There is one thing Jason love’s more than anything in the world, esports. In fact, he wants to become the best Dota 2 player in the world. That’s why he recently joined a competitive team, only to find out later. That he joined an all girls team. And while pretending to be “Emily” online is one thing, offline this might prove to be a lot more difficult.
The goal is to release at least 2 chapters week, but this might change based off real life stuff. As I currently don't really have a big backlog. This being my first work of writing, consistency is still a bit of a struggle

This story has the best trans main character I've read in a long time, except maybe the one in "how can I save the world if I'm not longer a hero". She feels so well rounded and realistic, especially with her anxious attachment. Not to say other trans stories are bad, but it's rare to see the main characters with any obvious flaws while still being sympathetic. A very well written character arc, and core struggle that includes her trans issues but isn't exclusive to it. The other characters are also extremely memorable, with their own lives going on, though we've only teased deeply for some.

Two things to begin with.
First, I have provided input on this story to a fair extent, although I’ve been rather lax with my beta’ing lately thanks to having been laden with various real life tasks (and also a small writing project for my own audience). So, I am very biased on the quality of this story.
Second, this is a story which, while fairly uneven with its technical aspects (albeit excusably so, as Gwenington is a non-native English speaker), is a fantastic story with a good degree of nuance in how it addresses trans identity and teenage relationships. It uses its setup effectively, delivers many emotionally satisfying moments, and will hopefully continue to receive the attention it deserves.
5/5, recommended.
