    The first and third books are excellent. The first book leans towards imaginative ideas, while the third is more rigorous. The author clearly put a lot of effort into writing them. I wrote the second book after reading the first and third books. I think there are many people who admire military generals, and I will take these two great authors as my role models and strive to write a satisfying work.
