    The story follows a Three Kingdoms period, with five key attributes: martial prowess, intelligence, leadership, politics, and charisma. It's a story about starting from the borderlands, with decent logic and few major flaws, falling into the "power fantasy" genre. The protagonist is a native of the area, with a commendable growth trajectory and strong military capabilities, making it a worthwhile read.
