I Can Do It

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

In a certain League of Legends (LOL) match, a streamer well-known for infuriating people, was providing commentary and live streaming.

Streamer: This support, so tr*sh.

Streamer: If this jungler was my teammate, I’d already be idling at the fountain, playing piano for him.

Streamer: I suggest this player go back and practice last-hitting properly.

Audience: Stop talking crap! If you’re so good, why don’t you do it?

Streamer: Your daddy here can actually do it.

Audience: Yeah, sure. If you’re that good, I’ll chop my head off and let you kick it around.

A few months later, the veteran LPL team TTC announced their new mid-laner. A boy with flamboyant blue hair appeared in front of the audience. His Zed gameplay was so astonishing that whoever he faced ended up dead. Female fans teetered on the edge of betrayal, tempted to switch their loyalties.

During a post-match MVP interview, everyone held their breath, eagerly watching this talented newcomer.

The young man took the microphone, smiled, and asked, “To the water friend with the StarTV username ‘Suburb King 101,’ my team’s address is on the official website, when will you be mailing your head over?”

After one regular-season game, the staff went backstage to fetch the team for an interview, only to stumble upon TTC’s new mid-laner and their jungler standing in a corner.

TTC’s star jungler, Road, was pressing the team’s new mid-laner, Soft, against the wall. Leaning in close, he asked in a low voice: “You know what to say during the interview, right?”

The fiery mid-laner, who had cemented his tr*sh-talker reputation in his very first game, was currently blushing furiously.

“I know. I won’t tr*sh-talk… I swear I won’t.”

so sweet and fluffy!

i procrastinated for a long time on this one bc I wasn't into the esports genre until recently but this was good. I love the mc's feisty personality and how his fans treat him like their son bc he's so young. It was also funny how the closet was glass once they got together bc the ML didn't even bother hiding their relationship and kept giving his fans hints on who he's dating. The relationship with other rival teams is so cute as well, especially MC and... more>> savior's friendship + ML and xiu's friendship.

as for the gameplay, it was easy to understand even if you have never touched LoL a single day in your life, although there are a lot of technical terms. <<less

the translation is good and it is completed.

It has the typical plot of other gaming bl but this one doesn't have a lot of challenges in the story. There's a lot of sweetness and fluff as well. There's not enough sweet moments for the MC though. I want more. I'm also inlove with the second pair and I hope there's gonna be a seperate story regarding them.

The author did not even narrated how the MC and ML's parents met (when they became official together) their first meet with parents were... more>> also not detailed compared to others story.

I want more and I really hope the second pairing gets their own story. Please, author.

This story focused mainly on the games with a sprinkle of love and sweetness.

Can recommend this if you want light reading and you like to read, if not then don't read this.

This doesn't have strong plot and have plot holes but plot is established.

I have read a lot of gaming novels written by chinese so I'm not shocked but still disappointed with the xenophobia. (There's some gaming novels that displayed strong nationalism to the point that it is unacceptable but this one does not have so much. Maybe in a low amount but not a lot compared to other stories I read). <<less

One of my favorite esports novels. A bit of an age gap, and they get together basically right after the younger turns 18, but there's no feeling of "waiting until 18" as the romantic feelings don't really start developing until both are adults. The dynamic is of a gremlin MC and doting ML, who was once that gremlin himself lol

A very lighthearted and comedic read, and any sad moments are pretty quickly alleviated. The gaming scenes are not drawn out, and the main focus of this novel is on the... more>> relationships, primarily between MC and ML. For those who want a taste of esports without getting too deep into the semantics. <<less

This worth every 5 stars rating.

My cutie Xiao Bai is a walking comedy, while I wish I could hug ding-he. He’s so pitiful I’m afraid his hair will fall hahahaaa

I love JR so much; his attitude, his skill, his endurance, his cuteness, his tr*sh-talking; I love them all. And I can’t with how LBY doting on JR. I would go straight to heaven if someone did what LBY did to JR to me. Overall, these past 3 stays I spend reading worth every minute. I love this novel so much.... more>> The gaming language isn’t that confusing, don’t worry. 4.8/5 ⭐️ <<less

A way to describing this novel: one where you don't have to skip chapters because you don't understand half of it, light, fluffy and Comedic. You take it as it appears with no heavy Subplot.

I usually hate when there's a barrage in a novel, so far none has entertained me like the one in this. Usually they would intrude too much in the lives of the characters or what is written feels like it was included for word count, but this; my God I would look forward to their tr*sh... more>> talking. It was soo entertaining

Also, Second hand embarrassment, many authors usually use this as Comedy. I've read too many cringey ones that I would skip novels dealing with second hand embarrassment. However, to this one, chef kiss. I even ended spitting out food laughing at this.

E-sports isn't my plate as I don't understand what the heck is going on 99% of the time. But who cares in this one, I was looking forward everytime there was a match because this meant tr*sh talking 😂

The characters, there wasn't any depth in their past and I loved that soo much. Their personal lives didn't intrude that much with the novel. There was no heavy plot where it would make a dramatic impact on the novel. Even LBY's family, they were so cool. The author made them go with the flow of the novel <<less

Sweet. The protagonist and ML really care for each other. There was no drama (when Tang Qin appeared, I thought there would be), no misunderstandings, they owned up to their feelings.

As I don't play games, I don't really know about the gaming parts, but got the impression that it was pretty thrilling.

Really really cute couple

5/5

rating rounded up bc of lby

icdi reads very much like a fanfic: no worldbuilding is needed because the readers are already familiar with the setting, there's focus on a niche the author is very knowledgeable about (lol) and the overall vibe of the work is just very indulgent.

i have some nitpicks about this novel, but for the most part I really did end up enjoying it. this is one of those works that really isn't meant to be consumed overly critically: what you see is what you get, and that... more>> is a light, fluffy novel about characters playing their favorite game and the people they meet in the process of it. as such, i'd say the plot is 50% gaming, 30% main cp's budding relationship and 20% shenanigans with netizens and other gamers. if you are a fan of gaming and you like the portrayal of fandom in fiction, you're pretty much bound to like icdi.

my two main complaints about this novel are actually about the MC and the aforementioned fandom, and in both these cases I feel like it's more of a me issue than something that needed to be fixed in by the author. the mc, jian rong (alias soft) is 17-18 throughout the novel and his age... really shows at times. he's a talented gamer and streamer known for his short temper and potty mouth, and the arguments he gets into and the mishaps that happen to him online were sometimes so childish that it made me feel old and I'm not even that much older than him. I found the ml to be a more enjoyable character actually, so much that I was just anxiously waiting for him to fuсk up and make me dislike him—turns out, lu boyuan really is just a Decent dude! what a guy! while his interactions with jian rong are always super sweet, he can be a tease and it was so funny to me when he'd act colder and whip out his dry humor around everyone else. I'm honestly rooting for the cp to stay together for a long time only because if I was jian rong I wouldn't know how to ever get over a guy like this..

my love for lby aside, the other thing that irked me (bc it gave me war flashbacks to my kpop days) is the way the fans treat the celebrities here which is, unfortunately, completely realistic. since the career of a streamer is directly dependent on their audience, the fans feel really entitled, and when continuously encouraged, they begin to think that the people on the screen owe them their entire lives. again, it's not icdi's fault, but being repeatedly reminded of this toxic fandom mindset was super annoying to me (almost as much as opening a new window every few minutes to google lol champions). the mc's audience in here is portrayed showing a good dose of tough love, all with a comedic tone, and though it was mostly entertaining, at times I just wanted to yell at them (and the chronically online mc) to go out and touch some grass.

despite it all, I did still like icdi. I approached it like I would a one-season sports anime (but like, sk8 rather than yoi) ; that is, expecting a lot of people to be extremely passionate about something that I know nothing about but will push through because the other aspects of it are appealing. the characters here are all very fun and you can definitely find yourself a reoccurring side-character to hype up and call underrated. the romance was adorable and the fact that it was genuinely just good and unproblematic made me wanna take a step back from annoying wuxia men (this lasted a whole second until I remembered that unfortunately, I like their brand of annoying). and finally.. if I never hear of league of legends again, it will be too. fuсking. soon. <<less

The best use of the barrage I have ever encountered.

  • Readers identify with it, almost in a fourth-wall-breaking manner.
  • Barrage moves plot along and provides development.
  • Barrage is present even outside its medium (the comment section of the StarTV)
The barrage almost becomes a veritable character, really.

This novel is also super f***ing funny. Instant mood booster. Tiny Salt deserves lots of love for their fantastic translation. A gold standard for esports novels.

Truly deserving of all these high ratings.

This novel made me want to play LOL too.

Since I know nothing about esports or gaming I thought I'd find this boring but oh how wrong I was. The author blended esports with romance and comedy so well. And translators did an amazing job at translating.

... more>> The relationship between MC and his dad fans was so adorable and funny. They flamed him more than his antis to the point that even the antis were confused.

Jiang Rong (mc) and Lu Boyuan (ml) 's relationship made me so soft. God I love them so much. MC who tr*sh talks to everyone is only soft to ml. It was funny to see him trying to act like a kind and decent person infront of ml. Although they got official pretty late the sweetness was there since the beginning, so we wont be starving of dog food.

Side characters were amazing too. And soft's dad fans were the best part of this novel. I genuinely had tears in my eyes after laughing too much reading their comments. They're the kind of people who'd bully you but would not let anybody else bully you because they're the only ones who are allowed too.

Overall one of the best esports story out there.

Highly recommend this story. <<less

This is my first review I've written. The reason is because this is a five star novel yet I feel very conflicted.

I plan to complete the novel because the story is just so amazing. Jian Rong becomes your own son, who you see grow up. Furthermore, I loved the interaction between Jian Rong and Lu Boyuan. It was so natural and realistic (depending on your view). Although it may be a slow burn, in that it doesn't happen instantaneously, their relationship progressed pretty quickly without any trouble. There was no... more>> unnecessary drama or misunderstanding. I mean there were a few misunderstandings, but they were fun! There was also a good balance between the character's relationship and gaming, as well as fan reactions. Overall, would recommend, five out five. Good characters, good relationship progress, and good balance.

I was conflicted because of the same reasons as the other reviewers. First, I rated this five out of five because it was good and it wasn't racist. It isn't racist, but is there a questionable feel of racist-ish things? Yes. It's just questionable and makes you uncomfortable. I definitely don't think the author did this on purpose either. They were probably just trying to be nationalist, which most novels do too.

So, what was questionable.

  • First,
    Spoiler

    in many chapters, Jian Rong and other characters say that they don't speak "simnida, " which is in other words the Korean language. This doesn't really strike as racist, except for the fact that this is used as an insult/in a negative way. If instead of "simnida" it was "ching chong, " it would sound very racist. It also has the same feel as asking why an immigrant can't speak english. It just doesn't feel right.

    [collapse]
  • Second,
    Spoiler

    there was that whole arc of TTC v. HT. It was just a vague feeling throughout. It wasn't really racist or xenophobic per say, but it's just the way they characterized a whole country in somewhat of a negative light, such as their committee, resources, and netizens.

    [collapse]
I just don't think those aspects were necessary. They didn't have to attach a character/team to a whole country. It's not as dramatic as I and others are describing it, but the feeling of that is there.

**Obviously, though, I loved this novel regardless of these questionable aspects. Just keep in mind not to attack another country's language and culture. Also, people are beautiful even if they're fat, have pimples, have small eyes, and are not dark! As long as you know this, reading this will just be a great story of a great relationship. Highly recommend!**

(Btw not dissing China only. I mean Korea usually always has Japan as the bad guy. Most Asian novels stereotypes America. That doesn't detract from this, though.) <<less

ICDI is just one of those novels that you decide to pick up after a long week and then look up Sunday night and realize you spent your whole weekend reading. It's an enjoyable experience for if you have nothing to do for two days. It's nothing special, you're not gonna develop some deep emotional attachment to the characters. But at the end of the day, if you wanna spend like 15 hours reading about a dumbass bluenette who simps harder than he flames, I'll encourage you.

Side note for the... more>> league players out there: it's not realistic at all. The way they play is platinum tier if I'm being generous. Also I cannot accept that they never once played the only canonical gay couple in League, especially since they both played the champions involved (Graves and Twisted Fate), just never together QAQ

My second favorite novel, I've read fives times completely at least.

Soft is absolutely amazing, his sharp tongue is funny, he's not someone that gets embarrassed or flustered, he really has a strong mentality. Road is also really badass, unashamed and so calm. I love them both so much, they really are good together. Also, the dads fans are the best. Can't leave them out.

This is definitively a read that is worth it. The story progression is good, it's funny and their love is very healthy, without s*upid or unnecessary misunderstanding,... more>> no third parties, etc. No ab*se from the MC or ML toward the others they're good for each other, which you gotta appreciate.

And I knew LOL already so I really got into every matches, it was so fun to read! <<less

To anyone seeing this review.. Just read the novel if you liked the summary and the premise. Don't listen to the negative reviews. I had put this novel on my TBR but didn't read it for a long time because of these bad reviews.

The ML and MC are both nice. I thought the MC would be annoying and the ML would be too domineering cos of the summary but thats not the case at all. MC is a short cutie capable of award winning tr*sh talk and ML was really... more>> gentle and sweet towards him. I loved their interactions until they got together and loved it more after they did. The side CP was so cute and I love them as much as the main CP. Though if I had to pick out what I loved the most it would be MC's interactions with his fans.

To talk about the bad reviews... I just have to ask, have none of you read a sports novel before? These people act like making the opponent evil was racist of the author to do..

First of all throughout the novel its stated multiple times that only that one korean team was being rude and racist towards our characters. They pount out how none of the other korean teams are like this.

Second of all most sports novels make opponent teams evil. That just makes it more interesting. It has nothing to do with the team being korean.

Thirdly have any of you seen real sports. Every sports fan will tell you that their country or club is the best and that other country's teams are just not good enough. That doesnt make anyone racist. It doesnt reflect that persons personal opinion of that country it just means the fans are very devoted to their own respective club or team.

People should just calm down a little as the author clearly didnt intend it as such. Stop making things up. <<less

It was nice for a light read.

The E-sports part was not really that intense or competitive. They didn't make it too detailed, just right.

And the romance came really late. It only happened near at the end.

They didn't get into the background of each characters that much.

Read if you want a really light novel.

Seems like I have to write a review if I want to rate it so... I'm not going to dig deep. I just want to say that this is utterly adorable! MC and ML are very refreshing, especially MC. I've met only a few characters like him before. I enjoy the other characters too :D It was very entertaining and fluffy to read, and it's pretty lighthearted. I braced myself for heavy angst but it never came (thank you for sparing my fragile heart!). Actually, I've been looking for a... more>> plot centered around e-sports but they're rarer than diamonds. Since this novel indulged me first, I may be a little biased towards it, so... even if I do feel the plot lacking in some aspects, I'd still rate it 1000/5 if I could! <<less

Rating: 4.6 (Purely based on my enjoyment)

This is one of the best e-sport novels...... with a very good gaming element and aspects and fights, Sweet Romance and one of the most unique fanbase present.

As someone who enjoy story with good gaming details and love to see/read people gameplay and aspects, this novel is a big plus point. It's so well written..... the competion and game atmosphere, the game character and gameplay action detail in slow-motion..... it totally hooked me. I haven't played LOL yet but I have played game similar to that (OA) and so it kinda gave nostalgic feel as I don't play games anymore
Spoiler

The scene where MC got the penta kill actually gave me goosebumps.

[collapse]

MC Soft...... I am one his fan dads now. This dumbass son of mine is pretty good at tr*sh taking and there isn't an argument he can't win....... he's such a badass who doesn't care a sh*t about other people opinion on him.... except for ML. When this son tried to look like good obedient boy infront of his idol (ML), it was kinda cute.

As for ML Road..... he is charming, rich and OP. He's cold+cool kinda guy...... that's all. There's nothing particular about him that stood out for me..... except one thing.
Spoiler

He didn't took the advantage of MC idolizing him and instead tried to show/tell the MC the real him...... I like that.

Also I don't totally hate guys who take advantage of things like that..... after all it's just fictional and all is fair in love and war

[collapse]

The Romance in here...... It was sweet and adorable and good and cute but I also find it bit lacking compare to this author other gaming BL novel (GHFOD) and (PUBG). Regardless it was still sweet and good.

Well, Chemistry wise I find Side Couple more attractive than main one (i am so into opposite attraction Story). Sadly it was only 7 chapter....... I wouldn't have mind reading a whole another book about them.

The major plus point for me in this novel aside from gaming element is the MC soft DadFanBase. MC relationship with his DadFanbase is unique..... you definitely won't find another DadFanbase like that (if you do, do tell me, thank you). The interaction between MC and His water army of dad is Interesting and hella funny........ better read yourself to get the grip of it. I'll miss this Fanbase

It was also Interesting to see the relationship between pro members.... especially TTC members.

Side characters were pretty good too. Among them (Excluding side couple) Savior was kinda my favorite.
Spoiler

I thought that he gonna be the arrogant guy as how TTC and PUD were both after him but then turn out that he's actually such a sweet, pure little dumpling. Who want to make friend with MC. I found it very funny and adorable when he started learning how to curse.

[collapse]

I also like how there were some RL e-sport problem too.

Now coming too the minus point..... Xenophobia.... well, this kinda issue happens a lot in novels (not only chinese) plus it's just fictional and Xenophobia issue is kinda used to bring up the antagonist environment or people...... so yeah, I usually just ignore it most of the time, but have to say MSI arc was bad.... it went too much, though I kinda enjoy it too [Sweat]..... but well, atleast they didn't shown whole korean team as the bad guy.

Also I was kinda hoping too see E-sport go more international. Sad that it lack in that area. Below not Spoiler, Just my comment
Spoiler

I was kinda hoping too that they would introduce more pro international player. Aside fron 3 korea player (master, 98k and savior), there isn't any other international pro player....... thought one was introduce a bit once (the one who was top jungler before ML), but after that there no more news about him plus every other international player we encountered in MSI was like NCP character. Even though not much details and dept, I wished author had introduce us to more international pro player..... like some international country player being no.1 support or no.1 ADC or the no.1 TOP and not like every chinese player be better than other country international player. It would have been so better that way.

[collapse]

Overall, This was novel was good and entertaining. I would love to re-read it again but before that got to play LOL to get familiar with the game chara.

*******

Thanks to the translator for translating this novel ❤️.
