Total War: The Rise of a Warlord

Sigh, I've been outsmarted by women again. They say they're sparing lives out of conscience, but what a coincidence! All the women spared on Qidian are beautiful. I could guess the ending from the beginning. Pretty clever, right?

The decision not to build an army must have deterred many readers. Nobody understood why someone who could easily win would resort to scheming and intrigue, going through all that trouble only to be forced to retreat by a few powerful clans. The earlier plot was somewhat plausible, given the lack of prestige; it was understandable to tolerate it. But later on, it became incomprehensible.

They should introduce some new unit types, or at least tell us which one the protagonist wants.

The protagonist ran off with the gold coins; his early weaknesses are normal. But when he arrived at that small port city, it only had three thousand inhabitants. The protagonist summoned soldiers, constantly attacking those hidden in the shadows until they were full, then going in for a final, exhausting attack. After killing everyone, he left a mark.

A one-star agent gladiator earns 500 gold, so 500,000 would be 1,000. Couldn't a thousand fearless elites easily wipe out the ten great families? Even if they couldn't wipe out ten, wouldn't wiping out one be a problem? After destroying a family, you can use the war to fuel your war effort, plunder gold, and recruit more.

Many of the author's self-proclaimed interesting personality traits are just idiotic quirks.

I quite like the protagonist's current personality; it suits my taste. However, I suggest the author strengthen the system's presence. After all, those attracted by the title are people who enjoy playing Total War, and what they want to see is nothing more than Total War units clashing with native armies. 🙂

Ahhhhh, this type of book is finally not... Master, Master, the young master is awake! (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻

Please change the book title. This book has absolutely nothing to do with Total War. Perhaps changing it to something else would improve its performance.

I didn't see any total war there... Gladiators, assassins, and other agents died like weeds being harvested... They recruited Spanish galleons and witnessed the power of muskets, yet they were still being hunted down and still refused to recruit a single squad of soldiers... I don't understand the logic behind this.
