Synopsis:While programming a video game similar to Romance of the Three Kingdoms,a programmer falls asleep and finds himself as Liu Bian,the second last emperor of the Han Dynasty--AFTER HE HAS BEEN DEPOSED!Knowing history,he knows Dong Zhuo will have him and his newly found mother executed,but all is not lost because he has the ultimate cheat--a system that allows him to summon any general or politician across time and space!He will conquer the land using the best generals and strategists documented in history!

Spoiler for Is this a harem?:

Yes,his collection includes famous women from Chinese history and beyond,such as Wu Zetian and Cleopatra.

Spoiler for OPness:

Of course,based on emotions towards him,like hatred or admiration,he can gain points which he can either use to summon individuals across time and space to serve him or actually boost his stats.He's got individuals like Yue Fei and Li Jing by his side.Downside of this is that whenever an individual,either an opponent,a subordinate,an ally or even himself reaches a stat of 100 or above,the system will temporarily 'explode' and send generals or strategists to his opponents.Sometimes some of the accidentally summoned individuals like Li Shimin and his family will turn out to be rival warlords.Even if summoned as your subordinates,if that subordinates' ideals and personality clashed with yours,there's a strong chance that they might turn coat and betray you.

Spoiler for Expansion on how the summoning works:

When an individual is summoned,the people of the world is given a 'memory' of the individual.The individual summoned will also be granted a false memory.Quite often,once summoned,the individual will become a family member of an existing individual with the same surname.For example,when summoned,Sima Zhao,who was historically Sima Yi's son,became Sima Yi's younger brother.Generally the case,an individual could be summoned once,and if they died,you cannot summon them again.Also,once summoned,there's no way the individual will be born again.Like the Sima Yi and Sima Zhao example,the same Sima Zhao will not ever be born again if Sima Yi married his OTL wife.

Spoiler for Personal review:

An excellent webnovel,if you would excuse some of the more absurd parts of it's.It's also heavily Chinese-centric.Most of the generals summoned are Chinese,with exceptions like Hannibal,Oda Nobunaga and Julius Caesar.You will definitely like it if you have played games like Romance of the Three Kingdoms.There's also the problem that many of the summoned generals and strategists are more OP than the folks from the Three Kingdoms era themselves.For example,a couple of Liu Bian's generals,like Xue Rengui,have no problems kicking Lu Bu's arse.There's also quite a few comedic elements.Overall,when the author wrote the characters,he tried to keep faithful to the characters of them either as personalities from other fictional works or from actual history.

Prologue similar like death march, plot entirely different
Is a game of theoretical strategy, summoned individual made to become pawn, seems worth to read
So, to anybody who have read this wn, what mc is he sought after, main plot? adventure/throne/....

His goals are to unify China under his rule and to conquer as much of the world as possible.A bit like Iskander from Fate/Zero.Unlike Death March however,everything takes place in the real world around the fall of the Han Dynasty,with historical characters.Summoned individuals aren't exactly pawns.They've got their own personalities.They will leave and either join other rulers or set up their own rule elsewhere as warlords if they are dissatisfied with you.The whole story is about the MC taking over territory,recruiting troops and recruiting generals either to command said troops.He also had to get ministers to help him govern new territory.He's got a whole list of rivals rulers ranging from Cao Cao to

Spoiler for spoiler character:

Qin Shi Huang,who got summoned accidentally along with his crew and ended up being the power behind the throne in the Kushan Empire

.There's massive battles throughout the novel.The MC also has to deal with bickerings between his numerous wives,many of whom were planning to make their children the next emperor.There's also a lot of duels,politics and strategies involved just like the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms.Finally,the novel also has a lot of historical jokes such as pointing out how Liu Bei,contrary to how he's portrayed as a virtuous ruler,was in reality a hypocrite.The MC enjoys humiliating Liu Bei and showing how Liu Bei's in reality a scumbag.Overall,the story's pretty gory to some extent.There are a lot of deaths.The MC,apart from being able to summon individuals,is overall extremely devious and ruthless

Spoiler for spoiler:

at one point in the story,he pretended to be killed during the battle by feeding the enemy false leads and ended up wiping out an army of 400,000 when the enemy commanders let down their guard and attacked the MC's army,thinking he's dead--only to walk into an ambush

.You will like the story if you also like the Fate/series,ASOIAF,the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms and mangas like Kingdom.
