think-man said: I love Dynasty Warriors and always have, one of my favorite series of all time, that being said nearly every spin off has been pretty average. I think for me my main draw to dynasty warriors is the story and characters, having read the book I always love to see how the re create the battles everytime. |
Wait you read Romance of the Three Kingdoms??
Isnt that book like HUGE!!!
I may read it one day, not much into reading but when I find something that intrests me I just never put it down.
Also yeah, the characters and story of the Musou series are pretty awesome

It's like 130 or so chapters If I remember correctly, but the chapters are short. The key is finding the best version, there are a few bad ones out there I've been trying to find the one I read for a while now. It's worth a read aswell! it's brutal! makes koei's portrayal of characters look like a joke lol you see the true colors of alot of characters like Liu bei isn't as nice as koei try make you believe.
I also am not much of a reader, I think I've read like 3 books in my life lol but this once is addictive! and if you are a DW fan like myself it's extremely interesting.

And the funny thing is, Romance of the Three Kingdoms makes Liu Bei look a lot nicer then the historical records do!
Of course, I suppose considering everything it's not a surprise that Cao Cao comes out more sympathetic.

Yeah it's funny when you compare the book to history, there are alot of differences :P The book adds so many events that didn't even happen and has people living long past their deaths.
Oh well makes things more interesting I guess.

Yeah, I actually think historical fiction is an underserved niche personally.
You really only see it in graphic novels.... and MAYBE the occasional book if it involves vampires or zombies.
