My Thoughts on You’re Beautiful When You Smile
"You're Beautiful When You Smile" is a novel I dove into with high expectations, given its popularity and the buzz around its drama adaptation. As a fan of both romance and e-sports themes, I was eager to see how well this story blended the two. Overall, I found it an enjoyable, though not flawless, read.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise: a female protagonist entering the male-dominated world of professional League of Legends. The early chapters had me laughing out loud. The banter between the main characters, Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng, is undeniably hilarious, and the female lead's spunky personality is immediately endearing. I appreciated that she wasn't portrayed as a damsel in distress but as a capable gamer with her own strengths and weaknesses.
What Works Well
The novel shines in its character dynamics and comedic timing. The interactions between Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng are a major highlight, with their bickering and playful teasing creating a lighthearted and engaging atmosphere. Many readers, including myself, found the male lead to be a refreshing departure from the typical overbearing CEO trope often found in Chinese novels. He's portrayed as skilled and mature but still has his flaws, making him feel surprisingly human. I also enjoyed the e-sports aspect, even though I'm not a hardcore gamer myself. The novel does a decent job of explaining the jargon and making the game accessible to a wider audience.
Areas of Concern
However, I did encounter some aspects that gave me pause. Some have criticized the novel for potentially problematic elements, including instances of borderline verbal abuse disguised as teasing and the handling of sensitive situations. Additionally, the ending felt abrupt. While the main storyline concludes with a satisfying tournament win, I was left wanting more in terms of the characters' future and their relationship. An epilogue to show their life post-victory would have been greatly appreciated.

Final Verdict
Despite its flaws, "You're Beautiful When You Smile" is a fun and engaging read, particularly if you enjoy e-sports stories with a strong romantic element. The characters are well-developed, the humor is on point, and the overall story is heartwarming. While it may not be a perfect masterpiece, it's a worthwhile escape into a world of competitive gaming and blossoming romance. I'd recommend it with the caveat to be aware of the potential issues raised by other readers.
