I'm following "Three Kingdoms: From Cannon Fodder to Chess Player"—the premise of a cannon fodder character rising to become a chess player is so captivating! The plot doesn't drag, the characters develop, and you can tell the author put a lot of effort into writing it. For a first-time novel writer, this is already so solid—keep it up, I'm rooting for you!
I quite liked the book's perspective; watching the protagonist grow felt grounded and realistic. However, the latest battle in Jingnan, with its detailed descriptions of combat and strategy, felt incredibly real, like each battle was fought with its own sharp edge. This detail wasn't off-putting, but almost all the writing focused on Jingnan.
Unlike other Three Kingdoms novels, this one has its own unique style, especially the scene where the attempt to recruit Zhuge Liang fails—it's very believable, and that's the starting point of a good novel. The logic is clear, the plot is rigorous, and the protagonist's aura is natural and believable; he doesn't just casually recruit powerful figures. This makes the plot more reasonable, which is what I like and admire most about the author. Keep up the good work, author! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I hope you'll all support my new book. Love you all.
To each their own; if the writing and plot are both subpar, this type of book will ultimately appeal to a minority. It's still worth checking out if you're looking for something to read.
I took a look, but I'm a bit confused. Is it based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Records of the Three Kingdoms? Both mention it, but it's probably set in the world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, right?
The protagonist has no system or cheat codes, and Zhuge Liang appears quite early, exuding the imposing presence befitting a top strategist.
This is great! Definitely deserves five stars! It's interesting.
Well written, not a mindless wish-fulfillment story 😄 It's really good, why is the rating so low? [What?]
Very good-looking and worth recommending
