The protagonist travels back in time and starts playing football alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Sporting Lisbon. While the protagonist is a Ronaldo fan and a complete fan of Ronaldo, they aren't constantly tied to each other; it seems there will be their own career and growth storylines. It's well-written, with a very delicate style. The football story set during their Sporting Lisbon era has a very youthful, school-like feel [applause]. The early episodes feature a lot of daily life and inner monologues, suggesting it will likely be a long story (because the author mentioned it will include Ronaldo's trip to Saudi Arabia, haha).

Kaka's classic work, actually quite well-written, features a protagonist who suppresses his emotions in the early stages, leading to a state of emotional instability. It's a one-sided love story with a focus on the sea and astronomy, but Kaka starts dating after his divorce. The plot involving the Chinese national football team is a bit unbearable [Joker], as it's too different from reality, almost like a science fiction film… CP Kaka

This is a unique simulator-style episodic story, well-written, brutal yet realistic. Each episode features a distinct protagonist with a unique personality.

Life is full of ups and downs, but there are always people moving forward [crying emoji]. The fourth viewing was a bit depressing, I cried... I cried all night while watching it [bursting into tears]. His career path wasn't too bad, but the protagonist's family relationships caused him to have serious psychological problems.

This is a simulator story, currently in the first playthrough, focusing on Lewandowski's brother, with the Leverkusen-Manchester United match in progress.

The premise is interesting; it's rare to see such an explicit and strong connection between football and politics. The national team is Croatia, the club is AC Milan (no transfer), and the timeline starts from the 2006 Calciopoli World Cup, so the protagonist's peak period highly overlaps with Milan's low point [crying emoji]. Add to that the high-pressure family environment that makes the protagonist brooding yet obsessive, and the overall tone is likely to be heavy. No romantic pairing

It's quite interesting. The two are childhood sweethearts, experiencing their innocent first love from their teens. The competition aspect is minor; the focus is more on their everyday romance. Because the female lead is an orphan, she initially doesn't believe in love and suffers from extreme insecurity, but she's gradually warmed by the boy's positive energy. Having been abandoned by her parents at a young age, the female lead has some psychological issues, and after a dramatic twist in the middle, she develops multiple personalities… CP: Cristiano Ronaldo

The emotions (friendship, one-sided love, locker room) are well written. I enjoyed replaying Pearl's save file and starting a third playthrough, perfectly transforming from a player to a coach. There's the one-sided crush of Ballack on the protagonist, but the East German Empress and Emperor are really great to ship… Nijisan feels like he's resenting the moon not shining alone (Hey, that's you, Pearl's die-hard fan, so competitive and strong [doge emoji]). I haven't watched the second playthrough... There seemed to be some issues before the changes; the teammate from the previous playthrough was passing the ball to the protagonist in this playthrough (that's weird).

I started writing this long novel nine years ago, and it's recently resumed updates. The main character is Barcelona vs. Arsenal, so there's a lot of focus on the matches.

Although I only read half of this author's previous books on female coaches and found them too cringeworthy to finish, this one seems to have quite a bit of melodrama [doge emoji]. She starts out as the coach of the Belgian national team, and even Pantyhose seems to have a crush on her. I'll save it up and see how it goes.
