    Both are fictional histories. Logic is online, no cheats, no time travel, no system, no intelligence, no love. The first book is a new book, with hearty fighting scenes, punches to the flesh, and swords to the flesh. The second book, starting from the third volume, contains a lot of descriptions of large army battles, which is very shocking. The two books have made a relatively deep connection with all aspects of the power, politics, economy, resources, and systems behind the war. They are not mindless discussions.
