Reborn in the Three Kingdoms: Starting with Raising Chickens

Four words to describe the warlords at the end of the Han Dynasty Cao Cao: He was suspicious by nature. Sun Quan: Short-sighted. Liu Bei: He changed masters several times. Yuan Shao: Arrogant and conceited. Ma Chao: A master of betrayal. Dong Zhuo: Cruel and inhumane. Zhang Xiu: Has no opinions of his own. Yuan Shu: Betrayed and abandoned by all. Liu Biao: Content with a little wealth. Liu Zhang: He is gullible and easily trusts others. Lü Bu: In conclusion.

The beginning was truly horrific. The Han Dynasty setting depicted a family where the sister-in-law was domineering, oppressing her own brothers in various ways. Even after the father's death, the mother was also oppressed. It felt incredibly cruel. No matter how fierce she was, the Han Dynasty governed by filial piety; once the father was gone, the mother basically had the final say. For an ordinary family to survive, unity was essential, which is why the beginning felt so harsh.

I've never seen such a toxic book. The protagonist could either join Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei or go it alone. Instead, he wavers back and forth. After over 100 chapters of effort, he offends Liu Bei, watches others swear brotherhood in the Peach Garden, and is forced to contribute money and men to fight alongside Zhang Fei, who is also his retainer.

The author wrote with great care and attention to detail. However, one point wasn't handled well. He has always tried to integrate into the system built by aristocratic families. You need to understand that bloodlines are something that cannot be eliminated even after a thousand or ten thousand years.

This is highly toxic; please do not read it. The protagonist fawns over Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, even becoming Zhang Fei's servant and using all the tools to recruit Guan Yu, only to find the original plot inexplicably continues. He couldn't even enter the banquet and was just barking incompetently outside. I truly admire the author for coming up with this kind of plot. I don't know about the other toxic parts that I skipped through.

Let me share some thoughts! I initially thought this book wasn't very good because it only had around 800 monthly votes, but after reading the beginning, I found it to be quite well-written and the writing style was very detailed. So why aren't the results good? And then comes the important part... It should be over 100 chapters, the Oath of the Peach Garden. I really admire the author.

I have something to say, and I have to get it off my chest. I'm a legitimate subscriber, and the move from the Northeast to the Southwest is a complete disaster. Why didn't the Northeast go to the Southwest? Just because that's where the future Shu Kingdom is? You have some kind of cheat code; controlling the Northeast is like taking over the biggest weakness of the cold weapon era—warhorses.

Is the later part really that good? I was about to give up after reading the first chapter. The forced introduction of a villainous sister-in-law is awkward; it's ridiculous that a daughter-in-law could control her birth mother-in-law in the Han Dynasty, especially since filial impiety was a criminal offense.

The very first chapter is toxic; the opening scene involves paying 10 taels of silver as compensation? The Tang Dynasty still used copper coins; where would Zhang Fei's family get 10 taels of silver to compensate you? As a historical novel, basic common sense is essential. Anyone who has read basic historical texts wouldn't write it like this.

The later parts clearly demonstrate a lack of common sense. Given the protagonist's current wealth, what does Liu Bei have? What does Guan Yu have? Liu Bei's true identity was only revealed later, and Guan Yu was a murderer. Guan Yu was a time traveler who knew history and acted like a god; this guy is a time traveler impersonating a historical figure from a later period, providing himself with sustenance and acting like a subservient grandson.
