Has /lit/ read this? If so, did you like it? It's very long and dry, but the pacing is pretty good, at times frenetic even.

Everything after the first generation dies is filler

I love it.
But most people should just read Yokoyama Mitsuteru‘s Sangokushi. You get 99% of the point.

It would be better if the authors didn’t claim that the average battle was a million vs a million dudes. totally unbelievable. good characters tho.

I read it because of the DO NOT PURSUE LU BU memes and was very disappointed by what a jobber he was.

Remember that it was ridden as shameless Han Shu propaganda.

Ravages got it right when they explained that historians tried their utter most to make Lu Bu as pathetic and lame as possible and despite all this he is still known as the quintessential chinese uber chad

Nobody mentions the time Liu Bei cannibalizes that guy's wife lmoa.

I feel like the book was meant for a grandpa like figure to read from every night for 10 year old boys to listen to.

The Moss translation is the best one right?
