The Three Kingdoms: Ruling Ten Thousand Miles of Territory

At this rate, why bother with Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong? The protagonist is smarter than them all! Zhuge Liang always suffers losses against the protagonist, and even when he occasionally causes minor trouble, it's perfectly resolved and he turns the tables. After finally recruiting Pang Tong, Xu Shu, all he does is say, "The protagonist is incredibly talented," "How come we didn't think of that?" "My lord is right," with a "shocked expression." I'm speechless.

The early chapters were well-written, and I subscribed to the entire series before reaching 100 chapters. But after reaching over 400 chapters, I couldn't continue reading. The author put a lot of effort into writing the book, but there are some issues. First, regarding the control of rhythm and atmosphere. Often, the atmosphere is poorly created, and the plot progression is weak.

The description of the trebuchet's effectiveness is far too exaggerated. Forty-five giant stones were enough to cause the enemy to lose over ten thousand men, averaging more than 220 deaths per stone—something even modern heavy artillery couldn't achieve!

The protagonist didn't even understand his role from the start. Would Liu Bei really let you inherit his position? Obviously not. So you either need to guard a region, or you need to worry about being killed by a powerful general and thus gather strength to rebel. What kind of wishful thinking is that? What was wrong with what Zhuge Liang said upon their first meeting?

I once read a book about Liu Feng, and I loved it so much that I read it several times. It featured his confrontations with Liu Bei. I personally don't have a good impression of Liu Bei; I generally don't even read any Three Kingdoms novels that feature him as the protagonist.

The numbers are good, but it feels like some characters were made evil in order to highlight the main character!

Liu Feng declared himself emperor, so why didn't Zhuge Liang react?

I couldn't continue reading after chapter 32. He offended Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang at their first meeting, and yet he still managed to rise to power? I'm speechless. How can someone who was still on the run and hadn't even stabilized their position think about inheriting the throne?

Isn't this Cao Pi from the Three Kingdoms?

Zhuge Liang, along with the powerful clans of Jingzhou behind him, were actually looking for an easily controlled successor. He was simply a typical powerful minister, whose image has been romanticized and glorified by later generations.
