   These two books are the Three Kingdoms novels I've read the longest and are both very good. The plots are excellent; one is about a time traveler becoming Liu Feng, and the other is set in an alternate history. The first one has a very strong emotional element; it's the most emotionally resonant Three Kingdoms novel I've read on Tomato Bookstore, vividly portraying the loyalty and righteousness of Shu Han, which truly moved me. The second one is a bit more of a fast-paced, enjoyable read. The plot is excellent, not drawn out, and doesn't get boring halfway through; it's very satisfying.
