Finding out that this was originally supposed to be a manga explained everything and now I’m revising all my reviews to give it 5 stars because it is so fun. Truly the Riverdale of books. Bending the rules of reality because the author has never lived in reality.

Important: Do NOT take this as me recommending the series. Unless you’re my friend and you’re funny.

I'm really disappointed, I'd heard so many good things and I was really looking forward to this but it just was not for me. I didn't really like any of the characters and it did not hold my attention well, plus the whole sports thing was not for me.

I adore this book, which is very embarrassing to admit.

If you like terribly written books with amazing characters, then I recommend this book.

To be honest, the first book in this series is more of a really really long first chapeter; but if you can get through it, the series does become better.

The plot doesn’t make sense.  Following Neil Josten, a serial killers son who’s been running from his father all his life and has finally decided to stop running in order to follow his life long dream of becoming an “exy” star (a made up, extremely dangerous sport) on an collage team made up of lost young people. And you may be thinking “Why would I want to read a book about a fictional sport” well I thought that too, and trust me you shouldn’t want to read it it’s shit.

The opinions on the characters  change with each reader, however If you don’t like any of them there’s a very VERY slight chance of you liking this book.

The character appearances canonically and how many members of the Fandom view the characters differs. Overall, it's not a bad storyline.
