I Really Didn’t Choose at Random

First of all, this book is really creative. The Teamfight Tactics system has existed for a long time, but combining it with a coach is a first. It's also very interesting to write, and choosing some unusual combinations is something IG (presumably a popular Chinese gaming company) could definitely do, so this book has great potential.

Did the author make a mistake? What's appealing about this book is the novel entertainment effect created by combining Teamfight Tactics synergies and matches; it's essentially a gimmick. Baolan's Blitzcrank, and the five-Forest and Crimson compatibility builds—it's all just endless repetition.

After reading your previous book, here's a suggestion: the protagonist is a coach. To highlight his awesomeness and create exciting moments, his influence on the outcome of matches should be maximized. He should be able to lead any weak team to victory, relying on his abilities. Since it's a coaching story, the matches can be simplified; focus on describing the aspects involving the system.

FPX and SKT never even played against each other in S9, so what makes the author think FPX can't beat SKT? Are you really going to disqualify FPX from the championship? It's like paying to be disgusted. Did I read this novel to see it use SKT as a stepping stone to victory? I read it to see an LPL finals all-Chinese affair. If you're going to write about SKT in the finals, write about S5 or S6!

Although it's supposed to be a wish-fulfillment story, there are too many disgusting parts. I'm dropping it. 1. Even though Baolan underperformed later on, there was no need to so harshly criticize him. To put it bluntly, Baolan is almost the strongest support in IG's history. 2. FPX stopped at the semifinals. Losing to IG is one thing, but losing to SKT is just disgusting.

I was dumbfounded by IG's draft picks in the first game against V5. Kindred was a 10/0 matchup against Jarvan IV, how could they possibly pick Jarvan IV as a second pick? Their top, mid, and jungle picks put them on the path to a comeback. Writing LoL esports novels doesn't require authors to be incredibly skilled, but they should at least have a basic understanding. The protagonist might have cheat codes and can pick whatever they want, but don't treat other professional teams like idiots.

It's frustrating; my writing sounds like that of a casual gamer, or even worse. I won't go into the gameplay details. What impressed me most was the following...

Putting everything else aside, with over 500,000 fans, are there even 10,000 subscribers left? Before, when you had fewer items, having more felt like a huge boost. Now that you have tons of items, you don't feel any effect from them at all. This was already a championship team, and with so many buffs, they're still losing every game.

I can barely understand if your coach hides information from the opponent, the audience, or even other coaches. But you're hiding the lineup for the players? Hiding it??

I knew equipment was important, but later on I didn't feel it was that powerful anymore. Ever since winning the championship, things have been incredibly frustrating, like Xiao Leyan constantly feeding. What's the point of equipment then? I kept getting caught out. I didn't feel any difference in how powerful equipment was later on.
