This is such a joy to read
I love medical manhwas and historical manhwas, so it's right up my alley from the get go, but it actually utilizing people and even events from three kingdoms just makes it seem more meaningful and introduces another layer to a story I was already enjoying
Really interested to see where the story goes on later and how it will blend the three kingdom's events with the author's original ideas down the road seeing we have a lot to go through still (like his relationship with Cao Cao going forward and the events surrounding those two)
I have been enjoying it and it matched on a few points with my expectations and what I was looking for which was great, but the romance in this manhwa is dreadful
It has some of worst writing in terms of romance I have seen
The MC's personality completely changes, he starts blushing, throwing in flirty lines, complimenting the female characters and agreeing to everything they say (they even explicitly tell us that they are manipulating him, so those moments are awful go against the intelligent character we're supposed to believe he has)
He doesn't loose himself in horniness and act like a typical ecchi anime protagonist which makes it not as disturbing to read, but it's very disturbing how much he deviates from his original personality
Not to mention the potential love interests being two which are actively trying to manipulate him and only got close so they can use him, a girl he adresses like family because of being sworn brothers with her father and the least problematic one being a girl who only likes him because he saved her family (which also acts completely different from what she was introduced as and what her character was used in the plot to represent)
I feel really conflicted because the beginning of the story was interesting and I quite like the venerables, but the romance, the main character's personality and the cliche plot of 'a hidden bad guy, that no one knew about but is immensely powerful, threatening the world peace to which the mc needs to step up because he's the chosen one and the only one who can defeat him' that I feel is coming because of the setup with the antagonists is not for me, so after the 120 chapter long journey I might be signing off
Have fun reading if you're enjoying the story though
