Blurb: In the online game Glory, Ye Xiu is regarded as a textbook and a top-tier pro-player. However, due to a myriad reasons, he is kicked from the team. After leaving the professional scene, he finds work in an Internet Cafe as a manager. When Glory launches its tenth server, he who possesses ten years of gaming experience once again throws himself into the game. Bringing with him the memories of his past and an incomplete, self-made weapon, his return along the road to the summit begins! After fighting and scheming, who snatched away my glory? Under the tossing of the wind and rain, my dreams shall still appear as though they had never been shattered. In all its splendor, the path shall never be lost. Before the gazes of millions, this is where I return!
Review: This is my favourite Chinese Web-novel that I've read so far. The story is really well mapped out from the beginning, and for those who enjoy computer games this book does a fantastic job of portraying an ideal form of them. The English translations are quite good for this book, so please don't let that turn you off. The accompanying anime series is also stellar, and I'd recommend giving it a shot. For those who are interested in progression fantasy, or stories revolving around one large central quest, then I think this can be right up your alley despite the lack of any fantasy elements.
