League of Reading is an MOBA game that is played in visual novel style. In this game, the player goes through the queue and character selection screen as usual. However, instead of controlling the character like most MOBA games, the player read through dialogue and scenarios.

The game will be played in turns. Each player gets to perform a certain amount of actions depends on their character's traits. The player can choose options such as "aim XXX skill to left", "tries to escape" and "use XXX item".

Each time a player does an action, they'll be prompted with dialogue from the player's character and their opponent's character. For example:

P1 chooses to use skill XXX. P1's character might say "I sneakily walked behind Character XXX. Just as I'm about to do a surprise attack he noticed me."

P2's character might reply "Haha! Not quite there! Try harder next time!"

Player gets an optional turn if they are about to get hit by a spell. During this optional turn, they can choose to block, dodge or attempt to escape.
