It is an animation with MMORPG or online gaming genre, kind of Sword Art Online-ish or SAO-ish but different, much closer to E-sport.
I have no knowledge of Chinese anime/animation/donghua 中国动画。 Just saying. The King's Avatar 全职高手 has over 760 million of viewers on a Chinese site, as of 24 June 2017. I'm sure there is more than just one Chinese site that had it.



Synopsis:
Widely regarded as a trailblazer and top-tier professional player in the online multiplayer game Glory, Ye Xiu is dubbed the "Battle God" for his skills and contributions to the game over the years. However, when forced to retire from the team and to leave his gaming career behind, he finds work at a nearby internet café. There, when Glory launches its tenth server, he throws himself into the game once more using a new character named "Lord Grim".

Ye Xiu's early achievements on the new server immediately catch the attention of many players, as well as the big guilds, leaving them to wonder about the identity of this exceptional player. However, while he possesses ten years of experience and in-depth knowledge, starting afresh with neither sponsors nor a team in a game that has changed over the years presents numerous challenges. Along with talented new comrades, Ye Xiu once again dedicates himself to traversing the path to Glory's summit!

In the meantime, do check out 微微一笑很倾城 Just One Smile is Very Alluring aka LOVE O2O. It is one of the most celebrated TV series and idol drama with the online gaming genre. TV series or movies with the online gaming genre is a niche genre and very rare, unlike anime. 初遇在光年之外 Beyond Light Years (2018) is another one that I know; China production, shot in Singapore. I could hardly name anymore. Do let me know if you know any.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_O2O_(TV_series)

Synopsis:
Xiao Nai is a gaming expert who, courtesy of his basketball skills, academic excellence, swimming talent and game company presidency, also happens to be the most popular student on campus. When he first comes across the gorgeous computer science major Bei Wei Wei, the infinitely talented wunderkind immediately falls in love. But it’s not Bei’s looks that he notices; it’s the ridiculous mastery with which she is commanding her guild and owning everyone in an online multiplayer game that makes her impossible to forget. Now, Xiao Nai must use his skills both in real life and online to capture the adorable but dorky Bei’s heart. But does their love have the XP to succeed, or will this relationship never level up?

Sometime in 2019. Just wait.

I do not follow its Weibo or anything.

I have been told that the novel's story is longer than the animation series.

Animation - Season 2 preview

You are referring to the special eps or OVA. It is not 2nd season.
