Jiang Chen, an esports prodigy, led his team to win the championship in the first and second seasons of the Dreamscape Professional League. He should have had boundless prospects, but unfortunately, he was struck with a terminal illness and had to retire at the peak of his career. Full of unwillingness, impulsiveness, and desperation… Jiang Chen decided to gamble his life, choosing to freeze himself. Thirty years later, Evergreen Alliance’s Dreamscape took a bold step and became the world’s first holographic online game. Numerous players flared up with excitement, including those who had quit, those retired, new fans, old fans, they all flocked into the game. Awakened from his frozen state, Jiang Chen still carried an undiminished passion in his heart. He took a step forward and entered the game as well. Fang Jingxing, a popular captain of the Dreamscape Professional League, retired successfully with glory and honor, finally began his lovely retirement life. On the day the servers opened, the starving and waiting fans finally got to see their Captain Fang’s stream and crazily showered him with gifts. Fang Jingxing cooperatively drew lots and ended up drawing the “Pretend to be a newbie.” Under the watchful eyes of the viewers, he walked up to a player. Fang Jingxing: “Boss, it’s my first time playing, can you carry me?” Jiang Chen glanced at him: “Are you over ten years old?” Fang Jingxing: “I am.” Jiang Chen: “Alright, Daddy will carry you and show you how to dominate.” Fans gathered around the stream: Hah, let’s see who ends up carrying whom! Ten minutes later, Captain Fang and the fans watched collectively as he single-handedly subdued and struck the dungeon boss to the ground. Fang Jingxing raised an eyebrow: Oho. Fans: …Daddy!

My Thoughts on It’s My Turn to Take the Stage to Fly

This novel, "It’s My Turn to Take the Stage to Fly," was quite the ride! Going in, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. The tags are a wild mix of genres, but I was ultimately charmed by the premise and decided to give it a shot.

First Impressions

I was immediately hooked by the unique setup: a protagonist waking up from cryosleep decades later and diving into a VR game. The initial chapters were genuinely funny, especially the beta testing moments. I found myself chuckling at the interactions and curious to see where the story would go.

What Works Well

One of the strongest aspects of this novel is the dynamic between the main characters, Jiang Chen (MC) and Fang Jingxing (ML). Their interactions are hilarious, and I loved how their relationship developed organically. The ML is genuinely likable, supportive, and not overly pushy, while the MC's cold exterior hides a caring heart. The comedy is definitely a highlight, with well-executed misunderstandings and slapstick humor that had me laughing out loud. The game itself is well-developed, with interesting hidden quests and a fun, adventurous feel. I also appreciated that the story doesn't take itself too seriously, maintaining a light and enjoyable tone throughout. I also liked that the focus was kept on the game itself, and not on the external factors such as fan comments or forum posts.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the novel overall, I can see why some readers might be disappointed by the lack of focus on e-sports. If you're expecting intense tournament scenes and detailed game mechanics, this might not be the book for you. The "hidden quests" part felt a bit repetitive later on, and some of the side characters could have been more developed. The ending also felt somewhat abrupt, leaving me wanting more.
