Basketball: The Chosen Victim

The Bucks played against Bodog, and even though they knew they were being fouled, they still couldn't retaliate. They got angry, got injured, got into a fight, were suspended, and then mentally won. They were both terrible and thought they were smart, completely unaware of their own stupidity.

This book is quite addictive. The writing is commendable, but to control the pace and increase word count, the protagonist's stats keep dropping, and even with rotation bonuses, he's not strong enough to be considered a superstar. 😓 Then, to pad the word count, slow the pacing, and force a lot of excitement, they add all sorts of forced torture for the protagonist, followed by a long, drawn-out…

Wait, what the hell is this? Why is it like a fantasy story about a broken engagement, where everyone in the alliance is an enemy, and then I only got second place?

There were too many random additions; the entire match was written as a hodgepodge, with comments, trash talk, and inner monologues all jumping around. It was too chaotic and ruined the viewing experience.

Negative reviews, do not enter.

The protagonist's games are either tie-breakers, near-game-winners, or just a lapse in performance. Since the protagonist is a data stream from a system panel, even if his jump shots are heavily suppressed, there should be some logic to it. The previous two jump shots were supposed to trigger badge effects, but he only scored around twenty points against Anthony?

The subject matter is relatively novel, directly confronting LeBron James's Big Three era. However, the reliance on the system and pay-to-win elements is somewhat lacking. I'd give it an 8 out of 10. The character is hardworking and composed, and also handsome and rich, which is good for a satisfying read.
