Description

Creation Era launched five years ago. During the first season, which was fully deserving of being referred to as the golden era, countless legendary figures became famous in a single battle, and the various gods competed for supremacy on the rankings. The gaming industry officially entered the era of holographic gaming. Five years later, keyboard-based e-sports was on the decline, and holographic e-sports had taken its place. An ID that had been lying around collecting dust for many years appeared on the rankings filled with master players once again. And what came into view alongside the name of this toxic support player were other legendary figures from the first season who had made players tremble with fear just hearing about them. A notorious scavenger, a top black market assassin who had never failed a single kill, a war-loving madman able to bombard a whole regiment on their own, a surly master craftsman whose goods were priceless in the auction house… These people gathered together and joined a retirement guild for casual players, then signed up for the holographic e-sports league. Onlookers who weren’t clear about the situation: Major gods from the first season? What era is this? A senior citizen sightseeing group is more like it. Old players who have suffered from this poison before: You young people, you don’t understand the horror of being dominated by these ancestors~ QAQ The management teams from the various top guilds were distressed and bitter: What the hell, hadn’t these devils all quit the game? Why did they come back?!! — When Jiang Shi started playing again, he immediately noticed the ID that was still dominating the top of the rankings: Gentle Fish. Players shared gossip with him – Legend has it that Fish God had a white moonlight whom he chased but was unable to obtain. Five years ago, he’d prepared a grand confession ceremony on the slope of Three Court Hill, but unexpectedly, despite waiting for a whole seven days and seven nights, the other party didn’t appear. Jiang Shi: … Fake news. Don’t ask him how he would know; he was that ‘heartbreaker’ who didn’t show up on the day of their scheduled fight. Han Yuze: Heh, are you sure that it was a scheduled fight back then? Jiang Shi: ?

Support Is King [Holographic Game] Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator

My Thoughts on Support Is King [Holographic Game]

"Support Is King [Holographic Game]" promised a relaxing dive into the world of e-sports with a comedic twist, and for the most part, it delivered. I went in expecting a lighthearted story, and that's precisely what I got. While it might not be a groundbreaking novel, it certainly provided a pleasant escape.

First Impressions

The initial chapters immediately drew me in with the promise of returning veteran players causing a ruckus in a new VR game. The blend of humor and the nostalgia of old friendships rekindled in a digital world was quite appealing. I was eager to see how the main character, Jiang Shi/PoisonedMilk, and his unique support class would shake up the competitive scene.

What Works Well

The strength of this novel lies in its easygoing nature and focus on character interactions. The guild dynamics, especially within Seven Silver Coins, were a highlight. I appreciated that the guild maintained its chill atmosphere even amidst championship victories. The romance, while slow-paced, felt organic and sweet. I also enjoyed the comedic misunderstandings, particularly the initial misinterpretation of Gentle Fish/Han Yuze's confession. The side characters were undeniably entertaining, with some even shining brighter than the main couple at times. The focus on the support class and the unique builds associated with it was also a refreshing take on the gaming genre.

Areas of Concern

While I enjoyed the relaxed pace, it did contribute to a lack of excitement at times. The plot felt somewhat lacking in high-stakes tension, and the championship matches didn't always feel as impactful as they could have been. I also felt that the world-building could have been more fleshed out, particularly regarding professions other than rune masters. The novel heavily focuses on the MC's profession, which makes the world feel a little small. The romance, while sweet, felt a bit one-sided at times. I also felt like the ML pining for 5 years was glossed over.

Final Verdict

"Support Is King [Holographic Game]" is a fun, lighthearted read perfect for those seeking a relaxing e-sports story with a focus on humor and character interactions. While it may not be groundbreaking or action-packed, it offers a pleasant escape into a world of friendship, camaraderie, and gentle romance. If you're looking for a blood-pumping, high-stakes competition, this might not be for you. However, if you want a chill story about old friends causing chaos in a game, give it a try. I would rate it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
