Sports plots aren't usually something that draws me, but the team dynamics, and the sports obsession as a background and driving motivation for the characters worked out very well.
For anyone interested in this, please check out content warnings first. The first book is already intense but starts comparatively tame. Going to include content warnings for all books in the series for this one.

This does mean that I'm looking forward to the next book(s)!
I do have to say, that the writing definitely already picks up towards the end of the book, from

i have seen this series a lot on social media as being crazy and good despite it being about sports. i usually read fantasy books so this was a change for me and i was pleasantly surprised. i did find myself getting a bit bored towards the end but i think the end of the book sets up the sequel pretty well. i am invested in Neil’s story and his interactions with other players on his team, plus his inevitable future storyline with || riko and his family who are intertwined with neil’s real past life. i also hope to find out more about who neil was before, and if his teammates will learn of his real identity||
it’s short, free, and enjoyable, so i’d say it’s pretty worth the read if you are looking for something.

My list applies for the entire series. Absolutely not for the faint of heart, take care of yourself. If literally any of this bothers you, do NOT read this or any other book in the series, I am so serious.ephemeral_remi's review against another edition
