Advice for new readers, please click to take a look, thank you!
It is recommended that newcomers jump to chapter 200 and start reading. The quality gap between the first hundred chapters and the following chapters is too big. The first hundred or so chapters have a flavor of 15 or 16 years, and the protagonist also has problems with his IQ and mentality. Chapter 200 and later will be very interesting
Let me tell you my thoughts. This book is between poisonous weeds and good weeds, even further away from fairy grass. I read five or six hundred chapters, but I can't see the kind of epic Three Kingdoms I imagined, that kind of grand Three Kingdoms. It was all based on data, otherwise there would be no exaggerated data like 100,000 vs. 10 Million. The author is also not very good at writing emotional lines. The named female characters are all in a situation where friendship is more important than lovers to the protagonist. This is very uncomfortable after five or six hundred chapters. (This is where I think this book is not good) However, there are some parts that are well written. For example, the layout of the mythical world and some strategies are well written. This is what motivates me to read on.
Map of the late Eastern Han Dynasty
The further you get to the back, the more your hips stretch. The main character is still trying to catch fish after so long in the update.
After the protagonist came back from the bloody battlefield, the author started writing short stories, I think so! The previous writing was very good! I've been waiting for the author to update, and here's the result! 😭😭😭😭😭😓😓 When I saw the author said it was a harem, my heart suddenly dropped a lot. Forget it, I saw a girl throwing herself into his arms and left. I will wait for the author's next novel to come out. Goodbye, bye-bye author 😟😟😟
I have read nearly one-fifth of the book so far. To be honest, it is quite complicated. Some of the settings and plots of the previous book were very similar to those of another book, which made me a little impatient. However, the author's settings such as martial arts are very interesting, which made me suspect that the author is suitable for the fantasy area, so I just read it as a fantasy novel with the characteristics of a lord. But about one-fifth of the way through the book, I found that the author seemed to be writing about hegemony, which felt a bit like the online game Global Online. However, there were very few words describing territory construction in the book, and there wasn't even a decent system. I suspected that the author was planning to copy it from some book after the founding of the People's Republic of China. (The description of the war is more like writing a conclusion, with very little process. Maybe the author has a grand world view and therefore omits a lot of unimportant things, but overall it is worth looking forward to.)
Have you forgotten the plot of the three rings?
What is the author doing? Slowly and slowly, I can't finish 10,000 words in a day, bad review! 🐶🐶🐶
Come on, write it down
Author, I hope to continue writing. I have been waiting for your update. I like the book you wrote very much. In addition, the plot should be as fast as possible.
To be honest, the book is still good, but it is really watery. Is the author planning to move the Pacific Ocean into this book?
Surprised, this book is destined to die
It's almost 700 chapters, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion hasn't even started yet. If the author of this book doesn't write ten thousand chapters, I won't believe it. Too late
Short and weak. . Update by chance. Not enough, author pig
To be honest, there are dozens, if not dozens, of books that have written the same process in the first dozen or so chapters! I hope someone can change the starting point, and those who suck on the streets can no longer suck! Can we change the start and build the village differently? Several books with a sci-fi style have changed the start to trial and village building!
Please take a look at the inconsistencies in the current work. (Upgraded version)
1. In Chapter 517, "Purple stars stand in the courtyard, and the destiny of all people gathers!" "In "Pig's Foot", Pig's Foot has already received three dragons' luck, that is, there are 16 dragons' luck, but in some subsequent chapters, such as Chapter 526 "Ordinary and Lucky Fan Shun", Chapter 587 "Bounty List: Kill Lin Mu!" " Etc. In the chapter, the author wrote 13 Dragon Luck, missing three dragons. After the championship, it should be 17 Dragon Luck, but in the next chapter, he wrote 14 Dragon Luck, still missing 3 Dragon Luck; 2. In "Chapter 476: Yuju Mountains, Black Dry Mountains!" "Cui Wu once said that the liquidity of the Great Wilderness Territory is less than one million gold coins, but in "Chapter 422: The First City in the World (Part 2)" he wrote "gold coins: 4835795" and other data, which is inconsistent again; 3. In Chapter 620, "The First Material of [Arrow of the Cave of Soldiers]", Pigfoot Lin Mu told Beitang Xue that he only had one heaven-level village founding order in his hand. Did you remember it wrong, the author? Or did Pig's Feet deliberately deceive the female president? (Zhujiao had two heaven-level village building orders in his hand at that time, one was a reward for conquering Guo Jia, and the other was harvested from the Tomb of the Living Dead. Now there are four.) If he was deceived, are the remaining three heaven-level village building orders the military-type specialized village building orders that the Great Wilderness Territory lacks? If so, with the addition of the Xiaodongtian in Kuaiji County, then the construction conditions for part of the Bingzhidongtian will be complete; 4. Why do the territorial lords ranked 6th and 7th in the points rankings in Chapter 655 "Belated Points Redemption" display Lin Mu pig's feet? 5. In Chapter 572, "The Supreme has fallen, the world is sad!" "The pig's trotters seem to be quite curious about the level of Kuizun's divine blood - acquired spiritual beings, and they deduced the existence of innate spiritual beings with great imagination. But the problem is that pig's trotters have been exposed to innate spiritual beings for a long time. In Chapter 148 "The Third Red Light", after the pig's trotters got the symbol Daojiu, they got the seal of heaven and earth - Daojiu seal is at the level of innate spiritual beings. Therefore, this is not Lin Mu's first contact with innate/acquired spiritual beings, and it should not behave like this. 6. In Chapter 438 "The top businessman in Youzhou, Zhang Shiping!" "The person who came into contact with Zhang Shiping was Tianjiajiu, but in "Chapter 476 Yuju Mountains, Black Dry Mountains! "" Was mistakenly written as Tianjia Qi; 7. In Chapter 443, "Three Hundred Thousand Qingming Marines", it is written that 80,000 Qingyang Tiger Soldiers were transferred to another class, but in Chapter 664, "The World's First Grandmaster Talent Appears", it is written that 6,000 Qingyang Tiger Soldiers have just been cast; 8. Chapter 402 "The Imperial Ancestral Temple" states that the establishment of the Imperial Ancestral Temple requires a city or county level or above, but at present True Dragon City is just a town. Dear author, I hope you can see this post as soon as possible and see my above suggestions. I also hope that you will pay attention to the data connection between the context and the context in the future, which can improve the quality of your works. PS: The author also asks you to pay more attention to the Three Kingdoms Mythical World Book Friends Circle, where there are also a group of book friends who support you (ahem, for example, I am the only level 9 book friend) Everyone support me, thank you very much. 🙏
Newcomers, please note that the writing in the early stages of this book is a little rough and the plot is a bit vicious, but after 200 chapters it gets better, with a full plot and novel settings. If you find it difficult to persevere in the early stage, you can read chapters 1-12, 60-61, 68, 73-83, 132-150, 161-169, which contain a lot of plot foreshadowing and information about fate, destiny, and talents. Recruitment, territory development settings, the rest can be skimmed, and then skip to chapter 200, you will find that this book is a good source of food. If the author had not stopped writing for a long time due to work reasons (it has stabilized), this book would have the hope of catching up with the achievements of the mythical version of the Three Kingdoms.
Hope to do it
I enjoyed reading this book so much that I tipped my meal money, and then the author ran away, so I decided to read it silently without tipping for fear that the author would cheat me out of my meal money and disappear.

I have been waiting for three or four years, and finally the Yellow Turban Rebellion happened. The Mythical World of the Three Kingdoms is definitely the longest novel in the Three Kingdoms game novels that foreshadows the Yellow Turban Rebellion. 😭
As for the last post, other posts about book reviews say this chapter has been deleted. I took it for granted. I thought it was going to be normal and Mie Dong was going to start exerting his strength, but you saw the result. There is no shortage of readers for me either
I remember when I first read this book, the plot of the Yellow Turbans had just begun. To be honest, some parts of the first two hundred chapters were a bit too boring for me personally, but I love the Yun Dynasty + historical character novels, Evil Shadow, Forged Holy Court, and the otherworldly novels, such as the strongest mythical emperor, where Chinese characters are summoned from another world. The characters of the Three Kingdoms are very famous, so I read this book slowly, intermittently, and the author updated it intermittently. There were a few times when the author updated it, like squeezing out toothpaste, intermittently. Later, it slowly stabilized again. In my opinion, this book is getting better and better. The protagonist, as a reborn person, has always been ahead of other players. He has even gradually accumulated more and more knowledge, catching up with or even surpassing the local princes. He has also had friendly relations with beings such as the Spirit of Mount Tai and Bai Ze. He has also entered the outer realm. He has also obtained the top fortune treasures such as the resurrection tower of the Beidou series and the Nine Cauldron + the Emperor's God Conferment Technique. He also has three great conspirators and three great generals, and now Zhao Yun is added. There are these characters, not to mention people like Zhou Taiyu Jin Lejin, oh, there are also Zhang Zhongjing, Pu Yuan and others, and finally there are the original true dragons Longying, Kunpeng, Qinglong, not to mention other top treasures, which are written but not written. It is said that others have high configuration, Liu Bei and Cao Cao. Just looking at it now, do the three families of Sun, Liu, and Cao combined have as high a configuration as the protagonist? No. But I don't know when the author started to get frustrated and began to suppress it in various ways. Every time the protagonist makes loud noises but little rain. Starting from the sworn friendship in Taoyuan, it became more and more obvious later on that other players were behind the protagonist's back, as well as in reality, until now, Mie Dong. With this lineup of protagonists, I don't understand why anyone can plot against the protagonist. Guo Jia is the number one strategist here, and Xun You, the dramatist, is also there. Can you still make wedding clothes for others? Finally, the Bai family, one of the hundreds of schools of thought, ran out. As a result, he randomly supported a player and became the biggest winner in destroying Dong, and even killed Liu Bei once. Awesome. I'm really exhausted. Goodbye, you don't lack me as a reader either.
Although I know the author will definitely not read it, I still want to post it as a memory.
First of all, I wish the novel a bright future, and then let me talk about my feelings after following it for more than three years. Seeing that it was said that we should do it quickly and get the Yongzhou Ding and the Resurrection Tower, I became interested and subscribed all the way. As a result, Taishan Spirit once again said that there were too many causes and effects and could not be taken, so he gave up. This is tantamount to feeding me a lump💩. After seeing the table of contents "Establishing the Great Wilderness Dynasty", I tried to read the last two chapters. In the end, it still takes three months. You can write more than 100 chapters in three months. This book is the only book I have followed from three years ago, and it is also the only book I have read now. I watched the episode online from the very beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, but I had no money at that time and could only watch pirated copies. Until I had the money and confidence to support the genuine version, I came to Qidian to watch it. I have subscribed to about 1,000 chapters now. When the heroes in front of Hulao Pass were fighting against Dong in more than 2,300 chapters, I remember that there were many people in the comment area saying that they had abandoned the book. I felt uncomfortable reading it and posted it. I did not see that old man posting any more comments later, but I still follow it until now. I read a lot of pirated novels when I was a child, but yours is the only one that I have been updating since I grew up. I want to buy a one-time refill ticket for what I have loved since I was a child. But it was so uncomfortable to watch, and I didn't feel any joy when watching it, as if I was suffering. Every seemingly reasonable suppression makes me feel the helplessness of life. I want to see a story about a small person competing for hegemony, but I don't want to see the reality that no matter when and on which platform a small person competes for hegemony, there are always people suppressing him. It's like there is an invisible big hand in the sky suppressing him, and he will never be able to take the lead. He is the protagonist of the novel who goes through hardships and finally sees the rainbow, but what about us? Who hasn't had enough of this reality of life? Who would like such a day? The last time I believed you was when you said the data was bleak, and then said you wanted to use the Yongzhou Cauldron to resurrect the tower. I thought you were really going to use your strength to make it feel better, but you still said that there were too many causes and effects in one sentence, so let others take it, and then snatch it back after repairing it. Then I jumped and only subscribed to the last three chapters of "Establishing the Great Wilderness Dynasty", and everything ended in a hurry. In my opinion, the final reward of the serial killing of Dong Ji is Diao Chan and Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun had planned it long ago, so it can't be included in the harvest of this operation at all. Don't tell me other things like the Star Tianyuan Fruit. It's all bullshit. He himself has probably forgotten many of his previous plans. Also TM background. After accumulating so much, I feel that it is not as good as any other aristocratic family that just pops up. I don't want to write any more, so I say goodbye one last time and remove the bookshelf.

Too many brain fights between the left and right brains
1. At first, he vowed that he would get the Ding Pagoda, but then he began to fight with each other, and after getting the highest authority, he was picked by the Bai family. Zixu and the others fought alone. It is normal for you to write it as a mouse. Why, Sima Yi's father-in-law's family is so awesome, how can it still be a mouse? According to this situation, you can count with two hands whether hundreds of people can do this. 2. The previous battles were thunderous and rainy, but now Dong Zhuo is dead and still suppressed. The Yongzhou Ding knows that it is related to resurrection and lacks a place for resurrection. Hey, I don't want it just for fun. I won't touch it if it's a big cause and effect. Then why do you go to the outside world to grab pulses and branches of creation? If the outside world can't kill you, you can go to China, right? Shenzhou is so strong, why is the tripod broken. 3. The Yuan family and Cao Cao randomly took out a three-spirited plan from the bottom of the box that can ban you. What about the things you packed in the bottom of the box? What about the things you opened so many boxes? From the beginning to now, so many resources plundered by the Yellow Turbans, Little Days, M Country, and outside the territory have been used up in one sentence. What, eat it? Or are you saying that the heritage of a country with several important cities is not as good as yours in China? 4. From the beginning to the present, the Yellow Turban and Fengtianzi Mucai have written so much about how many talents they have recruited. Where are you? There are still these few fights going on, and the generals recruited are all defensive, right? The top ones can't intervene, but what about the secondary ones? The fight was either a draw or someone could just grab something and run away, but you are hiding your offspring? 5. The layout is so big, China, the initial world, the outside world, and the world view is indeed huge, but you have written more than 7 million words. Now, let alone occupying other countries, at least half of China should be conquered. In the end, the country has not yet been established. I don't think you can finish a China in 7 million words if you write like this. Don't talk about the rest. Do you want to be like the fishman? 6. I don't understand it at all. Most people don't read novels for the purpose of being abused. It's more fun if you write like this. No matter what, there are people you can't beat or grab, so why are you still grabbing them? Have you changed your destiny? I can't even complain when I read a novel? With such a huge worldview, you still have to put this pressure on, and the Shenzhou dungeon is still unavailable. If you write like this, you can come back for at least another ten years. 7. Let me make a bet: The conditions for the protagonist Ding to recognize the master are so harsh. If you don't have another left-brain fight in the end and let Zhu Xuan or the Bai family succeed in recognizing the master, or give it to other princes, then you will really laugh in the end.
Sure enough, the Yongzhou Ding was still snatched away. I will not subscribe to this book again.
The funniest thing is that in the first few chapters, the protagonist was full of confidence and said that he would go all out to grab the Yongzhou Cauldron, but he was slapped in the face within a few chapters. Any scholar can pick the peaches from the protagonist. The credit for killing Dong Zhuo was shared, and the Yongzhou Ding was also taken away. The protagonist still had the highest authority on the battlefield in the Yongzhou Ding, but a group of mice ended up picking the peaches. This kind of plot appears not once or twice, and I don't even want to lose face just to suppress the protagonist. There are still 99 schools of thought. From now on, every time one comes out, just slap the protagonist in the face.
After reading the reviews, luckily I didn't order them all, so I hurried away. When I saw the Japanese side, I was a little disgusted. There was a lot of words written about uncle. Is this going to change the protagonist? I also had all kinds of premonitions, which made me nervous. Come here and read the comments. Well, later on I was trying to beg for money, but I ended up being picked off peaches. I'd better not play with my intelligence. It's really not enough to kill me.
Slipping away
You crystal powders are really disgusting. You deliberately disgust people and you get paid for it.
I slipped away and read the comments from time to time.
