i am emerging from my three day binge-read of this novel with a raging headache from staring at my phone screen for too long and with a massive toothache from all the sweet moments
icdi was my first esports novel and even though the only games i play is animal crossing/sims i was sitting there rooting for TTC the whole entire time. i started idci for the main couple and stayed for them but also stayed for the phenomenal cast of characters. seriously! i had no clue that i would not only root for the rest of the team but also the opposing teams too (XIU & savior my beloveds).
the romance between road and soft had me kicking my feet and hiding my face from second hand embarrassment (rip soft you never had a fighting chance) because even though the romance was slow there were so many endearing moments sprinkled in. road and soft were lovely and hilarious and full of chemistry—i thought for sure things would head into toxic territory since there is an age gap and the whole idol worship thing going on but surprisingly…it never did. every time there a misunderstanding it was cleared up within the same chapter because the characters knew how to communicate and trust each other.
icdi was pretty much all fluff & humor with barely any angst but considering i’m reading heavier novels rn this was a perfect little treat. esports was the last genre i thought i would ever get into but now i’m currently on my way to picking up the authors other two books in the same universe
p.s. soft’s water fans are one of my favorite things about this book. every time there were comments from his ‘dad’s’ i would be snickering and internally saying similar things in my mind. they were constantly dragging soft through the mud and always there to witness his most embarrassing moments. soft is a tsundere who would only be soft for road so it makes since that his fanbase were the same way
