    Both books are substantial, logically rigorous, and intellectually stimulating. The author adheres to a people-centered historical perspective. The first book attempts to deconstruct the dynastic cycle through fragments of heroic epics. The second book elucidates the importance of checks and balances, free market economics, and the author's view of history as a people-centered perspective (not inherently righteous and, in fact, often ignorant, but undeniably influencing the course of history). The first book, being new, features exhilarating action sequences, with every punch and strike feeling real and visceral. The second book, starting from volume three, includes extensive descriptions of large-scale military battles, which are quite impressive. Both books delve deeply into the power struggles, politics, economics, resources, and systems behind war, going beyond mindless fighting.

    Highly recommended! A slow-burn story set in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period (the protagonist is initially low-key, observing from the sidelines). It's not mindless, pretentious, or idiotic. There's no system, no cheat codes, no modern technology, but it has history, characters, war, and intrigue. It's about strategy, with an adopted son seizing power and controlling regional warlords, ultimately unifying the country and continuing the five-hundred-year-long golden age of the Tang Dynasty! A highly recommended new book!!
