All-Round Mid Laner

by Die Zhiling, 蝶之灵

After waking from a car accident, professional esports player Ye Shaoyang found himself transmigrated into a mystifying A/B/O world where he was living as a noobish streamer.

In order to support himself in this new life, Ye Shaoyang decided to return to his old job and climb the ranks in the esports world. With his outstanding talent, he quickly secured a contract with a prestigious club.

But on his very first day with his new team, he unexpectedly presented as an omega right in front of the team’s captain Chi Shuo.

Chi Shuo took his new teammate to the hospital for an examination. Afterwards, the boy looked up at him with a sheen of moisture in his eyes. The corners of his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse as he rasped, “Captain, the doctor says I’m allergic to suppressants. Can you help me?”

“…help you how?” Chi Shuo asked.

Ye Shaoyang simply turned his back to Chi Shuo. “Just give me a temporary mark. Bite me here, thanks.”

Chi Shuo’s expression gradually crumbled.

What was with this omega?! Was a mark something you could hand out so freely?!

Netizens:

[I heard Team Tianhuan’s new teammate is an omega!] [Is he going to play support? Everyone, please be sure to take care of your sweet, delicate, adorable new omega support!] That was the buzz, right up until Ye Shaoyang demonstrated his explosive prowess by single-handedly taking five kills in a competitive match.
Their opponents:

[Sweet? Delicate? This is a demon lord, isn’t it?] [He killed me enough to break my brain. I want to uninstall the game!] [Even if we lose the battle, Ye Shaoyang must die!] [Target that omega! Show no mercy!] It’s time to get to know an omega with flashy and extraordinary skills.
Who says an omega has to be sweet, delicate, and adorable? This omega has the power to blow up the whole league.

3.5 stars

Para empezar, All-round Mid Laner leí desde el día que se estrenó porque la traductora traducía a la par con los raws, asi que la experiencia fue diferente pero como Crab desapareció, dejé de leer la novela, ya que no queria leer con mtl. Aunque este año si me leí basicamente mtl editado por lo que se podia entender.

Mi amor por Chi Shuo y Ye Shaoyang aka Tianhuan Shuoyue y Tianhuan Lieyang nunca se redujo, me alegré de leer su historia de amor, pero tampoco diría que es como que es la pareja que creó el amor para amar y venerar con intensidad. Si bien, el danmei suele predominar el slow burn, pero se centró mas en deportes electronicos, cosa que no esta mal, me divertí leyéndolo aunque en mi corazón sabia que Tianhuan iba a ganar, por lo que la emoción se pierde, tenian que ganar si o si. Creo que es una novela ideal para los lectores que les gusta e-sports, porque la neta, yo no entendí mucho los términos, ah jungler, mid laner, top laner, apoyo, tirador, etc.

Lo que si me encantó fueron los comentarios de los expectadores como también de las shipper de shuoyue y lieyang, porque me representan. GRITE CUANDO XIAO BAI POR ACCIDENTE ENCENCIÓ LA CÁMARA Y TODO EL MUNDO VIÓ COMO LOS CAMPEONES DEL MUNDO SE ANDABAN BESÁNDOSE ldkfoisadufio de mi escena fav, nunca lo olvidaré.

Me tardé leyendo porque solo leía en mis ratos libres, a veces en la casa, pero mayormente en el trabajo leía mientras mis compañeras me miraban raro LKJDFOIASUDFOI Pensé que le pondría 4 estrellas, pero siento que fuera de la pareja principal, no hay otro aspecto positivo por resaltar, si bien me cayeron chido los personajes secundarios como Zhao Xin´an, Fang Zhengqing, Xie Weiyu, Qu Jiang, Cheng Xing, pero ellos siempre giraron en torno a los protagonistas, por lo que no profundizaron y se sintió como relleno en mi opinión, solo lo conocemos en los juegos, pero fuera de eso, no hay mucho que decir. Si, se que pido mucho para un danmei de esport, no digo que esté malo, me entretuvo, pero no para 4 estrellas. Gracias :)

Abr, como empiezo. All-Round Mid Liner es buena. Tipo, si estas familiarizado con los esports, LOL y demás podras entender mucho esta historia y varios terminos no te seran extraños. En el sentido de la trama sí es buena y sabes que, oh wow, nuestro equipo protagonista ganara todas las partidas, que sopresa no?

Al principio me emocionaban las competencias, me emocionaba el desarrollo de personajes, pero ya llegando al final siento que ni se esforzo en lo que todo el tiempo nos había estado prometiendo la trama: La World Champions. Yo entiendo que se concentró mas en los equipos locales (esta bien) pero las semifinales y finales les falto sabor, les falto más emocion.

Realmente no siento que la rivalidad entre los coreanos se haya sembrado profundamente, si hubiera agregado más cosas para agarrar rencor o así me hubiera emocionado mucho mas acabar el libro, pero no, les ganaron y punto.

Luego el romance. Mmmmm....

Si, el romance.

Ehhhh, había romance? Oh si parece q sí. Despues de todo el recorrido que hace nuestro maravilloso equipo llega el turno de los tortolos de ser felices yupi.

....

Y ya. Esperabas mas?

Osea no me quejo. Al principio comenzando el libro el factor de que el alfa se enamora primero te otorga buenas risas y ganas de que ambos se comuniquen en el mismo canal, pero es divertido ver las situaciones que pasan y como ambos piensan cosas distinas. Aquí lo que sinceramente redujo mi interes por la pareja principal fue el mismo protagonista. Si bro yo entiendo que no eres gay pero su aceptación de que ama a un hombre pasa tan rapido que siento que acepto salir con el alfa por pura resigancion, tipo: en este extraño mundo eres el unico que pues puedo confiar y ya nimodos.

Y yo: ????

Si me hubiera puesto que atraves de la historia ambos iban a la par enamorandose yo sin problema. Pero esto de que el alfa caiga primero y ya hasta prepare la boda en un futuro me da risa y cosa a la vez.

Los extras fueron meh, nada rescatable. Los extras del mundo paralelo de plano los salte porque ya no me generaban nada la pareja principal, nada. Si, lindo romance pero meh

No mana, NO MANA

Y LUEGO

Los últimos dos extras me terminaron por enterrar. UNA HIJA. DIOS MIO.
Que le pasa a el mundo de los omegaverse con poner que los omegas siempre, pero siempre acaben con un hijo, ??? El prota no se veía embarazado ni tenían planeado tener hijos pero wow el autor de seguro tenia una lista de puntos a completar para con esta pareja y ya hasta el ultimo que acabo la historia se acordo de dicha lista.

Los protas siento que ni siquiera querian hijos. Siento que hubieran sido del tipo de pareja que no quiere esas preocupaciones y solo quieren tiempo para ellos dos. PERO NOOOOO obvio no.

En fin. Tiene momentos lindos y graciosos pero se vuelve tediosa cerca del final. Conoceras personajes tan entrañables que al final pierden foco de atencion y que debieron tener sus propias historias pero meh.

3/5 y no le puse 2 porque me gusto la escritura.

This is another transmigration novel where our MC Ye Shaoyang got into an accident then woke up in a parallel ABO world.

This is an esport themed book. World building is amazing. This is jargon heavy, so if you are not into or not familiar with any MOBA game, this will be a boring read for you. Special matches are very detailed and lots of technical and game related terminologies are used. It wasn't even explained so you at least need a background on any MOBA game to enjoy this one. Fortunately, though I only play casually, I still have a bit of a background so I really enjoyed reading this one.😁

The author created a fictional game with lots of heroes and skills and multiple comps that just this realistic and detailed game already deserved a 5 star rating for me. The tactics and the action packed matches were really amazing and well done in my opinion.👍

This took me about 3 days to finish. Goodreads said that it has 227 pages but the truth is that it has 227 CHAPTERS. The main story of this one is already fully translated but the extra chapters are not yet done. I actually read an mtl version of the extra chapters, it was hard but I managed to finish it.😆

The romance is not the central focus of the story but the main couple's road to the world championship. Though the romance part is funny and also cute which I also like.❤

The secondary characters are quite fleshed out, especially their teammates. I like them too.👍 The fan interactions and comments are funny and made the story more interesting for me.😁

Highly recommended for fans of esports centered light novels.❤👍

just a silly read

[Bunnyb · Rating 4 out of 5]

เล่มนี้เป็นนิยายเกี่ยวกับ E-Sports ผสมกับ ABO ผสมกับการกลับมาเกิดใหม่

ตัวเอกของเรื่องคือ Ye Shaoyang เดิมเคยเป็นนักกีฬาอีสปอร์ตอาชีพ
แต่ยังไม่เคยไปถึงระดับแชมป์โลก เป็นเรื่องที่ฝังอยู่ในใจ
บังเอิญเค้าเสียชีวิตกระทันหัน แล้วมาอยู่ในอีกโลกนึง ที่คนนิยมเกมคล้ายๆ LOL
เค้าก็เลยอยากทำความฝันของการคว้าแชมป์โลกให้เป็นจริง

ในโลกนี้ Ye Shaoyang เป็นโอเมก้า แบบที่เจ้าตัวอึ้งมาก เพราะในชีวิตก่อนเค้าแมนมากๆ
แมนแท้ๆ ไม่มีขดยากันยุง 🤣 ก็เลยรับไม่ค่อยได้กับความคิดว่าโอเมก้าท้องได้
คาแร็คเตอร์ของ Ye Shaoyang คือมีความทะเยอทะยาน ขยัน มุ่งมั่น วางแผนเก่ง เข้ากับคนง่าย
เรียกว่าเรื่องงานดีหมด แต่เรื่องส่วนตัว เป็นคนที่ไม่สนใจอะไรก็ไม่สนจริงๆ แม้ว่ามันจะสำคัญ
เช่น มาอยู่ในโลกใหม่ รู้แล้วว่าตัวเองเป็นโอเมก้า แต่ไม่เคยจะศึกษาให้ลึกๆ ว่า
ถ้าเป็นโอเมก้าแล้วควรทำตัวยังไง (โดยเฉพาะเวลาอยู่กับอัลฟ่า) เค้าจะยังคงความเป็นตัวตนจากโลกเดิม
ทัศนคติก็เปลี่ยนยาก (เกินครึ่งเรื่องไปแล้วก็ยังไม่ค่อยอยากยอมรับ)

พระเอกของเรื่องคือ Chi Shuo เป็นกัปตันทีมอีสปอร์ตที่สถานการณ์ปัจจุบันไม่ค่อยดีเท่าไหร่
สมาชิกในทีมรักกันดี แต่ฝีมือรวมๆ ไม่ค่อยดี แต่เค้าก็ใฝ่ฝันอยากเป็นแชมป์ระดับโลกเหมือนกัน
พอบังเอิญได้มาเจอ Ye Shaoyang เป็นสตรีมเมอร์เกมนี้อยู่ก็เลยเข้ามาดูลาดเลา
จนได้เป็นเพื่อนร่วมทีมกันในที่สุด

Chi Shuo เป็นอัลฟ่า บุคลิกแข็งๆ ไม่ค่อยแสดงอารมณ์ เพื่อนร่วมทีมไม่ค่อยกล้าเล่นด้วย
(แต่เพื่อนร่วมทีมรักนะ) เป็นคนที่ต้องแบกรับภาระการเป็นกัปตันทีมตั้งแต่อายุน้อย
ก็เลยต้องแสดงความเป็นผู้นำด้วย จะอ่อนแอต่อหน้าคนอื่นไม่ได้ แต่กับ Ye Shaoyang จะเป็นกรณีพิเศษ
เพราะ Ye Shaoyang กับ Chi Shuo เล่นเกมเข้าขากันเหมือนกับใช้สมองเดียวกัน
อีกอย่างจะเกียวกับการเป็นโอเมก้าของ Ye Shaoyang ด้วย

เนื้อเรื่องหลังจาก Ye Shaoyang เข้ามาร่วมทีมก็จะเน้นไปที่การฝึกซ้อมและการแข่งอาชีพ
เป็นเรื่องนึงที่ถือว่าเล่ารายละเอียดเกมเยอะมาก บรรยากาศของเรื่องไม่ค่อยเครียด
เพราะสมาชิกทีมหลายคนก็มารุ่นเดียวกับ Chi Shuo คุ้นเคยกันดี แข่งกันในเกม นอกเกมกินข้าวกัน

แต่ให้ 4 ดาวเพราะเรื่องมันยืดยาวไปหน่อย เกมรอบปกติจบแล้ว กว่าจะไปเพลย์ออฟ
รอไป 2 เดือน ระหว่างนั้นมีเหมือนเกมรวมดาราให้ไปเล่นกันคลายเครียด
ไปเอนเตอร์เทนแฟนๆ อีก แถมมีแข่งระดับนานาชาติแบบเดี่ยว แบบคู่มาแทรกอีก

ส่วนความรักก็ไปช้าาาาา ... เพราะอยู่ในช่วงแข่งขัน อยากได้แชมป์โลกหนึ่ง
เพราะ Chi Shuo เป็นคนชิลที่แสดงออกไม่เก่ง แต่นึกว่าอีกฝ่ายน่าจะคิดคล้ายๆ กัน (มั้ง) หนึ่ง
เพราะ Ye Shaoyang คิดแต่เรื่องแข่ง ไม่อยากคิดเรื่องอัลฟ่า โอเมก้า รับไม่ได้ที่จะมีคนรักเป็นผู้ชายอีกหนึ่ง
ความหวาน ความฟินอะไรมันก็เลยค่อนข้างน้อย (อยากจะฟินก็ฟินไม่ได้ เพราะความคิด Ye Shaoyang บรรยายไปอีกทาง) 😂

สรุปคือ อ่านได้เพลินๆ แต่ต้องใช้เวลาเยอะ ความฟินไปรอท้ายๆ เรื่อง
แต่บรรยากาศในทีมของตัวเอกดีมาก ทุกคนน่ารัก HE ค่ะ

dnf. read 100 chapters and felt the book was very shallow.

[aura ❀ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Satisfied the esports nerd in me. The details of the game in this book is amazing, a lot of new and unique heroes, although the translation sometimes makes things confusing, I’d say it’s quite manageable, until you get to the extras parallel universe (I skipped that, I mean it’s so confusing and unreadable).

Critiques are given when due though. The romance was super rushed, I didn’t even know how they got together since I felt like they had 0 chemistry at all?? And it was mostly just the alpha (I forgot his name) misunderstanding everything, and the omega accidentally initiating everything. I don’t even think the omega likes him? I think he’s just so confused but he didn’t care and just got into a relationship with the alpha because he kinda felt forced to? Anyways I didn’t even click with them but their dynamic when playing the game is very fun to read about!

The time skip makes me feel really nostalgic, like damn, you won the world championship one second and now you have a 16 year old child? I don’t know why big time skips just does this thing where I feel very sad, like I don’t want time to go by so quickly (ignore my yapping)

Would be a very good read to people that enjoys details of games, but if you solely read for the romance, then it’s not for you, go and read ‘I can do it’ instead!!

i really liked this one!! the focus is more on the games than the romance but i didn't mind it much bc the games were really intense.

i also rly liked the main character bc although he's an omega, he's very fierce while gaming and smart when coming up with tactics to beat the opponents.

took away 1 star bc the ending of the extras felt very rushed but the main story was great overall.

Lâu rồi ko đọc về chủ đề thi đấu game online nên khá thích cuốn này. Nhiệt huyết thanh xuân cùng với tình đồng đội bạn bè trong những truyện về game online luôn là thứ hấp dẫn mình.
Nhưng thật ra đọc liền tù tì 2 cuốn cùng chủ đề thì đến cuốn thứ 2 sẽ chán hơn xíu. Cuốn Kim bài huấn luyện viên mà có trên này chắc tui chỉ chấm 3 sao thôi.

Already wrote a rant/review on this, but first 80% were pretty good. Ending was rushed and was very unsatisfactory, as usual.

MC is OP, but he's an oblivious, stupid motherfucker.
Love interest was good too.

[ali · Rating 3 out of 5]

what a ride! this had been 200+ chapters of a journey.

i admire my patience for actually finishing this. i don't like esports in real life and my fascination with this genre had only been because of jiang zi bei's i can do it. but somehow, i enjoyed this one.

reading this reminded me a bit of watching haikyuu. i was able to see ye shaoyang's journey from being a streamer to being discovered by chi shou, his endless training and the whole circuit of competitions until world championship. and well...it was long. i guess one of my biggest critic was the pacing. the whole thing did reminded me of haikyuu but what made hq great was its fantastic pacing. which coincidentally was this book's biggest flaw. at the start of the novel, a lot of the games were very detailed. even the practice and for leisure ones. the semis were also very long that it had became tedious. honestly, i even skipped some because while i get the change of tactics and strategy building, it's just too much to me when that's all you get continously.

it's also obvious that the writer kind ran out of steam too because competitions that should've been more important was so much shorter than the former arcs. i wish the first one were trimmed a bit and the focus of detailed comps were done during the end arcs. that way it could've been more satisfying.

the main characters were also too OP. though a little bit suspension of disbelief will make you not mind it that much. the author took conscious effort to not make them too flawless and had also tried very hard to make the secondary characters more well-rounded too.

as for the romance...you won't really get much until the end and the extras and by the time you get there, things will move forward quickly. tbh, i won't rec this to anyone who is seeking to read a romance book because this is very much 95% esports and 5% romance. in my standards the romance is also very subpar. it still made me giggly and happy but not also that satisfying nor grand. it was like a little reward for going through 200+ chapters of enormous game worldbuilding.

lastly, if i get a dollar everytime they mention the word 'tacit' i'd probably be fine not working for a year. i'd be well-funded.

The novel was written pretty well, the author adopts competition format from RL MOBA competitions but devises a whole new game with original heroes. However, the novel is indeed pretty long and detailed. Readers who aren't that interested in MOBA games may not be that absorbed/ involved in the novel as the novel does kind of heavily describe the gameplay (about 2/3 of the novel). The remaining parts of the novel was mostly relationship building amongst the Chinese e-sports players with some description of players from overseas.

There isn't that much plot of face-slapping as the amount of antagonists compared to friendlies was almost negligible. Relationships was mostly wholesome and friendly, much like the novel Glory.

With the original heroes, author could devise unique combinations and gameplay which was pretty much quite numerous. However, with that the combinations you like may only be written once and you can say bye bye after reading about it in one game.

Unlike most novels where you see MC/ ML slowly improving and leveling up, this novel focuses on leveling up the side characters and the increase in coordination and cooperation between the members in MC and ML's team.

It was pretty fluffy and sweet but the novel is indeed a little draggy with the gameplay. I was so absorbed in the novel in the first 1/2 (?) but the interest slowly waned. Another minor complain is the lack of ABO characteristics in the novel.... like you don't really see the physiological dependence of the omega or the possessiveness of the alpha. The difference in physical characteristics between A and O was also negligible. Being an ABO setting, the main and only plot point is just the marking during MC's heat, which is the sole and only reason to drive MC and ML relationship

worth a one time read, kinda wish it was a little shorter....

[Louisa Lee · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 ⭐️ The main story is pretty much 90% detailed descriptions of the esports matches (sometimes even the BP phase alone can take up a whole chapter) and 10% romance + other things happening outside of the matches. I like reading about the games so I didn't mind it at first but after a certain point it started to fry my brain and I had to take a break 😂 Luckily the extra chapters focused more on the relationship development otherwise this would have been a 4 star rating from me.

Đường giữa toàn năng - Điệp Chi Linh
Truyện tập trung nhiều vào esports (mình lướt) hơn là tuyến tình cảm. Tình cảm của 2 bạn thì khá là dễ thương và buồn cười (1 bên đã nghĩ đến kết hôn sinh con, 1 bên thì chỉ xem là anh em haha).

Too sweet! All-Round Mid Laner is always such a satisfying and fun read.
I must have re-read the first half more than 6 times before I finished it.

My biggestest issue is finding a good consistent translation!!
