Three Kingdoms: An Ordinary Man in the Late Han Dynasty

The good parts aren't too exaggerated; they've developed step by step. The bad part is that the system is poorly written, especially the part about land distribution. There are no capable scholars under his command, and few of them are literate, so it is impossible to distribute land among households. Moreover, the land distribution system is written in a rather naive way.

Very good, it captures the grandeur of war, unlike other historical novels about conquest where gunpowder is the only weapon, as if wars couldn't be fought without it.

A grassroots rebellion isn't a dinner party. It's about killing the vested interests, reshuffling the deck, winning over followers, forming new interest groups, and making people feel there's a future in following you. It's not about simply plundering the wealth of wealthy families; it's about eliminating them completely.

Okay, at least we're not kings and generals anymore. I don't understand why everyone here, who are clearly sheep, are so full of affection for meat-eaters...

I think the author oversimplified things. The land was divided, and then what? Nobody farmed it. Given the production capacity at the time, a single family simply couldn't cultivate dozens of acres. Even in modern society, with machinery, it's still difficult for a single family to cultivate dozens of acres.

The author of this simplistic piece of writing has a smattering of knowledge about human nature, military strategy, and politics. They know how to act, but they don't understand the underlying reasons. Instead of focusing on ancient military formations, they seem to be ignoring the importance of training soldiers in drills to cultivate discipline, win their hearts, and foster a sense of belonging.

Many historical texts simplistically portray guerrilla warfare as a military operation: "When the enemy comes, I run; when the enemy is alone, I attack." Can such a simple approach be considered a great strategy? If it were merely this, which bandit group in history didn't operate this way and succeed?

If you're not going to develop technology, you might as well be the protagonist of an ancient indigenous people's story. I don't believe that a modern person who travels back in time, with land and people, could resist the urge to develop technology. Once you've seen the ocean, other waters seem insignificant.

War is a central theme throughout the book. There are no plot devices or special abilities, and the writing is historically accurate, showing the author's hard work in researching. The plot is decent, but the writing style could be improved.

Especially in cultivating talent, you don't need to use ancient textbooks entirely. Ancient teaching efficiency wasn't necessarily high either. Even a first-grade elementary school curriculum could cover basic arithmetic, 500 commonly used characters (in the form of military songs), astronomical and geographical knowledge, and national history (through storytelling).
