Sports Without Borders: When the World Cup Meets Sports Fiction
The World Cup may set soccer alight, but passion isn't confined to the pitch. Basketball, rugby, boxing, sprinting: the thrill that comes around once every four years is here on every page of these sports novels.

Let the cheers echo beyond the stadium and ring out across the pages.
Novels for Every Taste
I have eclectic tastes: fantasy, cultivation, urban fiction, and more. I recommend relatively few romance novels. There are completed books and ongoing works by big-name authors, as well as excellent stories by lesser-known writers. (Please follow my list! Please follow! Thanks for following _(:3"∠❀)_) Hope everyone finds something they enjoy *^_^*

❤❤ My Favorite Power Fantasies and Anime-Inspired Stories!!!
💯 Stories with a satisfying payoff, slice-of-life stories, and anime-inspired fiction, often with a comedic bent. ❤ Multiple female leads, but no brainless characters. Just keep it light and fun! (Heh heh, can I admit this is exactly my taste?) I'm pretty picky. I can't say every book on this list is amazing, but at least they're enjoyable and never boring. If you know any crossover or anime-inspired fanfiction, please recommend it to me.

Watching the World with a Cool Eye
See all kinds of people and things in the world, along with all sorts of imaginative ideas. My standards for choosing novels are simple: first, the writing has to be decent; second, the story has to be good, not too far-fetched or illogical. I collect lots of spatial and rebirth stories, which are rare in print books. Some are still unread, but they’ll come in handy when I run out of things to read. I drop any book as soon as I find a trashy protagonist. People should have principles, self-respe

It's really sad that it ended so abruptly... As a reader who subscribed to almost all of them, I'm not happy. 😐
The opening chapter depicting the youth team's match against Barcelona is almost identical to the "championship godfather" plot in Lin Hai's novels, only with Arsenal replaced by Barcelona, Wenger replaced by Cruyff, the same watering incident, the same opposing coach falling down, the same midfield substitution of a long stud under Wenger's (Cruyff's) instructions, and even Wenger's (Cruyff's)…
It's a bit sad that this book is finished, and I want to say a few words: I didn't subscribe to the whole thing, nor am I a die-hard football fan, but this book is undoubtedly a good one. At least in the eyes of this pseudo-fan, it's very appealing, I really like it, and I'm very happy. I wish the author even greater success with their next book and that it gains even more fans.
After reading The Godfather's Glory, I came to read this older book out of curiosity. And let me put it simply, the author has really improved a lot in recent years.
The beginning of your book is basically copied; the plot is all the same.
Ugh, the author seems to really like writing about team history to pad the word count. Speechless. Too much filler.
Pighead's writing is as bad as ever, without the slightest improvement. It's all about showing off, slapping people in the face, and utterly stupidity-inducing moments. Sigh.
Why does it look like a collaboration between "Championship Godfather" and "Winner Takes All"?
Is this some kind of football novel you wrote?! Angry! Singing! Picking up girls! ~That's it!!
It's undeniable that referees can sometimes be biased, but you don't need to fill the entire book with scenes of biased refereeing. The problem is, even if you're going to write it, it's disgusting to read when someone is clearly biased against you and you can't do anything about it. It's like making the reader passively suffer.
