bump_fn posted:is water margin actually interesting all i know bout the three kingdoms is from playing dynasty warriors but the suikoden games arent quite as historical i have only read water margin in swedish while i read three kingdoms in english but i found water margin a lot better. it is a lot of different folk storeys put together in one narrative, the book are quite violent and remind you a lot of the icelandic sagas, poster ramc basicly spoiled some parts but in a folks context most of the scenarios are funny. it is really good

Zhuge Liang invented the repeating crossbow and the meat bun as well. Is there something that man can't do? (Answer: Keep an imbecile heir from ruining a country).
