The King's Avatar - Reviews

If you are REALLY curious about the meanings of character names, read below. Might be a little LONG. No spoiler.

First of all, we should know that Chinese is a tonal language, while English assigns stress to one syllable of every word. Tone is one of the distinctive features of standard Chinese(Mandarin). If we neglect the four tones in the transcription of Chinese names, we may lose/misunderstand informations, sometimes are quite important. Just look at these names: Chén Guǒ(Boss), Wèi Chēn(God of shamelessness), and Wǔ Chén(Captain of Team Everlasting). We’ve got three “Chen”s here but they don’t share the same tone. Yep, there are still two of them alike, but if we write them down in ideogram, you’ll see that they are completely different(of course their meaning varies). Now we’re at around Chapter 800, as a Chinese fan who has run through the whole novel four times, if you already find it hard remembering Chinese names, well, keep working, cuz still loads of new names ahead.
I mentioned this point just because I saw a comment saying their names are similar. In fact, not at all

yes

Does the game influence reality?

not to my knowledge

Sure, I'm fine with no romance and tbh. Romance stories exist for a reason

Hello, everyone!

I'm one of the translators working under NomYummi on TKA, Jouissance! Just here to say that we hope you're enjoying our translations (and our bonus chapters) and we'll do our best to carry this through and give you the best translations! TKA will be going through a bit of refining in the near future and remember to check the Wikia, where additional information can be found (but beware of spoilers!)

I myself am on chapter 1449 right now, and I can assure you that this novel just gets better and better, and even has an awesome prequel called Top Glory, so keep reading!

Also, some very shameless advertising:
There are two rather active discord channels that we know of (after I notified Nom of the existence of the comments section XD)
The following link goes to the less spoiler-filled, more chat-based, slightly more tame (???) and very, very active discord with bots aplenty.
https://discord.gg/PpRnvgK
The following link goes to the more art/fanwork-based and nearly equally as active discord that has a NSFW section and shippers aplenty.
https://discord.gg/GyHZgQT
They have both been previously advertised, but we decided to make it official. I think there might be more - I know there's apparently a dead one derived from the reddit - but me and Nom know of and are on these two, haha.
The next link takes you to the wikia!

And last but not least is our Patreon, where you can come to support us, read ahead and push us into releasing more often, haha!

Anyways, that's about all I have to say! Look forward to seeing you on the discord servers!

All the best,

God Of God

I remember this was the first story that got me into web novels to begin with. I remember watching the anime and instantly wanting more so i read the novel but man, i was really hoping for romance at the time.

I remember the author seemed to tease it too, it seemed like there were a few ships but they never sailed. I slowly got bored of the repetition and dropped it. Wasn’t a bad read tho, gotta just try it out and see if you’ll like it, just don’t expect an ounce of romance fr.

"The King's Avatar," a captivating and thought-provoking novel, immerses readers into a richly imagined world teeming with intricate characters and profound themes. At its core, the story revolves around a man named Ye Wenjie, who becomes an unlikely hero in a dystopian society where virtual reality gaming holds immense power. As the protagonist navigates the boundaries between reality and the digital realm, the novel explores the nature of identity, the power of community, and the consequences of unchecked technology.

The narrative weaves a tapestry of friendship, loyalty, and sacrifice, as Ye and his fellow gamers band together to fight against an oppressive regime. Through their struggles, the novel delves into the complexities of human connection in a world increasingly defined by virtual constructs. It raises questions about the blurred lines between truth and fiction, and the potential for empathy and redemption even in the face of overwhelming adversity.

What sets "The King's Avatar" apart is its ability to captivate while delivering a subtle commentary on contemporary issues. It serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the importance of authenticity and the need for balance in our reliance on technology. Ultimately, this compelling novel invites readers to reflect on the role of humanity in a rapidly evolving digital landscape, leaving a lasting impression long after the final page is turned.

I have no intention to write a review cuz I finished this novel for almost 2 years, however, I just cross to the authors Weibo and find something he has to say about this story and readers.

Here's his Weibo page if anyone is interested:

So here it is(I'm sorry if some of my translations are different from the novel cuz I basically didn't read it):

Butterfly Blue:
  King's Avatar has a rather ****** storyline, an out-dated professional retired and started from the beginning then returned to the top.
  Stories like this aren't something new (Note: based on Chinese WN variety and non-gaming novels), and there are just two types of ending for them, either hero at miserable late years, which is more objective, realistic but sad; because of that I chose the other way, make it back to the top with glory.
  This kind of ending is more enjoyable, like most of the fairytales. However, in competitive sports, that's not that unrealistic, some people just have that kind of potential, keep their high-level performance way past their peak age. E.g. Micheal Jordan, returned to NBA at 32 in 1995, since then till 35 years old, these 3 years he kept the championship in his pocket, made others to feel the fear of domination again.
  In this case, Ye Xiu didn't do anything nearly crazy, but he is this kind of person - in the area of Glory competitive gaming, a premium player. What makes it even worse for others is that as a genius he also had the passion, concentration, and diligence which stronger than anyone, even in the last year of his pro-life, he led a team he gathered at retirement and fought so hard towards the championship.
  What he wanted was not leaving no regrets behind, he was way past that point, championship means nothing to him, he had that a long time ago, hell he actually dominated the league for ages, if he liked he would just say "Glory(the game) has no more challenge to offer me" and leave. He didn't, not because "Championship means everything to me", more important thing is that he loved the game.
  Quote Ye Xiu "I won't be bored with this game even for another 10 years."
  This kind of constant passion, for a story that's just one sentence, but to do it in real life, that's something different, that's harder than you can ever imagine. Myself, for example, writing novels for over 10 years, although interests keep me going, compare to where I was, I can't just say I'm still that passionate and aggressive - please don't bother to count my update frequency back then, I had worse update stability back then I know, but writing status and mood was much more active.
  So whenever people ask me if the MC is based on myself, I'll deny it directly without a second thought.
  How could it be? Characters in this story are way bigger and better than me. The reason I made them that way is that they are what I want to be.
  I'm so glad that my dream causes so many people's resonance. Thankfully Ye Xiu can be welcomed by so many people.
(Skipped some of the otherwise concerned words)
  Last but not least, I'd like to point something out for all my beloved readers.
  This story and all the characters in are fiction, please keep rational love to them. There are a lot of things in your life such as health, family, work, study, friends, etc are more important. TKA, Ye Xiu and all other things in the story should just be something that amuses you from time to time, don't ever mind it too much.
  With this novel, they will always be here. If I don't change anything, then they will stay the way they are.

Amazing world and detail. Not your generic type novel it actually has feelings and every character introduce is unique. To be honest it is most likely the best novel I've ever read in my life time.
