[Afterwords]
When I read Three Kingdoms as a young man, I felt that there were less and less of the amazing talents in the later arcs. But once I grew older, I realized that it’s because everyone at that time was learning from the collective experience, not because the participants were lacking in skills. The most shocking strategy was destined to become a lesson in textbooks, which means more people will understand how it’s used. Every success will lead to a stronger defense by the opponent, increasing the difficulty of the next breakthrough. Maybe it’s like modern day soccer, where the strategies of different teams are slowly resembling each other, and their defenses are all stronger too. God’s favorite will finally be an impossible phenomenon…
