Bro, he is an African footballer. The idea is cool but maybe make it suit the footballer's body type? Maybe take the reference of Kwadwo Asamoah or Seydou Keita? Cool idea though.

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.
