The book is over halfway through, with some summaries and plans.

        Greetings to all the readers, gentlemen.

    The last time a chapter-length report was issued was early November, and now it is early March, with a four-month interval in between.

    This is my first book, and I never imagined when I started writing last June that I would embark on such a long journey. Just now, I checked the total word count, and it has reached 1.42 million characters so far. This is truly a magical journey.

    The subscriptions from readers have been the driving force behind the persistence of "Three Kingdoms: I Am Not Cao Rui." Without your support, this book would not have gone this far.

    Every monthly ticket, recommendation vote, book review, and feedback is valuable.

    Bow deeply! Sincere thanks!

    Firstly, let's talk about the plans for this book.

    In my imagination, this book should end between 2 to 2.5 million characters, which would roughly be equivalent to 2 to 3 volumes of content. Whatever the exact number may be, the journey of this book has already passed the halfway point.

    The content of Volume 1 focuses on establishing the foundation.

    Volume 2 is about consolidating power and continuously advancing the development of national strength and centralization.

    The third and the just-concluded fourth volumes both revolve around war as their main plot. The capturing of Hanzhong to establish Qinzhou, the recapture of Liaodong to set up Yingzhou, and stabilizing the Xianbei threat on the grasslands are all essential plots for furthering unification.

    In the upcoming fifth volume, how will Cao Rui respond to the invasions from Eastern Wu and Shu Han, and what interesting plots related to internal politics, diplomacy, and war can we expect?

    Please wait and see, thank you for your support from readers!

    How to achieve unification in a non-trope way, how to combine internal politics and war better, how to enrich and three-dimensionalally portray the characters beloved by readers, how to write more interesting plots - these are the directions I have been striving for.

    Thank you to all the patrons who have rewarded this book since November last year:
