Here comes the mandatory author review! I’m back with a new novel, and it’s about basketball this time. This will center around high school basketball, so it will also show friendships, personal growth, teenage struggles, and maybe a little bit of romance? This will not contain any harem; however, a lot of people will like (and dislike) our main character! Don’t expect it to be fast-paced, but I’ll try my best to write it as fun as possible. Another disclaimer! Although this story contains a system, it also highly relies on the MC’s hard work. Treat this review as a q-and-a portion and drop your questions below!

I like the story, overall it's one of my recent obsessions. If you like op mc highly discouraged, however if you want a story that focuses on growth of the mc then highly recommend. it's just frustrating how the author drags the story but i dont mind it... and who's the female lead? is it suzy or lina i wanna know!! but i prefer lina more because shes' so cute🥲

was surprisingly good despite the reviews. if you like a fast-paced novel with an OP MC at the beginning, then this novel isn't for you. it has a lot of focus on slice-of-life, and is frustrating at some times, but i found that it wasn't too serious...just realistic. anyway, it gets better as the chapters progress, and kai, as an MC, is actually very resilient. it keeps building up, and i want to see when he finally proves everyone wrong.

this is so shit cause if the main character is good why do you have to portray him as that plus the cringe and tradition way of downgrading him is not what i appreciate

The teacher doesn’t act like a teacher. Plus isn’t this about basketball ? The author sounds like he has never played organized basketball . It’s so slow…

Author, do the world a favor and dip your writing hand in the meat grinder. The only positive thing I can say about your story is that at least it seems like you studied grammar.

the side characters so far all seem like bots , mc's head was literally bleeding and the mc was clearly confused and the officers thought it was a good idea to say "yeah lets interrogate the injured teenager and ignore everything he says" and the grandmother can't see the difference in the kid she's raising ?. plot/situation seems wayyy to forced for me to enjoy

This is my first time writing a review so please excuse my inexperience. Anyways, I really enjoy how the progress of the story is, giving focus to the diversity of each and every character and how they interact with each other, how they reach and make decisions and especially how they react to challenges and their struggle in per suite to overcoming it. This and a lot of other factors greatly contributed to the character development as well as the story. This book genuinely makes me want to watch a basketball game even though I don't watch them and think that they were boring. With all of that sad, I can't be more exited on the more exiting and unexpected rollercoaster ride of a game the Shizi Dogs will take me and how will Kai reach his goal. KEE IT UP AUTHOR, AND THANK YOU FOR CEATING THIS BOOK

The sports writing in this novel is crazy the intensity of the games is wild this is the only one where they can stretch a game to almost ten chapters and still be a thrill ride all the way through

I was a bit skeptical at first, but I like Kai a lot. He's a below average high-schooler who was given another chance to fulfill his dream of being a basketball player. It is pretty slow, but the progress is nice. He's quite smart, too, and I think he's going to become very very strong in the future.

Super frustrating read. Each chapter is just the author hammering on the MC with no resolution. The whole point of a System genre novel is lost. Liked the concept but just couldn't make myself continue.

sometimes it feels like this is just a rip-off of slamdunk. this has a lot of potential but the author just keep on dragging the story. like the other reviews said, the buildups is pretty much useless because of how poorly the author executed it. for example the mc's appearance, if you think hyping up the mc's appearance then dragging it so long for it to change is exciting then you're completely wrong. it just makes it frustrating af.

I stand by my review score. This kids supposed to be smart but makes a bunch of stupid decisions and can’t level up his skills without completing the systems missions so him working out on his own means nothing

TLDR: if you played basketball or an actual fan of the sport I don't recommend this novel author lacks basic knowledge of the sport and it is noticeable as early as chapter 15 when author tried writing a 3v3 match and MC made a variant of the traveling violation called up and down but didn't get called on it they simply continued play like nothing happened. Author tried to describe the MC as a theoretical player but couldn't play cause of his disability this would have been fine if the author knows a lot about basketball sadly author is a complete noob and probably never played a single game of basketball their entire life. My proof on chapter 15 MC did a violation known as up and down basically a traveling violation MC jumped with the ball on his hand trying to dunk but due to his lack of experience misjudged his jump and fell short this would have been fine if the MC's team immediately lost possession of the ball giving it to the other team but nope author just continued the play like nothing happened. This is unbelievable since the MC himself should know the basic rules if he was such a fan of the game and had theoretic knowledge of it then his opponents also played basketball previously and should know the rules they should have called the MC out and taken possession of the ball but none of that happened instead both sides acted like the most basic and fundamental rule doesn't exist Traveling is as basic as Football's/Soccer's no hands touching the ball rule. This is not a basketball story merely a slice of life with a fantasy system and an outsider's incorrect knowledge of basketball. There are probably more mistakes after that but I didn't continue past that chapter. Author should do a much more thorough research of the sport if they lack the first hand experience of playing the actual game since their Basketball matches would never even get close to believable because of fundamental flaws to the game's rules.
