This book is excellent; the author's writing style is superb. It's one of the more enjoyable Three Kingdoms books I've read so far. While it lacks some historical rigor, it's more humorous and entertaining. I have high hopes for this book and the author, and I hope he updates soon! Keep it up! (ง•̀_•́)ง
This is an absolutely hilarious book, definitely worth having. 😂😂😂😂😂
Overall, it's a lighthearted and humorous read. The protagonist is incredibly powerful, yet he enjoys slacking off. Cao Cao isn't as suspicious as portrayed in historical records, making for a very enjoyable read. His generals and strategists also create various comedic situations. It's a great book, the second novel I've read on Tomato Bookstore, and the one that took me the longest to finish. I recommend it to new readers. (｡･ω･｡)
To be honest, I've been reading Tomato's novels for five years, and this is the first one I've read with a perfectly happy ending. Every character is so vividly portrayed that I probably won't be able to get into any other Three Kingdoms novels. Goodbye, may we meet again in the future!
Of all the Three Kingdoms novels, this is the most enjoyable one I've ever read. The author is adept at using internet slang and references, and the writing is smooth, natural, and humorous. Moreover, the subject matter is fresh, making it a truly excellent work.
It's a pretty good book. Although it has a harem element, aside from the maid who was chosen as a child bride and Zhang Ning, the main characters are all pursued by the other female leads! It's worth reading to pass the time! 😂😂😂
This is a very funny historical time-travel novel. Although it has been altered into a mess, it does not affect my personal score of 9.7.
This is my absolute favorite Three Kingdoms novel; it's practically a god in my heart!! (Although if we were to rank them overall, it would only be second, since first place is reserved for my vision 😄😄)
This is a hilarious novel full of witty banter, very entertaining, and most commendable of all, it didn't have a bad ending! It's just that the author, near the end, first made the readers cry, then made them laugh again. Well done!
Overall, it's very good. The problem was that they wrote everything in that direction. Every joke is interpreted in that direction. If the book ban is lifted, This book is definitely going to be banned. Humor is fine, but don't always corrupt the reader's mind and poison ethics.
