The Three Kingdoms Gatekeeper

The protagonist's character is seriously flawed. He doesn't understand that in the Han Dynasty, simply not starving was a good life, mainly due to low productivity and agricultural technology. Instead of improving these conditions, he's overly sanctimonious, even improving the lives of refugees by buying them clothes and better rice. Those people might not die now, but they'll die eventually.

There's a lot of unnecessary dialogue and little actual plot development, but the writing is decent, and the protagonist is somewhat idealistic.

The protagonist's abilities are too overpowered. As a county magistrate, he governs a county with tens of thousands of people, and his soul banner can control five hundred people. You still need to work hard and use your brain? One Soul Banner commander leads ten soldiers, five thousand men, and can sweep through an entire county, plowing every inch of it, regardless of whether you are a landlord…

Just this much: the Yellow Turban Rebellion hadn't even started yet, and the protagonist dared to tell Liu Yan that the world was about to descend into chaos, that Yizhou possessed the aura of an emperor, and that he wanted to go and pave the way. And Liu Yan even tacitly approved and helped orchestrate it. Truly impressive! As a member of the Han imperial family, how dare he speak so arrogantly about the Han Empire before the Yellow Turban Rebellion even broke out?

The similar style is still very pleasing to the eye.

They want to recruit tens of thousands of refugees right from the start and then offer them high-class treatment—what a load of crap!

A little-known fact: The truth about disaster relief in ancient times: 1. Real disaster relief - organizing disaster victims to relocate and clear wasteland, but in the process, only one in ten survived; 2. Fake disaster relief - imprisoning disaster victims, giving them a bowl of gruel every day, slowly starving them to death, and in the end, only one in ten survived.

With such powerful cheat codes, how could he still develop to this state? Fighting historical figures on equal terms... Isn't that just plain useless? He's even worse than historical figures.

The data in this book is too inaccurate. In ancient times, with the level of productivity, a single prefecture could produce tens of millions of shi (a unit of dry measure) of grain.

Not pledging allegiance to Liu Bei is unpatriotic.
