   The first book is quite good, although it incorporates fantasy elements later on, but it doesn't affect the overall quality. The second and third books are also pretty good; they're among the best Three Kingdoms novels I've read. I also recommend two published works, *Anti-Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, available on Tomato Novels, and *I Saved Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms*. These last two are the best; nothing else compares.
