The story is just brilliant but the only bad thing here is the author going on long hiatuses. Which I can understand people need a break but the author forgot all the people paying for premium. That wastes their money and it’s likely gonna cause people to rethink buying premium from this story again.

Having read up to chapter 604 I felt that I should write a review. The most important part of sports novels is the world, there can be super unrealistic powers and abilities but if they are used in a world where it makes sense and it helps the reader feel like there is more than just the MC out there it really helps with immersion. This novel excels at making the reader feel like a part of the world, and it does not feel like we are at the centre of it, rather it feels like real life when you follow a player's journey to the top. It feels rewarding when Zachary performs well, and at times I feel the same feelings I feel when watching the Premier League, Bundesliga or any other league. Minor gripes with the characters are that some of them feel a bit like they are there to help the story move along, keep in mind that it is very minor and not noticeable most of the time, but it is still there. the MC Zachary also feels a bit too perfect in that no real person could have so much singular focus on football to such an extent, I see the author trying to use other characters to show the consequence of such a mindset (I won't say but if you have read then you know), but it's still not enough sometimes and Zachary still feels a bit robotic, however, I believe the author may rectify this as Zacahry is still young and he has time in his career. So I hope to see some character development for Zachary. I want to write more but this is already long enough so I will quickly say a few points. The buildup of his career was exciting to read and at times I felt like I was in the stands watching him> I usually read Sports manga so this novel was a very welcome change for me and I had no problems understanding what was going on. The store is a tad slow to start up but it is well-paced after Zachary's career takes off. I might have rated this a tad bit high but that's a reflection of my hope that this novel reaches even greater heights. Thanks for reading my rambly review I hope I didn't waste too much of your time.
the author done a very good job with football details and stuff. but, he seems to forget that the mc is actually a person but not Robot. common man, his girlfriend has Miscarriage but mc seems not even remember about it the next day, and he goes to play game. the guy got second life after dying alone, but only thinks about football and nothing else, I mean I know it a sport novel, but common, at least let him live some good moments of life other than training and stuff. overall it's Hard for me to pick after authors recent hitus, author should improve on charectar designing and building, because there is no way a person who died and came back to life will behave like the mc you're currently writing.
What to say about this novel? It's 300 chapters for one, so you'll have hours of reading. As for the actual content, it's somewhat generic in that it is an athlete do-over reincarnation, but even then, that's a genre lacking on webnovel. The thing that sets this apart is the well-grounded system and well thought out progression of the Mc. It's rewarding, and it feels like his effort is being rewarded instead of the MC being gifted everything on a plate. His character is okay, it's a little flat and uninteresting, but with the cycle of these kinds of stories, that's kinda expected. The focus isn't on character development; it's on the Mc's pursuits in the footballing world and his development as a player. Of course, that isn't the only aspect. The author has also thought about other elements beyond the riveting action of the games and tries to show the different aspects that affect athletes. But at the moment, that isn't the focus, and neither should it be. The story can sometimes drag when unimportant games go on for too long. Or when miscellaneous descriptions of training that have been written and rewritten hundreds of times fill most chapters. And that is undoubtedly jarring, as I feel it just drags the pace and the author has issues prioritising what he should show or how much time to allocate less Important scenes. But the highs, for me, validate trudging through the lows. I'm a football fan as it is, so maybe this won't be for everyone. But the author's passion towards the story and effort are faultless-though his upload rate leaves much to be desired. I also feel there could be more expanding of the footballing world. Everything revolves around the Mc, and we don't get to see anybodies reaction to the MC besides the commentators, or his close friends, during the match. It might be nice to see pro-players seeing Zachary's highlights and commentating on it or something. But this is the author's decision, and it is what it is. But overall, I'd recommend the novel for others to read. And they should give it a chance, though it might not be everybody's cup of tea.
this was a pretty decent story unlike the other football system stories. people will say that he is getting op, well if you're going to be the goat you've gotta be op. The author has done quite a straightforward work but just lacks something to make it more special. currently it seems a bit bland. Anyway, probably the best football system work.
I’ve haven’t been much of a sports fan since I was much younger, and I’ve never been into football/soccer, but this book reignited my passion for sports. The author has somehow managed to distil the blood pumping, heart racing feeling of watching an amazing play in an intense game into written format. The amazing descriptions of the play, the authentic announcer reactions, the roaring crowd, the celebrations, it all fits so well. On top of that you have characters that feel real, especially Zachary. He is a young man with a lot of trauma that can get to caught up in his ambitions and forget those around him, but he is slowly maturing and becoming a more caring person. I just hope his current relationship can stay together after the latest incident. She is such a wonderful character and I don’t like seeing her hurt. Keep it coming!
Honestly one of the best system novels I've come across, not just specifically for sports. I love how the author weaves in the system in a way such that it is a tool to aid, but not overpoweringly so. In addition, the execution of the gameplay and aspects outside the game is fantastic. My only complaint would be that I wish there were more chapters/frequent updates, but that's just a testament to how well the story is written.
