching the final and found out the next chapter's title was "Transfer to Bayern Munich"? I've skipped through the list and seen over 70 main characters... And the synopsis even mentions a red card in the national team... I'm currently reading this book, and I'm only continuing because of the prince's storyline. If it weren't for this great plot and the Muller pairing, it would only be three stars... To be honest, my emotional journey while watching it can be summarized as follows: the plot was good, so I kept watching - it went out of character and I didn't want to continue - I kept watching - I didn't want to continue - and as a result, I never really focused on watching it. The most significant issue with this book isn't the simplistic recounting of matches. While the match descriptions are minimal, consisting mostly of commentary, which I can accept, the problem lies in the complete lack of detail. This distorts the narrative and easily pulls the reader out of the story. For example, the fact that Beckham would send his football heir (who was also the captain of both the second team and the German U17 team) abroad in 2007 is quite problematic. However, this could be attributed to guilt, which is understandable. But there are other issues, such as some Milan players not speaking English/his handsome son who resembles Beckham (sorry), and Germans over 17 years old not drinking beer while eating ( ). Furthermore, I feel the timelines are unclear, largely due to inadequate environmental descriptions; it's just a chronological account of events. Yes, I myself would have some concerns about these points. However, if you're reading it as a football story rather than football fanfiction, then these are perfectly acceptable concerns because they don't affect the reading experience. I might change my review after I finish reading it.

    It's finished! Hooray! It's absolutely amazing! Below is my reading experience. BP, told in the first person, contains some fictional elements and extensive descriptions of past experiences, making it enjoyable even for those unfamiliar with the two main characters as many iconic scenes are faithfully recreated. The emotional scenes are excellent and highly recommended. The game content itself is relatively simple. Then there's this book I have a lot to say (very personal opinion). When I first read it, I finished it but didn't really take it to heart. Firstly, I don't really enjoy romantic descriptions, and I love watching matches. This book doesn't focus much on football after the protagonist's rebirth; it's mostly used as a garnish for the romance. Secondly, I was more eager to see the plot developments after the rebirth, and I already knew those famous scenes, so I quickly skimmed through the flashbacks. Therefore, after my first read, I only had a vague impression of the plot and didn't really like it; I'd probably give it 4 stars then. However, recently, for other reasons, I reread it. This time, I read it very carefully, sentence by sentence. I found the various flashbacks very engaging, and besides objectively recounting the experiences, it added a lot of subjective, romantic descriptions. Besides the relationship between the two main characters, I could also feel the author's love and dedication towards them, which was quite touching. ❤️ Because I was able to read it so attentively, I could also appreciate the author's fluent writing style and varied vocabulary. In short, it's a great fanfiction, and I'll wait patiently for it to finish before reading the next one.

    I take back my comment about Red and Black being inferior to Goalkeeper in the Goalkeeper section. I hadn't read much of this book at the time, so that's why I gave that evaluation. If we disregard the football aspect, I think Goalkeeper is better, but I can't, so I think this book is better. The plot is very enjoyable and doesn't have too many agonizing moments (which is a very good advantage in football fan fiction because too many authors like to create unnecessary agonizing moments). By the way, I feel that many times the football matches are written a bit too much like a diary, and the characters other than the main characters aren't very well-developed (this isn't writing advice, just a rant, but even so, it's much better than many books that crammed in original plots).

    Milan has no romantic pairing, so it's pretty standard. It's worth buying, but I feel there are some aspects that could have been developed further, such as his relationship with Shevchenko.

    The main characters are Kaka and I'm also a Kaka fangirl/fangirl. The main characters are a bit crazy and many of the plot points have that kind of intense feeling, but if you can accept it, it's very interesting. For me, it was like finding unexpected sweetness, which was a pleasant surprise. I really like some of the plot settings (in the spoiler-filled rant below). Since the protagonist is Chinese, there will be some storylines involving the Chinese national football team. The protagonist will suddenly retire due to an accident, then make a fortune, acquire AC Milan, and become its president, etc. These elements might be exciting for some readers, but they're a drawback for me. However, since this is a free novel, I've made up for it. (The following contains spoilers, but I really wanted to say it) The protagonist's long-standing unrequited love for Kaká stemmed from Kaká's straightforwardness at the time, without the presence of his ex-wife and child. I personally liked this because Kaká truly loved his child. Without this experience (including the troubles caused by his ex-wife), his personality wouldn't have been as rich. Therefore, I think retaining this aspect was good. It also made me realize the author is a die-hard fan; many authors would simply discard their favorite characters. While I have reservations about the protagonist's sudden retirement due to an accident, I think the unexpected conflict itself was excellent, reasonably resolving the ex-wife issue. The scene of divorce papers flying everywhere was beautiful. However, [clown] the plot point where the protagonist, who was supposed to be leading the national football team, was injured and then rejected by the team really annoyed me... But it's unavoidable whenever the national football team is mentioned... Hmm...

    It's a good read, but the downsides are the female-to-male transmigration and the excessive emphasis on past lives (for example, the female protagonist's hometown is Xi'an, and the male protagonist's hometown is also Xi'an, with detailed landmark descriptions and scenes of him taking his teammates back to China). This isn't just about past and present lives; the male protagonist also has gender dysphoria in this life...? There's also the plot point where I discussed being diagnosed with gender dysphoria with a friend. I don't understand why this gender dysphoria setting has to be emphasized. Reincarnation is one thing, but why keep it and keep bringing it up...? I'm speechless; I'll pretend this setting doesn't exist. And honestly, because the connections to the previous life are so detailed, it feels like the author is using a body double, and the author is clearly a dream woman. I still don't understand why it has to be so obvious... Aside from that, it's quite well-written.

    Many people recommended this book, and I did too. I bought the whole thing but haven't actually finished it yet; I've only just gotten to the part where he leaves Milan... The time at Lazio was so wonderful—attending Nesta's wedding and being carried on someone's shoulders as a child were incredibly memorable. But it got a bit boring in the middle. I don't really understand why they had to create another original character. It's not that they couldn't have, but the other character's personality wasn't appealing to me, and writing too much of it made the story diverge and lose focus. It became quite boring to read about the protagonist. The only explanation is that Italy was really weak later on, and the protagonist couldn't carry the team alone and needed a helper. I finished watching the Inter Milan part, and when I glanced at the table of contents, I gasped – there's still so much to watch! But I still think the BabyBus part was the best. I still don't understand why they dragged out the second male lead, Xiaolong, and the Champions League loss to him. I thought they could have won the previous year (mainly because the second male lead isn't a good guy either; he's a playboy and almost ruined the protagonist's reputation, which is just ridiculous). [Sigh] I think losing to the historical version is perfectly fine, but losing to the original second male lead is something I really don't understand. And I'm worried that Inter Milan won't have the same character interactions as BabyBus later on, which will make it less enjoyable.

I generally don't read books with a recent timeline, but this one is worth reading.

The humor is more important than the plot, and the episodic format is different from most other recommendations. My favorite part is Ram's. I like stories about ordinary people who work hard. Then it's Sheva's part, then this one, and finally Ma Xiaozui, haha.

    First of all, even if it's not free, it's still at a level where I'd buy the whole book after reading half of it. The protagonist comes from an orphanage, works as a personal apothecary under the guidance of a sage, and then joins Milan. His romantic interest is Maldini. The romance in this book is quite well-written, and the match scenes are also enjoyable. To avoid spoilers, I won't say much. I highly recommend watching it once it's finished airing; I'll definitely watch it again.

    I bought the whole book when I was halfway through reading it, and I'm following the serialization. Rebirth, with a plot involving a character gaining a power boost at crucial moments. The match details aren't written in great detail, but they're still quite enjoyable. I especially like the main premise: Maldini's eldest son.

    Some tweets mentioned that the exciting aspects of this setting weren't fully captured, which I found acceptable. The romance didn't feel abrupt to me either. However, some plot points were too far-fetched for me (for example, one day the protagonist, initially a goalkeeper, suddenly became a center forward after skipping two chapters...). The matches were presented in a very straightforward, narrative style, and while the growth of the character's development was logically sound, I felt the writing was lacking. The romance was stronger than the football content; I wouldn't buy the full book if I skipped through it.
