Sorry guys, I don't think I may be able to do stats any more. I'm leaving home for some months due to studies and I may not have good Internet or no Internet.

Qidian China Stats: Rating: Not Rated /// Chapters: 101 (finished) Years written: 2003 /// 82.32 million clicks Tags: sports, football This is Lin Hai Ting Tao's first work. Also by him: Godfather Of Champions

I am revising my review thanks to popcornlol who confirmed this was completed (not hiatus, as I had thought before after finishing it). This one is a very short novel with only 101 chapters, and at the end of book, it leaves you wanting the author to tie up the loose ends. Our MC had just won the national soccer championships when he has to transfer schools. One of his old friends also decide to transfer. Anyways, the team on the new school is relatively bad, and the first part of the book is focused on shaping it up through matches to make it competitive. There's the usual trope of the pretty team manager, and the unexpected wins against public expectations. I was hoping for something like the old anime/manga "Hungry Heart" with regard to how an underdog shocks the nation, but it definitely isn't as good.

We have so few sports related novels being translated, but tbh, the synopsis for this one was disappointing. Hopefully it’s just the synopsis that’s bad. I’ll delete this review if it turns out better than expected.

Good so far as chapter 15 so looking forward to more. 101 chapters is too short. Is there not more years for school and soccer play and more challenges to meet? Hoping release pace will be good so neutral rating.

More like become a legend...really looking forward to the soccer novels..hope they don't let me down.Giving my complete support.. Go team ⚽⚽

Reveal spoiler

Godfather of Champions better than this novel. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . A lot better than this novel.....................

The picture has the author as "Lin Hai Ting Tao" same as another book we have at the same time (different picture) here to vote on.. we really should get multiple authors though and have total votes RESET to 0 each week on any that did not win the prior week, otherwise even horrible books will eventually get passed because their votes continually add up! anyway, the author on the cover picture says Lin Hai Ting Tao, but underneath the book in typing /text on the webpage it has someone else, named Forest Listens to the Waves. My voting was base don not reading the chapters as they have not been released here in English for me TO read, how can i then vote on things such as character development? I did give Translation Quality a 1 because the book name is not same as the typed name of author below it. but the rest I have 3, exactly average not good nor bad, since I haven't read any chapters, then not being released yet! I am not into reading a book based on soccer, BOTH of them say same soccer so PASS. Be well!
