I Knew the Three Kingdoms by Heart, Yet Somehow Became Liu Bei

Seeing Cao Cao massacre Xuzhou made me laugh. I've seen protagonists being overpowered, but it's rare to see one being overpowered in intelligence. When Dong Zhuo entered the capital, the protagonist immediately killed Dong Zhuo, claiming it was to protect the people of Luoyang from harm, but then he ended up with a father figure above him and couldn't do anything.

Let's start with the strengths. It's clear the author considered the historical context, though I felt it was a bit superficial. But it's a novel, so we don't need to be too nitpicky; the point is what matters. The dialogue also aligns well with our understanding of the Three Kingdoms story, which is excellent.

I've only read a few chapters, but I already feel uneasy and have a bad feeling. Logically speaking, as a Shu Han supporter, I should encourage any Shu Han novel that is above average. However, I noticed that the author mentioned Han Xin several times, and his tone revealed extreme blind worship.

I've tried my best to read it without thinking, but your simplistic portrayal of Cao Cao is insulting to my intelligence. Consider the twenty yuan lost. Goodbye.

Zhuge Liang was far more capable than depicted in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The novel's stories of borrowing arrows with straw boats and burning the Red Cliffs are essentially just a few words; real warfare requires knowledge of geography, troop training, and command—countless subtleties.

It's still a bit superficial; it seems the author mainly relies on historical fiction. These days, historical fiction isn't as popular, and historical writing is gradually becoming more complex, increasingly testing the writer's skill level.

I don't understand why the protagonist could run a small workshop, do some business, and hoard some land without lacking money and food? The wealth and food accumulated by powerful families over generations would be incredible. I think the late Eastern Han Dynasty was characterized by low productivity, low resilience among farmers, and natural and man-made disasters, leading to widespread poverty.

Liu Bei changed patrons several times, yet no one ever questioned his character. Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, Tao Qian, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao—everyone could see that Liu Bei possessed great ambition and was no ordinary man, yet they never harmed him. Instead, they bestowed troops or territory upon him. Even during his turbulent years, many were willing to follow him.

I've finished reading it, and I'd say it's quite good. It utilizes historical knowledge to lay out the strategic plan for the Yellow Turban Rebellion in advance, featuring generals and strategists, a large army, and stable bases and financial resources. If I had to point out a flaw, it would be the Oath of the Peach Garden.

The protagonist is inferior to Liu Bei, yet you've been reborn as Liu Bei, which is a step down. You might as well have just played Liu Bei directly in the Three Kingdoms period.
