   This is a novel by the same author as "Assist," featuring a male protagonist without a romantic pairing. It seems that sports novels are best read without romantic pairings.

3. 3 钻 Ace of Diamond: Our Generation 钻石王牌之我们的世代 Bittercress碎米荠No CP1.2M Words There will be a long break in updates. Please don’t wait for me. I’ve been working overtime constantly, and I’m already getting white hair. T.T I’ve barely had time to turn on my computer lately. I’m very sorry. The chapters are locked because I plan to revise the story. My writing was poor and there were too many plot holes before. I’ll unlock them once I’ve finished revising. I’ve already started.

   A pitcher with flesh and blood; I've even started reading soccer novels because I'm bored with baseball.

   I've recently become obsessed with Korean comics, but the machine translations are too hard to understand. Then I discovered this one, and it's incredibly captivating.

   As expected of this author, I cried while reading it. Thankfully, it had a happy ending. I'm not very familiar with the Resident Evil background, but that didn't affect my reading experience.
