Like a shiny new game but as time goes on you eventually end up frustrated and bored

First 20-25 episodes were great and engaging, as someone who likes gaming dramas I was curious to see what this one would bring to the table. Bottom line it didn't bring much. The last about 10 episodes, the writing started falling out and there were random plot lines brought in to create drama which I was not a fan and was got completely bored of. The cracks were definitely showing and the story dragged.

Cheng Xiao is not an actress and it definitely shows in this. Her costars outdo her by a mile, her best friend was an outstanding personality (she was my favorite hands down), xu kai was great, even the teammates I had more laughs with and enjoyed a lot.
And I just wanna say that Cheng Xiao is a beautiful girl but that haircut is NOT IT. I get she's supposed to be a normal girl and not as outstanding in looks but damn when her and xu kai stand next to each other, she looks boring and stiff. They couldn't even dress her up a little more for interviews or events?

Story was fine, I like competition of esports and it's obvious what this drama has to say about idol and fan relationships, especially with the new law in china about fans interacting on the internet. But definitely a downgrade in the last few episodes and totally could've been a 24 ep drama.

Anyways I enjoyed most of it but I would def say it's not on my list of top gaming dramas, definitely would pick king's avatar or gank your heart over this.
