Features: The most terrifying imagination in history, recreating the Three Kingdoms world 1800 years ago. A Chinese imaginative novel, extraordinary in its brilliance. Covered by numerous media and praised by readers. The heroes of 1800 years ago achieved a scholar—Luo Guanzhong—in the Ming Dynasty and an imaginationist—Na Duo—in the modern era. The art form of shadow puppetry, which is both popular and highly individualistic, perfectly captures the novel's humorous, witty, and unique qualities, reflecting the humor and wisdom of modern people. Despite discarding tradition so completely, the novel still inherits a certain spirit of the Three Kingdoms era—the independent spirit of heroes, the patience and solitude before gaining fame, and the desire to compete for the world. Perhaps this is the essence of the novel.
Warning: If you are a student, do not read this book during class, or you will be expelled from school for laughing uncontrollably! If you are an employee, do not read this book during work hours, or you will be fired for laughing uncontrollably!
Na Duo chose the Three Kingdoms era, an age of war, changing fortunes, and rising heroes in China. He completely abandoned all official and unofficial historical records, broke the conventions of predecessors, and pushed the boundaries of satire to the extreme. In today's era of rampant satire, taking satire to its extreme is also the author's success. The pervasive imagination and humor in the novel may even allow the most serious readers to appreciate the art of comedy, leading to numerous online reviews.
Despite discarding tradition so thoroughly, the novel still inherits a certain spirit of the Three Kingdoms era—the independent spirit of heroes, the patience and solitude before gaining fame, and the desire to compete for the world. Perhaps this is the essence of the novel.
The history of the Three Kingdoms cannot be changed, but due to the extraordinary character settings, even those very familiar with the Three Kingdoms era find it difficult to imagine the plot of the novel, which is either bizarre or eerie, more absurd to the point of being laughable. The clear boundary between novels and urban fast-food reading is broken by "Na Duo's Three Kingdoms Chronicle." The novel, with a picture almost every two pages, indeed brings great convenience to reading. It allows the depth of the text to be "neutralized" through light-hearted illustrations, making it more suitable for modern reading habits and lifestyles. This is a highly readable novel that forces you to keep a straight face while reading.
