    This is the best true Three Kingdoms novel ever. Others are just lousy stories, turning a proper Three Kingdoms tale into a romance, with all the famous figures merely serving to highlight the protagonist. This one is different. The protagonist doesn't follow the system's pace, isn't invincible, constantly grows stronger, seeks advice from other strategists, and experiences setbacks, truly bringing the Three Kingdoms to life.

    I read it in one go, and even listened to several chapters along the way, without getting bored at all, which speaks volumes about its quality. The male lead's sly and mischievous tactics are so eye-catching, making the whole book exceptionally fresh and completely breaking away from the usual tropes in similar works. You can tell the author really put a lot of thought into it, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

    These are two of my favorite long-form time-travel novels set in ancient China. They focus on large-scale strategic warfare, with the marriage of beautiful women as a secondary element, and the ultimate goal of defeating feudal lords and foreign tribes to unify the world.
