Description

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

Chief tactician Lin Yan entered an e-sports novel. At this time, there was still a whole year to go before the original plot started.

The big devil who would frighten people in the future was still a thin-skinned little anchor; the disaster who once disturbed the e-sports circle was playing as an accompanying player; the best healer was sitting on the cold bench of a third-rate team; the strongest king at shooting his mouth off offending the media and his black materials were flying all over the place…

They would shine as the plot progressed but unfortunately, their teams weren’t strong enough. In the end, they couldn’t escape the fate of a cannon fodder.

Lin Yan couldn’t bear to see these talents being wasted. The e-sports professional reality show started and he spent money to set up the GH Club, moving from east to west to select his team.

The variety fans: ??? Is this ‘Go Home’ team picking up the junk?

This lasted until all the opponents were coughing up blood at GH’s tactics and could only watch GH get a ticket to the professional league.

The entire e-sports circle knew that apart from their captain Jing Yuanzhou, the entire GH team was a group of barely qualified variety show players not worth paying attention to. As a result, this toxic team swept through the field and reached the top in their first year of the league.

When the media interviewed GH: Captain Jing, why did you agree to Coach Lin’s proposal and join GH?

Jing Yuanzhou: He pestered me every day saying ‘I want you’. It was really difficult to turn down such great kindness.

Lin Yan: “???”

Check the salary deduction warning.

The entire Internet went crazy: Parental love is real!!!

Complete (100% read) highly recommended! First off, I want to compliment Rainbow Mushroom's translation! I've read several and each time they do a wonderful job, especially with Author Green Plum Sauce's particular style of story!

Secondly, this really is a fun read! It manages to carry both it's main plot and the side stories forward with ease, while making sure such a large cast is still 3 dimensional! It's hard to keep a story with so many characters from getting bogged down, but Toxic Assembly is a perfect example of Big... more>> Cast/Big Story/Big Payoff! I cared about every member, even the silly "enemy" teams :) plus, the gameplay was really fantastic! I'm not a gamer at all and I was still completely riveted every time! This is a novel well worth the read!

I like Lin Yan's smart mouth & tr*sh talk brother. It was a good novel but I found so much game dialogue made the story a little lacking, it was filled up with so much tactical play although interesting, there was no room for little else. I found it too mild in the romance department.

Reread twice already! It’s such a good esport novel! Loving the chemistry between MC ML, other characters also have diverse background story. Some knowledge on how MOBA games work might be needed to understand this novel since it really stays true to being an esport novel.

MC - Cunning fox, calm and rational, shameless, knows what he wants

ML - Cool and mature for his age, shameless when needed, occasionally shows the vulnerability suitable for his age.

There’s no angst, just wholesome. I wish there’s a little more of emotional rollercoaster but this... more>> wholesomeness of competitions through leagues and everyone trying their best is good too! Will reread it again after I forgot the story! <<less

Put off reading this for a long time because of the word “toxic” in the title and the summary which seemed draggy and not to the point. Would say that the “toxic” is quite misleading—not so much toxic as individuals with past history, some negative, some low key; and overall attitude of the team defies the ‘usual team styles’ which is on the verge of cliche.

Really need to have some e-sports tower pushing background knowledge/interest to get into the novel. Would say I enjoyed most all of the romance bits... more>> between the two leads—the misunderstanding start, build up, hinting around, open & upfront. But I really wish it were more predominant (personal preference). The entrance assembly tv show was an interesting format, but the backstory of supporting characters could have been built in a better natural flow to get properly invested in the twists & turns. You can obviously see where the competition is going to end up—the foreshadowing is obvious such that there really isn’t much suspense to the games, which end up becoming a bit boring. Which is a bit of a waste because MC’s tactics seem quite interesting & versatile so I wish it were written/story structured in a more engaging manner.

Spoiler

MC’s PTSD and subsequent attempts to overcome it and even managing to play with ML on a global stage was really satisfying though. I also liked that it was an eventual process that added flavour to the story. But I wish there was more elaboration on it.

[collapse]

Overall, made it to chapter 130-150 before feeling repetitive (I think, can’t really remember). I appreciate the effort spent to build the other team members’ backstories but feel like I really needed more interactions between the team members to solidify the dynamics & get me invested. Most of it they just pop up when the focus side character needs support, other than that they don’t feature much.

If just the romance, a strong 4; as an e-sports novel 3.5+ had potential but could be better written. Would likely not re-read ‘cause it got too draggy towards the end. <<less

Most of the esport novels has the main characters as teammates, but in this story our MC is the coach instead. MC and ML has a great dynamic, their relationship development was gradual and really sweet to watch blossom.

A very wholesome and fluffy story, and just like the summary said the parental love is real. Coach Lin cares very much about everyone that he recruited and put so much effort in the team. The journey of reading though Lin Yan's trauma and love for esport really carved a place in... more>> my heart. <<less

Just an aside: as with any e sports novel, you'll have to at least be familiar with how tower-pushing MOBA works because this game was made up by the author. While things can be substituted (soldiers=minions, base tower=inhibitor turret, etc) a lot of the terms are still the same (jungler, sidelane having a fighter/tank and marksman; midlane having a roaming mage, core items, economy, etc) things may still be confusing if you have no idea why they're important — the buffs/jungle monsters being a trigger for clashes, for example, or... more>> why setting up a 4-man assassin or a tank team is considerable tactics.

Overall, this was an easy read. The characters are much older than your usual e sports novels, which I suppose brought about the conversation about retirement and health, but that gave this book the stability it needed especially with how completely unhinged LY is as a main character. His adjustment period to having been transmigrated was never addressed in the story itself, just glossed over, and it's something fresh and easily appreciable — he never saw the people or their lives as "canon fodder" or "unimportant" and did everything he could to give everyone the chance and space they needed to become the best players that they could be. While I never really figured out what the original plot was, I'm thankful the JCY got one more year to play instead of having to retire right off the bat. <<less

I LOVE THIS AHHHH

honestly this novel reminds me so much of a sports manga that I've read months ago. Both the protagonist were coaches of their respective clubs. Though the only difference is, this one is about e-sports while the other one is about football.

Anyways, I'm only in chapter 20 but I already love this novel. I love the flow of the story, it's not fast nor slow pace, it's perfectly balance. Also, I like that the story not only focuses in the main characters but the side characters as... more>> well. I can already see myself loving these characters more as the story progresses (≧◡≦)

I'm a sucker for concepts like this where a small and unknown team suddenly smashes the other teams so I'm excited to read more ☆*:.｡.o (≧▽≦) o.｡.:*☆ <<less

All the character (including the side characters) are well written and they have proper backstories to them which really pulls you in. The gaming descriptions aren't needlessly long and don't break the flow of the story. Basically what I want to say is, I freaking loved it. <<less

This novel is simply introducing to you another mindmaster with critical analytical ability and overall expert in mind games - ✨Lin Yan✨

This is an E-sports based novel. And it is indeed a bit tough to understand the gaming procedure if you are new to this, but I promise the struggle is completely worth it!! Even when you don't understand the gaming part much, the jest and thrill alone will encourage you to keep reading!! And with time, you’ll actually understand the tactics more and more.

This is a gift for people... more>> who Love TEAM or SQUAD interactions. As the game is 5 player team, there will be the interaction between many teams. Our main CP is the 🔥Captain X Coach🔥 of our main team and the interaction and bond between the whole team is so cute and sweet!!!

The mindmaster is our shou. The tactics he uses for each battle and his understanding of his own and other groups and the overall game is so high, it will leave you stunned!! Dude is also an expert in everyday mindgames of people too!! You can't help falling in Love with the way his brain works!

Aside from our main CP, there are also 3 other very clearly hinted couples in the e-sports circle!! And another two very potential ship! 👀 Oh, did I forget to mention yet? This is also another 💥Shameless X Shameless💥 CP. Along with our "parents cp" (cause our sweet coach and captain is like the parent of the team) sweeping everyone around with their shamelessness and random shove of dog food, there is also pure comedy from the misery of the single dogs! 🧛🏽‍ This novel is a beautiful combination of tactics, comedy, secondhand embarrassment, sweetness, cuteness, mutual understanding, tacit team bonding, revenge in the field, perfect face-slap, very enjoyable tr*sh talk and a very very good plot perfectly worth of your time! I guarantee 💯

Not only each player of the team is unique and cool in their own way, but also every other character has a really good character development! You can't help falling in love with almost every character in the novel. It's truly beautiful!

Ah and though this is originally an parallel transmigration novel, that has almost nothing to do with the main story, aside from Lin Yan knowing information about things that will happen way long in future. We'll, that's it! Happy reading if you pick it up!! Enjoy!! <<less

I don't want to go into the game mechanics too much. The reason because there wasn't much in the first place. For the first half of the novel I honestly don't know what game they are even playing? I didn't feel any excitement during those games earlier because I have no clue what going on, it wasn't until the latter half it got better. But really you still feel the author is just writing out of thin air and makes things up as it goes along. I don't feel the... more>> tension at any game through out due to the lack of details alot of times. We even got to the point where 20th minute... x kill y 35 minute y kill x.. 40 minutes.. Victory line by line description summary were used for short descriptions.. you get what I mean?

It wasn't going to be 5 stars but it was saved by the relationship of Coach Lin and Captain Jing. These 2 are smooth, are really comfortable to ship. Lin Yan is such a magnetic person, whatever he do just draws you in. He's such a tough character where Captain Jing is the only one where he can show weakness and be conquettish to. I find warmth when I read the stuff they say, just makes me very fluff and comfortable.

Usually in Esport novel game mechanics are important in this genre but for once this relationship really can make it worth to read. I have no regrets in this case. <<less

Wow, so good! Great tr*sh talk, great characters and development. Almost cried at the ending and a few other emotional moments. I love how everyone was OP and great. Just... love. I've also never thought much about the Ban and Pick stage or much of a coach's contribution, but the way it is handled here is awesome.

This is kind of an isekai, but it doesn't come up often since these events take place a year before the "novel" starts, so very minor isekai vibes. Mostly just there so we know... more>> how Lin knows who the best hidden gem players are.

Super fun read, highly recommend. <<less

more of a 4.5/5 than 5/5 (EDIT I LIED I LOVE IT ITS MY FAV DANMEI MAYBE..)

. Because the author didnt explore the past life of lin yan/the isekai genre enough!!!!

... more>>
Spoiler

jing yuanzhou clearly witnessed lin yan's panic at the finals (national, not world championship) when ly was sick and jyz wanted to go buy medicine. he saw the sorrow and stuff and he also knows that ly has ptsd n trauma. plus it was mentioned that lin yans dad was the same dad he had in his prev life! def not a coincidence!!!

[collapse]
but these were never developed even in the extras which is really such a pity! I was hoping since the start that jyz would ask abt his ptsd or ly wld tell him abt it. could confess abt his past life n just explain everything too. though that didnt happen : (was really looking forward to it since this was an isekai esports (first ISEKAI esports ive ever seen so yea)

other than that tho this is rly perfecttt I love it so much

chen yushen is also soo cute as well as gu luo etc but I feel like there wasnt much to see abt the team itself. they didnt really have much of a presence other than when gaming or when having to witness main cp dog food. like when they have holidays the first thing they do is go home. I dont really see them hang out outside of for the purpose of practice/celebrating TT though theyre stuck with each other all day long so I guess its normal. plus ofc I get that visiting home during the holidays is much more important but it wld have been nice to see an extra talking about one day theyre hanging out idk like at the beach or just going out and having fun yk! I also wish there were extras of the team members' daily lives... this part doesnt affect my rating tho, its just that I grew too attached to the team n want to see more haha.

ok 1 more thing but when
Spoiler

lin yan n jian ning came in to sub at the finals of world championship, it was more boring than expected. I thought there wld be more details esp since it was the finals but not rly. but yea still doesnt affect my enjoyment of the novel much. I just suddenly rmbed abt it aft seeing another review say the final was kinda boring lol

5/5

My first eSports novel was LOVE YOU 59 SECONDS and since I'm a little fan of this category. But I must say this is the only novel that gave me the "everything complete" feeling.

The author did a brilliant job describing every teams' and every players' emotions. Often authors tend to only focus on the main couples or things related to them. But here author actually described others as well and did it absolutely beautifully. The hardship behind the success also showed here.

The most loving fact about this novel is MC's... more>> character! He remember his grudges, encourage everyone, absolutely supportive, cunning, cheerful, all time confident about what he's doing, he's also confident to his team members, and sometimes naive (only for ML though).

Every detail is described with reason and this thing makes everything complete!

But! I! Wanted! Side! CP!

And there were even so many options to pick from! But anyways I myself self-made some CP's! So yay! <<less

★★★★★ [4.5/5 stars]

Not gonna lie, I'm totally so into e-sports BL now. It's not surprising that I enjoyed this novel so much, just like how I enjoyed reading ICDI because they definitely have the same vibe, from the e-sports aspect to the humour, great teamwork and of course, the fluffy, fuzzy romance between the MC and the ML.

I would have given this a 5 star rating just like ICDI because I loved everything about this novel. The only thing that made me cut off a half point is because of... more>> the 'transmigration' part. I mean, you would have easily overlooked that the MC actually transmigrated because he was already in the 'other world' from the beginning and the mention of him transmigrating was only like a paragraph or two. There was no explanation about it, no 'how' and 'why' it happened and it was like the transmigration was there just for the sake of having it there, no explained reason. The flow of the story can be done without the transmigration part, but it's not unpleasant. I just feel like it's unnecessary.

But overall, there's nothing negative I can say. I loved how the author concluded the ending. The ML finally got the rest he deserved after playing (mistreated) for years, and how the MC fully supported him with his decision. The ending has the best retirement outcome he could have, and I can totally understand his softness towards the MC because if there's no MC, he could have stayed being wronged in his old team and retired with so much regret. He received the warmth he needed. I just love this couple so much, their distinct personalities and how their relationship progressed. The ambiguity of their relationship in the beginning was also so hilarious. I highly recommended this novel so much. It's just a light read, no angst and unnecessary drama, full of fluffy and heartwarming moments. You'll find yourself laughing so hard one moment, then suddenly stuffed with so much dog food a moment later. Go read this!!! <<less

Spoiler

I kinda wish that the author would give us a sneak peek of what would happen after the actual "main character" of the story arrived at the team to replace ML. I also liked the short stories, so ambiguous with the relationships with the other characters. Like DeMen (probs didn't spell right) and AI. AI is so adorable, the way he acted like a child and DeMen coaxing him was just too much fluff for me to take

This is a very light and cute novel. I recommend this to you if you want to read E-Sports settings with a fluff, and a bit sprinkle of comedy.

The novel was really lighthearted. They mainly focused on hilarious interactions of the characters, GH's way to the World Championship, and the fluff (which is really cute).

Many times I became a mom fan while reading. I'm mainly a mom fan of Abyss/Chen Yusheng. Like, he's so precious, you know.

Another thing, I really like the way they ended the novel.

... more>>
Spoiler

They introduced the (I think) most crucial character at the end. It's the original protagonist, Spear. [Surprise_surprise. Jpg]

[collapse]

On talking about this. The Author was really vague of the details like, why did Lin Yan transmigrated? And in what manner or situation did he transmigrated? Did he die? Killed? Or aged?

Did he really transmigrated? Or did he wear the book? Is it really just a book? There's so many mysteries about his former life that didn't got concluded that I'm a bit unbalanced. This is one of the unsatisfactory points of CAMP. [Pout. Jpg]

And another thing. It's a character named Chen Jingxing (correct me if I'm wrong). His role in the story was really suspicious. He got specially named and even mentioned twice or thrice but after that he's gone. Poof! Like a bubble.

Lin Yan talked about 'stealing CJX's resources'. My question is, what is this resources? And why did he want to steal his resources? Was there a grudge or simply a competition? [Confused. Gif]

Due to fluff, I throw this on the back of my mind. Now that I'm doing a review, it winded back. That's just my thoughts but still a great read.

I shipped some characters, and I hope in another world, they successfully sailed. [Verge_of_crying. Jpg]

I'm officially saying,

Goodbye, CAMP. <<less

The story basically revolves around the turning point of the lives of the cannon fodders in the original novel at the appearance of MC.

Here, MC and the other characters can be seemingly OP when working together but there are no gains without losses. It was entertaining but later on---how to say--- things became somewhat predictable? I don't know why but I was expecting more. And ending the novel with the mention of the original protagonist and cutting it off from there, seemed to abrupt. It's somewhat like a cliffhanger off... more>> to which we we'll never know the plot progress to. And even then, there's no mention off it in the extras when I'm more vested in it than what the extras contain.

It just left me with question marks. <<less
