    Reader note

    These are all pretty good. [1] The protagonist of this book is too awesome, which makes Cao Cao seem less powerful. After all, Cao Cao was very powerful in history. [2] Passionate! Witnessing the final madness of the Han Dynasty! The highest honor of Han civilization! The most tragic era of the Han Dynasty!!! [3] I persevered and finished reading it. I have to say, once you get through the first few chapters, the plot flows quite well afterwards. It's pretty good. (So good!) (😂)
