This novel is quite good. I finished it in two days without feeling tired at all; in fact, I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Sports novels need to be written in a lighthearted way, otherwise they get boring after a while ớ ₃ờ. The author also put in a lot of effort in researching. Keep it up!
Last night, after reading "Reverse Growth," I realized it's actually quite well-written. I hope more people will read it so this good book won't be buried. There are really few good basketball novels these days, sigh.
I came here because it was free for a limited time, so I'd like to share my opinion.
It was free today, and I finished watching it all in one day... The update speed is pretty good; I checked the time briefly, and it seems quite stable. The plot progresses well, the writing is good, and the cheat system doesn't disrupt the balance too much. Overall, it's a top-tier read. There's one slightly problematic point I'd like to mention:
This book is well-written, and the competition plot is well-conceived. However, I personally feel the story begins too late in the story; no matter how much the later plot develops, the overall length won't be very long. Several well-known writers who launched sports sections around the same time have also diverted readers, making it difficult to get enough recommendation votes. Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) is really not friendly to new writers. Author, keep up the good work!
The protagonist's name sounds like it belongs to a pervert 😰.
The author will hold out until the end of October when the NBA season starts, and he estimates that more people will read it then.
To be honest, it's not bad, just a bit slow in updates. Keep it up! (ง •̀_•́)ง
A humorous and unconventional basketball sports story
The story, spanning over two hundred chapters, only covers more than half a season, yet it doesn't feel drawn out at all. Every chapter is full of surprises, making it truly captivating. The author's control over the plot is impeccable, delivering humorous moments precisely when they're needed. The female lead is neither overly dramatic nor pretentious, and the romance isn't overemphasized; the author's ability to keep things in perspective is truly remarkable. I highly recommend this book! 🙏
Kobe's gone, it's so damn painful. I was reading your book last night, and I fell asleep before the Ghost Mamba even won the championship. I woke up to the news of Kobe's plane crash. It's really awful. I can't cry, but tears are welling up. A 38-year-old man reminiscing about a 41-year-old man, it hurts a little.
Finally made this decision I don't care what others say As long as there is unwavering conviction in one's heart I'll go to the ends of the earth and then... I know this cut wasn't easy. My heart keeps rehearsing and convincing itself. What I fear most is suddenly saying I want to give up. Eunuchs really need courage to face rumors and gossip.
