I Am Valdi

I saw someone playing a word chain game in the comments section, and it's got thousands of replies. Anyone want to play? I'll start one. 😃

Having read books for so many years, this is the first time I've felt so disappointed and frustrated. Such a great idea turned out like this; it's heartbreaking. I don't know if the author is a football fan, but I'm sure he's never played football, at least not any competitive sport. Regardless of professional status, anyone playing a match wouldn't behave so disgracefully.

To be honest, the early part of this book was indeed a rare gem that made me laugh. But what happened to the author later on? Just because of a ridiculous system, the author wrote the protagonist who could recklessly fight and act silly, leading to a series of suspensions, especially during the Champions League semi-finals? Where is the team's interests and glory, and the fans' support? Is it just because of a system that he can train carelessly, and be funny for the sake of being funny?

The beginning was okay, but the later parts felt forced and a bit awkward. The luck was too much; the protagonist's explanation couldn't hold water 😰. The World Cup incident with the head coach was a bit much; he'd definitely be investigated. And the linesman sleeping felt too contrived.

I remember reading this book a long time ago, and it's even on my bookshelf, but I don't know why I didn't subscribe to the whole set. Now that I've read it again, I understand why… The beginning was okay, but it got increasingly awkward towards the end…

In the Western capitalist world, the sheer power of a clean-cut billionaire is something most people probably don't understand. There's a saying in the capitalist world: there's nothing money can't buy, especially not things that aren't illegal. If the protagonist truly is worth billions, absolutely no football association referee or official would dare to do anything unfair to him.

The initial part about Gravesen's transfer was passable, but after the character's renewed entanglement with lesbians and the inclusion of romantic subplots, it became increasingly unreadable. A newcomer under 18, still growing, is already caught up in love and romance, lacking any mature perspective of someone reborn. It simply shows the author's inability to write well; the plot keeps veering off course. I couldn't continue reading.

Having read thirty or forty chapters, here are some brief points about the shortcomings of the opening chapters. First, there are quite a few flaws, mostly minor ones. For example, the word choice is exaggerated and childish, and some words are inappropriate.

This kind of silly writing style is really hard to read. I can understand how silly someone can be off the field, but doing silly things during the game is unacceptable.

After reading 27 chapters, I feel that the author's descriptions of the villains are so idiotic. One resentful look in their eyes... And they're not on the same level as the normal plot. Am I the only one who feels this way?
