Win the Championship? I Only Know Court Intrigue

Clickbait title, no palace intrigue whatsoever, the whole story is just about a clown as the main character 🤡

It was completely baffling. It felt like the protagonist was just waiting for the opponent to feed, then inexplicably making godlike plays. It felt like those old novels where the protagonist is reborn as a Silver or Gold-ranked player and then enters the game, given a so-called palace intrigue veneer, but the actual palace intrigue was utterly nonexistent. Another piece of filler.

Winning depends entirely on the opponent's mistakes or anticipation.

It's a bit disgusting to watch; isn't the main character just throwing the match?

You need to achieve some results before you can be promoted, so you can get more system insurance money. As a result, when the protagonist was still in the third cup, he started trying to fix matches and clashed with the system.

Insults are considered palace intrigue? You might as well learn from the factory's suicidal tactics. And then there's Kim Ra-fu's complete severing of ties with Nakano. This book only has the 🤡author and the 🤡protagonist.

Did the author do any research before starting the book? There have been books like this about winning against all odds before, and they were heavily criticized by readers, getting labeled as match-fixing and the stigma is impossible to shake off.

If your main character can act like this in the early stages, will you still act like this once you reach the World Championship? That would be truly disgusting.

Why did they lose several games to JDG after playing for a week? This is just feeding them shit.

After watching a major match, all I feel is negative emotions. What's the point of reading a novel then? Trying to become popular with this kind of writing is really wishful thinking.
