Xu Yu's Warring States Survival Diary: Preface
My name is Xu Yu.
I freaking transmigrated.
The moment I opened my eyes, I was in the Qinling Mountains during the chaotic Warring States period in 234 BCE. There was no modern world, no safety, only nerves stretched taut.
Even more absurdly, the System in me didn't grant unmatched power or give me a cheat. It just gave me some food and drink so I wouldn't die.
Then it turned every day I struggled to survive into a diary-style novel.
For the first few dozen days after I transmigrated, I managed to hold on, thinking I just had to keep living in a different place.
But as time went on, I understood more clearly: there were no lucky breaks here, no kindness, only the brutal reality that human life was worth less than grass.
The System did only one thing: keep me alive as a last resort. Everything else, I had to fight for with my own flesh and blood, and pay for with my life.
There was no protagonist's aura, no divine weapon dropping from the sky, and no harem surrounding me. At most, I had one companion.
What I saw was the cold, rigid system of military ranks and honors in the Qin state, the mountains of corpses left by the seven kingdoms' wars, and the harsh reality of slaves, refugees, and soldiers struggling to survive amid the chaos.
This isn't a wish-fulfillment novel or fast food for numbing yourself and escaping reality. It's a true record of survival, of my bloody, step-by-step climb from the bottom.
The slow pace is because rising to power is a heavy undertaking; the gritty realism is because the Warring States period had no fairy tales; there are no cheats because I'm truly living through this, not putting on an act.
Rites and music lie shattered, desire devours the heart, and all beings kneel.
In a chaotic age, there is no loyalty; the Warring States bring only grief.
An ant's life isn't worth a single spear.
Others read a novel. I live a life.
This isn't fiction. It isn't a story.
This is Xu Yu's Warring States Survival Diary.
In this chaotic age, all I want is to survive.
The moves are domineering, simple and direct. The plot and fighting are realistic and logical. Not irrational. If you are reading this book and have any plots you want to see, you can tell me. I can add them, such as Li Xin and Fusu. As long as it does not violate the laws of historical development, it is the real situation. I'll try my best to write it, but don't tell me to make the protagonist the emperor. The protagonist has an ordinary way of thinking and is the kind of person who knows a little bit about kung fu. Normal people have a series of mental, political, and commanding skills. If they have not been systematically trained, they want to reach the heights of the ancients. Very very difficult. Support everyone! I can guarantee that the plot of this book was definitely edited by me, and at most polished and refined, but it is impossible to write with AI. You can tell at a glance that AI writing is an industrial-style emotional writing.
Yes, but the only drawback is that it is written too realistically, making it seem like it is less like a novel and more like a historical diary.
