    A Three Kingdoms enthusiast for over a decade, I recommend 50 books rated 9 or higher based on their faction. Some are readable, a few are unfinished, but all have at least 500 chapters to read. Some focus on strategy and tactics, emphasizing planning and warfare; others on lighthearted humor and collecting powerful generals and beautiful women; still others on economics, focusing on winemaking, salt production, and mechanical engineering; and still others on romance, highlighting Liu Bei's benevolence and Zhuge Liang's unwavering loyalty. I. Shu Kingdom. The currently updated "Second Cycle of Liu Shan, Reading the Memorial to Liu Bei at the Start" is worth a read. The remaining entries are: "Liu Feng Borrows Xiao Qiao, Never to Return Her," "The Military Genius: Starting with Persuading Liu Bei to Abandon Xuzhou," "I, the Strategist Li Bochuan," "The Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei's Son, the Hegemon of Western Qin," "Starting by Going North for Xu Shu, Boss Cao Loves Me to Death," "The Three Kingdoms: Rebuilding the Mighty Han," "The Three Kingdoms: Ode to Han," "Starting as a Prisoner, the Machiavellian Strategist Returns to Liu," "The Prodigal Son of Shu Han, Starting by Burning Wolonggang," "Transmigrating into Liu Shan, Started by Being Exposed by Liu Bei," "Starting with the Oath of the Peach Garden, Planning the Future for Liu Bei," "A Steed Traveling Through the Three Kingdoms," "The Three Kingdoms: My Northern Expedition," "Soul Transmigrating into Liu Shan, Recreating the Third Han Empire," "Never Won a Rich Battle, I Steal from the Walls," "God-Level Strategist, Starting by Assisting Liu Bei," "Transmigrating into Jiang Wei, Extending the Life of Shu Han," "The Strategist of Shu Han, Seven Incursions and Seven Exits at Changban Slope." II. Wei Kingdom. "My elder brother Dian Wei, starting by going head-to-head with Lü Bu," "Strategist, spare Xiao Qiao," "The invincible me, yet I became a mere civil official," "The Cao Wei strategist determined to slaughter foreign tribes." III. Wu Kingdom. Only one good book, currently on hiatus, is "Leaving Jiangdong." IV. Group Forces. "My father wants to become emperor, I angrily smash the imperial seal," "Reborn as Lü Bu in the chaotic Three Kingdoms," "Yuan Shu's retainer in the Three Kingdoms," "Transmigrating to the Three Kingdoms, starting by recruiting the fierce general Huang Zhong," "I am Pan Feng, courtesy name Wushuang," "Reborn as Lü Bu in the chaotic Three Kingdoms." V. Yellow Turban Rebellion. "Reborn as a Yellow Turban, I killed Liu Bei at the start," "Yellow Turban Rebellion? 100,000 Troops breach Luoyang," "Late Han Dynasty, the Han dragon flag never sets." VI. Royal Family. "I, the True Imperial Uncle, Revive the Han Dynasty Three Times," "Reborn as Liu Xie, Why Did His Majesty Rebel?", "Reborn as Liu Hong, Building the Sacred Han Empire," "Reborn at the End of the Han Dynasty, Starting by Taking Liu Hong as My Disciple," "The Tyrant of the Three Kingdoms, I Extended the Life of the Han Dynasty by Three Hundred Years."

    Highly recommended! The writing style is excellent, very much in the Three Kingdoms era. The characters aren't completely non-conventional; they don't suddenly spout off like "Wow!" The protagonist being Zhuge Liang's brother is a first for me, quite novel. This is a treat for Shu Han fans! Come help the Imperial Uncle restore the Han Dynasty! The author is very knowledgeable about history, so the characters' personalities are currently very consistent with their established personas. Definitely worth reading!
