I see it's a tradition for authors to post a review on their novels, so why not. This is my third web novel series. Some of you may have comes across "How Do You QA Test a Tsundere Android?!" or "God Vessel Online", most likely on RoyalRoads. Can't say any of my fics ever achieved much popularity, though. This is a very experimental story, since nobody else seem to be interested in writing proper Esport stories. That's why I went "I'll do it myself then!" It's pretty challenging to pull this off without any reference to go by, but I'm doing what I can. Any critique, both positive and negative, is more than welcome. I need as much feedback as possible to figure out how to best write this unusual novel. No way I'll be able to figure everything out on my own. RELEASE SCHEDULE: A 3k~5k words chapter a week.

As a Master's (Top 500) League of Legends player in Season 8, I would think I have an edge over other readers in this certain type of genre, so here are my two cents on the novel. The novel itself is great, I thoroughly enjoyed each of the chapters. Good writing along with good pacing makes the story an interesting read. It has decent enough characters and game backstory to make it enjoyable. The story does seem unrealistic to a certain sense. I think a good MOBA story boils down to how much the author itself understands the genre of MOBA's. Although he does explain the basic nitty-gritty of game mechanics, he fails to mention any important or groundbreaking that players with more skill would notice, and that will have an effect on how far the novel can progress linearly. It's fine since these guys are middle schoolers and are still learning about the game, but if he wants to bring this novel from a lighthearted read to an actual quality MOBA novel, it's going to take a lot of work. Overall, still a good read. There's no other MOBA novel to compare this to, so I guess it is a staple. There are things that could be improved, but the things the author does writes, he does correctly.
Truly a great story with a lot of untapped potential. The story, so far, has shown that the main character, Yuel, is strong and not invincible, which is a redeeming quality as it allows alot of different and unique situations. The characters are all different in there own rights. Overall its a great story and has many ways that author can take it
First off this is really well written. Writing about MOBA's can get tricky because you risk a massive info dump, but I think the author has done a great job of it while keeping it interesting. I like the character types, but I feel they are too rigid in their archetype, I would have liked a little more gray and less black/white. Still that is fine and the archetype for the mc is particularly interesting. My real problem with the characters is their age vs how they behave/talk, they definitely behave/talk above their age. I hope the author continues doing such a good job and we get to see a really good coming of age story.
I never review novel before, so i dont know what should i say as well, all i can say is, this novel got a really nice story, nice development, nice character, and many relateable thing if you play some sort of MOBA, author itself have a very consistent update schedule, the quality of story itself keep improving instead of becoming worse like most of series, i cant really think about any cons of this series except for i cant read new chapter everyday haha, Quality > Quantity though.
The novel has an almost professional feel, even though it is not my type of novel, I will definitely check it out for future updates, the characters have a motivation and more importantly, they feel real. The mc might come off as a bit of douche in the initial chapters but that's ok, and world building is very good. and I feel like there is a conspiracy behind the pushing of this game to the mainstream schools if you like gaming novels then this is a must for you to check it out.
WRITING QUALITY 5 STARS: I just can't spot some errors in your work, IT'S PERFECT!!!!! STABILITY UPDATES 3 STARS: Released Ch1 on the month of July and the latest 19 hours ago. The release is not steady. STORY DEVELOPMENT 5 STARS: In the first Chapters, there's already going on, since the plot is unique, the development in this story is refreshing... I just crave for more. CHARACTER DESIGN 4 STARS: As the story goes on, you will gradually be able to get to know the Characters personality. WORLD BACKGROUND 5 STARS: A normal world, no magic or something, just technology. Gave it 5 stars since WE can relate to it. When I read the First Charpter, I added it immediately on my Library.. It is simply promising
A MUST READ ORIGINAL IMHO The story is good. A classic turn on a MOBA story. Even with less real world things the character developments are one of the best. The level of detail inside the game is very good. The characters are also well made up. Instead of just focusing on a main character the story is about a group of friends which is a welcome change. Please review and pour some power stones for the recognition of this story.
Da best story i have read yo! Lol, i love this series too much, i think this novel should get to published wkwkwk, i really. The character grow slowly and steady, yet its not boring af. The mc is not so op, it have the strong side and bad side. Honestly if u are a moba player, this novel should be on your MUST READ library
Wonderful and very deep character background, development and interaction in a normal way. This sets the standard very high and makes a big difference to many novels which only follow the viewpoint of the main character. The game that is being played in the novel is based on DotA and LoL, which makes it easier to follow the story. The world background gives a small minus as it isn't brought up that much, but I guess it isn't possible either as it would be similar, if not identical to Earth. Simply a wonderful read if you have the patience to wait for updates, as the chapters are also quite long!
