My Three Kingdoms Can't Possibly Be This Cute

Oh, this is my first time writing a book review, and I'm not sure if this is the right way to write it. There are some spoilers below, but I won't go into too much detail. Let's quickly get to the point: *My Three Kingdoms Can't Be This Cute*. I discovered this book during online classes in 2020 due to the pandemic. To be honest, I immediately thought, "Wow, this title is so catchy!" I picked it up out of curiosity. The synopsis said to finish the second volume no matter what, so I did. The very near-future scenes at the beginning made me question whether this was really the Three Kingdoms period. Then came a nonsensical time-travel adventure. From then on, the "ordinary person" Xiao Qing and...

I browsed through the comments and realized I started reading this book on July 3, 2023, when I had just entered Jiangdong. Six years, ten million. Having come this far, it's hard to say goodbye; perseverance alone is no longer enough to describe it. It's a pity that reality didn't give you the reward you deserved, but that's not your failure. Thank you for giving us a complete world. In any case, she has lived out her entire story, and that is enough. May the road ahead for "Zai Nam" be easier.

The overall plot of this book is quite good, but the portrayal of family relationships is overly sentimental. In some parts of the story, simply telling the male protagonist the truth would have made those scenes less painful, but instead, it tries to force a twist, borrowing from the dregs of Japanese light novels. Honestly, the book is quite good overall, but these jarring moments are really off-putting. And in the latest chapter, the male protagonist not only apologizes to the refugees, but he also hands over the key to the grain warehouse, relying solely on his smooth talk. To be honest, my reaction to this part was just "?". I'll still continue reading, but these recurring, uncomfortable moments are really...

Okay, let me add a manual rating: 10. No wonder it's the experience of an "elderly" person. Hmm, this is the first time I've had this thought about someone older than me. Although it's not the first time I've heard of it, this is the first time I've truly felt it. A more mature and thoughtful methodology is fused into the writing, making the reader feel both resentful and forced to admit it. Whether it's the understanding and reflection on the history and figures of the Three Kingdoms period, the plot derived from it, or the more detailed character arrangement and portrayal, it's a top-notch work among online novels, but it stands out particularly well in this collection, like a crane among chickens. To put it bluntly, I had already given up struggling, determined...

For the rest of my life, you are the wind and snow, the plainness, the poverty, and the glory; you are the warmth and cold of the four seasons, and everything my gaze falls upon... Within a short span, strategies are in my mind, and brilliant plans are swiftly devised. I possess brilliant strategies, which will surely be what Cao Cao needs. I am full of talent, yet Yuan Shao does not heed my advice; Cao Cao has my brilliant plans, and taking Ji Province will be as easy as turning my hand. Within a short span, my gaze falls upon a narrow expanse; a narrow view can only glimpse the bottom. A thousand schemes, all can be accomplished; with confidence in my heart, strategies will be launched in rapid succession. Overflowing with talent, I am fearless; humph! If Yuan Shao trusted me, how could he be like this! A narrow eye can only see the bottom of a well; a glimpse of the bottom is like a bean. Know that once you advance, the strategy will be formed; once the strategy is formed, this battle...

Overall, it's good. The character introductions and arrangements show a lot of care. I've currently reached the "Chang'an Rebellion" arc, and even skipped two chapters related to Zhao Yun, so I'm starting to feel a bit tired of it. I don't object to self-destructing infantry, but isn't the frequency a bit too high? After all this time, the protagonist still doesn't realize his importance to those around him. He's risking everything, claiming it's for the happiness of his loved ones, but he never realizes that he's the one more important to them. And since he's already sacrificed so much, they can only accept it with tears in their eyes. The last character who gave me this feeling was Xiaolongnu from "The Return of the Condor Heroes." Xiaolongnu protected Yang Guo from criticism, and for Yang...

Looking back, it's been almost 10 years since I downloaded Pineapple Bun. The Pineapple Bun of today is nothing like it used to be; there are fewer and fewer good books, and most of them are by older authors or older books. [Sfem:22:765]

Oh my god, it suddenly occurred to me! As long as I don't keep reading, this book won't end. I'm such a genius! I remembered a book with "jinx" in its title, a (big lie) very romantic novel, which I only read about a hundred chapters of because the author abandoned it. As long as I don't see the last chapter that was abandoned, the book will definitely still be updated, and Xiao Qing will definitely still be practicing his way of protection.

It's quite sad. Having read Pineapple Bun for so many years, from its peak on the platform to the current prevalence of yuri (lesbian) stories, many good authors have either left the scene or moved to other platforms. Even this book, one of the few I liked, has come to this. It's very disheartening.

I've forgotten many things, but I still remember this book because it never ended. I stumbled upon this website while searching for novels online, and the first novel recommended was this Three Kingdoms novel. Back then, novel covers were generally of very poor quality (which might also be related to my reading pirated copies), but the covers on this website were all very attractive, especially the ones featuring Zhao Yun and Cao Cao, which inexplicably appealed to me, so I clicked to read it. Before that, I had absolutely no experience with light novels or Japanese manga adaptations. The cheerful writing style and atmosphere were incredibly novel to me. The Three Kingdoms theme and gender-swapped characters were completely unheard of at the time. Back then...
