This review is part of a review swap and valid as of chapter 20. A sports story usually runs as a coming of age one. And in the end this one does follow that fram. It does, however, start with the cracks showing in the current superstar's performance. There's a second arc which has just started. It's extremely confusing since it more or less reads as an entirely new story. Add that we're overdosed by magical realism out of nowhere and I'm sitting here totally clueless about where this is going. I can't even say if I feel clueless in a good or a bad way. The English used is shaky, tense handling wavering and usage of point of view a bit undisciplined. These aspects all detract from the reading experience. Now for the stars. Writing: Four stars. For the reasons mentioned above. Updates: Five stars. Basically been dumped to site in three chunks three days apart. So not every day but solid. Story: Five stars. With a very nice handoff from one main character to another this is your expected 'a new star is born' kind of story. Well done this far. Character: Five stars. There are just two of them at the moment with a third being introduced. The two main ones are well fleshed out, the third, for obvious reasons, less so. Supporting cast get less screen time. World: Four stars. Something's lacking in the setting. I'm yanking a star because much of the story is set outside the playing field, but only that field gets to become the assisting character, setting, needed for the story. Lastly, here's your chance to experience an unknown sports. Given an overhaul of the English language used I'm expecting a thoroughly pleasant read for anyone interested in sports stories.

It's rare to see a sports story based on one of the famous southeast asian sport. Also, I rarely saw webnovels with Filipino myth included in the story. So far the story is really nice to read and easy to grasp. The world building is still small since there are only few chapters. Overall, this is a promising story and I really look forward to more chapters.

Hi Guys! Author-sama here. If you are a fan of sports novel and love to try something new, I greatly recommend reading this. I have these story boiling in my head since I was in college (way back around year 2009) and It started as a short story presentation for my english teacher Mr. Ulysis Tisado who greatly inspired me that time. In honor to him, I would like to dedicate this book to my teacher Mr. Ulysis Tisado (U-Bear) for candling my almost-gone hope and encouraging me that I can do and reach my dreams. To My family, Richel Commission who stayed with me thru thick and thins and understood me the most, my Parents and ever loving Grand mother Lola Betty. To my brothers in Bond: Ieusef, Jembook, Peleno, Boknoy. Long LEB! and most importantly to Jesus my God Almighty. All glory, honor and praise to him for I am a nobody without him. Cheers and God Bless. Enjoy!

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.

Gravity's Gambit

In a world where basketball is not just a game but a lifeline, Zed Mac rises from the shadows of abandonment to claim his throne as the king of the court. His father, a man driven by power, left Zed and his mother, convinced that his son would never amount to anything. But Zed defied those expectations, becoming a legendary player whose skills captivated the nation of Azagrut on the Khodour continent of Futuristic Parallel. However, just as Zed reaches the pinnacle of his career, a devastating nanobots injury orchestrated by his treacherous teammate, Gib, threatens to shatter his dreams. This betrayal forces Zed to confront the depths of his despair, leading him to a near-fatal encounter with a trial drug designed to heal him. In his darkest hour, he meets the Dimensional Simulator, a sentient system from a civilization 500 years ahead of his time, which offers him a chance to rewrite his fate. As Zed navigates the complexities of recovery, he discovers that the path to glory is fraught with challenges—both on and off the court. With the weight of his past and the expectations of a nation on his shoulders, he must learn to balance vengeance with redemption, and ambition with wisdom. In a society where augmented reality, virtual experiences, and holographic innovations redefine the game, Zed's journey becomes a testament to resilience and the relentless pursuit of greatness. Will Zed reclaim his title and rise above the betrayal, or will the forces of fate and technology conspire against him? Step into a world where basketball is everything, and witness a saga of struggle, triumph, and the magnetic balance of life itself. ------------ I hope you all find fulfillment in reading this piece of work, and I kindly ask for your support in the process.
