First off, Joy Of Life is a novel. It has the pacing, characterization, and plotting of a novel. If you come in expecting the usual face-slapping webnovel trash, you'll be disappointed. No, lie down, grab a cup of tea, and properly savor this. Characterization is where Joy of Life shines. The enemies feel like real people, with their own goals, values, and interests. Hell, some of 'em go on to become friends! As for plotting and action, it's well done. Fight scenes feel tense, the protagonist gets his badass moments, and generally nothing feels too gunky and overdone. If I have one complaint, it's that Joy of Life's protagonist--it's hard to pinpoint what he wants, really. Who is he? What are his goals? The emotional drive of the story, or at least the protagonist's contribution to it, can seem hollow sometimes. In short, this story is a 5/5 by the standards of webnovels, but as a serious novel...it's good, but nowhere near great.
Translator is a son of a ***** that stopped translating, i hope someone picks this up cuz its a good story! Fuck you translator
If I could say what this is, it is a "masterpiece," it is the best sports novel in web novels. Although the system is OP which people complain about, it isn't that bad as in football you could still win or lose, he worked for it through training and rewards. Plus there are many factors that are included also. The character development is unique in a sense but is refined, I just hope that the MC doesn't date a gold digger in the future. The updates are constant, in which it is updating almost every day. The background of the world is the same as our real world with some real-life figures in the beautiful game. The character design is also really simple, I just hope that he can do stuff like recaps of what character looks like and their current stats. Overall the story is pretty good, although I don't want him to play with the DR Congo national team. Unless they get a huge boost in the squad which is probably going to happen. But I don't want him to play at AFCON which is not as popular as the Copa De Americas or the EUROS. But overall the story is perfect and I hope that it goes that way in the future.
I dropped after chp 35he is a god among man and turned into some kind of hero persona? his past life of 65 years with personality just lost to that of a 10 year old without much impact? Rip Gary and the goddes efforts in preserving him...The plot is essentialy making a new character in a troubled world as a god among mortals because of his past life even though it has no active or obvious impact on him, and now sending him as a 15 year old into the world as hero in making which forces him to fight against his (kinda) evil sister, later the probably demons/the dark continent and since the goddes reincarnated him into another gods territory without asking/permissions he will probably have to fight gods later on,... probably ending with him at the top of power as some kind of superhero god, who has an idea of life because of his combat and generel life aswell as his experience on this journey.My conclusion, you cant even call it reincarnation because Gary isnt alive anymore and his original personality, memories and soul totaly dominated by a 10 year old in a forced way (since he had a hard life and still found joy in it, giving him a rather strong mind). I expected him to be reincarnated, try to find new love in his new life in his new family, lay low and get control over his absurd strenght and relax or be more retracted from his material life (because he had a hard life and had to digest the family death), but that could also be me influenced by the asian novels.However what remains standing, influenced by asian novels or not, that in my eyes Gary should be the one in control with his life, not be utterly dominated and used as foundation nojrishment by the plot armor protagonist Zell. That is not a reincarnation fanfic (since the reincarnator is "dead"), this is just giving a clever reason to make a OP af MC.
Please make this story long!

I liked this one. I think it didn’t need to be so graphic but that’s me
Author uses the same descriptive words way too frequently. There’s TONS of editing needed to be done as well but it was a good read
