Its alright, but not great. The translation is good, and there are no problems in the grammar. However, one of the characters in the book is Kobe Bryant, who is portrayed very differently to how i imagined him to be, and more like what a chinese author would think him to be. Slightly unrealistic in some of the world building aspects, and about 8 chapters and 2 months in, i srill dont know the names of the MCs family, or anything about the MCs family. 6.2 out of 10

Also, the fact that it is set in the US, is a bit of a bummer, because the author has no idea how americans interact. There aint any of this hardass, lamesss jokes, and in general is awkward as ****. Like ppl dont go crazy and start shouting how good he is after someone has a good workout in bball, they just hype them up and a few pats on the back.

this novel is absolutely amazing ... it is quite different than other sports novel, shows a lot of interactions... the character development could have been a bit better (like giving an idea about his past... there is just small hints about his background which could have been developed more) ... it is quite different to read but also quite captivating ... i really hope it is further continued.

(Will alter if needed) This story idea seems a little stupid. I'm desperate so I'll try it but if I don't follow up it wasn't good. . . . . . .

The story of the novel is quite straightforward which is basketball. Simply basketball. This correlates with his character, as from my perspective, the protagonist is emotionless and sole pursuit in life is basketball. The world is self-explanatory (USA). Honestly, this novel is quite boring. There's nothing besides basketball, which I understand is the whole theme and all, but what about his family? the audience's (people in the novel) perspective? romantic interests? Essentially, he's like a robot.

Ch60 - It's about basketball - it's simple - Light binge - MC - He's decent and acts his 40yr old age, hasn't used his modern knowledge yet but is aware of it, lacking a few grains in the personality department Plot - Simple, become a NBA player and get a fair-skinned rich and pretty wife - This is repeated a few times Author - Okay but does do a narrator ramble from time to time but has done his history System - It's upgrades, which is nice but Doesn't make sense to me, feels over complicated for some reason. However the MC feels the same Side-Characters - Like a Lettuce only salad - could use more stuff on the plate Romance - None - Author does describe a 16 year as having 'sexy legs' ..... yeh

Don't read the book it's a Chinese propaganda in the first chapter itself I have vomited twice by the cringe that they talked about the chinese. Wow Chinese are very brave wow we are very humble. the **** you are humble you are the most shitty country that is taking other country rights openly and saying you are humble. Fuck I am Outta here.

I really love sports novels generally and this ones really good so far the translation is amazing all the characters have some flaws for possible humor aspects I find it funny most of the time. Also not a all powerful MC which is really nice and you get to see him grow along with some of the side characters. The other characters are really well flushed out and appear more then three times they don’t fade into the sunset after just one chapter and never heard from again another plus. In short would love for this novel to be fully translated if possible. ~🐱

SUPERNOVA STRIKER

“…How is he so good at it? He’s young, and he’s not particularly good physically. Does that make sense?” The man’s question was valid. However, that question was only asked when people did not know the newly appeared Shin Seong, Yoo Ji-woo. “You don’t know Yujiu? You don’t even know his nickname?” “…What, what’s your nickname?” “The next Maradona, the future of Korean soccer, fraudulent characters, and-” The last answer was drowned out by the cheers of the audience. However, the answer was just as I heard. Because everyone was shouting that nickname in unison. “SUPERNOVA!”

Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters

Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride. Congratulations, for as you read these lines, you have witnessed the whole lives of many great basketball players. This pronunciation was embodied when Stephen Curry, after facing defeat in 2021, claimed that no one would want to face them the following season; When Tim Duncan was convinced before the start of the 2014 Finals that they would not mess up; When Kobe Bryant promised at Old Buss's memorial to take the Lakers to the playoffs; When Nowitzki, shedding his label as a soft player, retreated to the locker room in tears at night; When Kevin Garnett let out a skyward howl after holding the championship trophy; When the 2004 Detroit Pistons won and the F4 Lakers lost… Our story begins in an era when pride still mattered.
