Description
This captivating coming-of-age story set in the world of e-sports will have readers cheering for girl gamer Vicky Tan as she overcomes social anxiety, self-doubt, and an overprotective big brother to pursue her dream of becoming a competitive gamer. From the Tapas webcomic, a 2021 Eisner Award nominee.
High school student Vicky lives a secret life. To most, she is a meek pushover, often in the shadow of her e-sports superstar of a brother, Virgil.
Unknown to anyone, however, she dons a secret identity when she logs on to play Xenith Orion, the multiplayer game dominating the e-sports scene. She knows firsthand the harassment female gamers often experience, but when an opportunity arises in a local tournament, Vicky—mask in hand—cannot resist the challenge.
Sneaking around and hiding only works for so long, and once the truth comes out, what will it mean for Vicky and those who trusted her?

DPS Only! by Velinxi is praised for its vibrant and dynamic artwork, which beautifully captures the protagonist Vicky's emotional rollercoaster. The graphic novel explores complex themes such as toxic masculinity in e-sports and the journey towards self-identity, set in a compelling e-sports environment. Readers find it emotionally resonant and enjoyable, even for those unfamiliar with gaming, depicting Vicky's struggle for recognition and her nuanced relationship with her brother Virgil.
