The Ravages of Time

HUO FENG LIAO YUAN/THE RAVAGES OF TIME/火鳳燎原 IS AN ACCLAIMED TRUE MASTERPIECE !!!!! Watch in on Bilibili official youtube channel. The Caption subs on youtube are much better than the fansubs this time. I have so much feeling for it being an ROTK story (Romance of the Three Kingdoms). Chan Mou took on Luo Guanzhong himself, when he rewrote and recreated this most beloved, long and interesting, part of Chinese history in his manhua. Chan Mou’s writing of Three Kingdoms in The Ravages of Time is absolutely BRILLIANT !!!!!! It is wise to learn more about the Three Kingdoms and people of that time whether with DynastyWarriors, ROTK (TV Series), The Novel, an ROTK background video, or reading about ROTK online. The Three Kingdoms is a period during the late Han dynasty in China of massive internal conflicts and war between warlords. The tide of this era in the Ravages of Time goes into motion as Yuan Shao and the Coalition battles Dong Zhuo and his forces. The Ravages of Time while based on ROTK has also very original content and characters. It opens with Liaoyuan Huo, leader of the Handicapped Warriors, an assassin group. The assassin group working for Sima Yi destroys Xu Lin, the number 1 strategist in Dong Zhuo’s army. Lu Bu swears revenge on the person who killed his friend Xu Lin. Liaoyuan Huo is the raging storm. His fighting strength to take on Lu Bu, they would be classified as monsters. By the character visions, you really understand much more to the characters and there are more than meets the eyes. To Yuan Shao, people are trodding into the mire because Dong Zhuo wrecked the country. Dong Zhuo’s ideology is supremely good. Traitor? What is a traitor? The country is weak because of high-position corrupt officials building up power for themselves. To cleanse them is to save the country. Dong Zhuo is precisely who we need, I like this Dong Zhuo and root for him. Dong Zhuo has historically been a treacherous man that wants to take everything for himself. While following his character in history, he surfaces more than just power and ambition here. Dong Zhuo brings a deep profound stance to defending why the world needs him. Lu Bu I thought I knew the person Lu Bu was. I am well understood Lu Bu was ambitious and a capricious man, greed and power buys him. In the Ravages of Time, it’s not enough to know the enemy cause you don’t know the enemy. Lu Bu is the hype and upcoming. As the audience, we are not ready for this Lu Bu. Lu Bu is ready to kill and leaves nothing undone. Rumors of this legend is face him and be killed. That’s what we know. Rumors have not said about Lu Bu, the amounts of feints in him in a mystery. The strongest warrior with a swing of his halberd and unpredictable intellect makes him so fearsome. He is a champion that can back it. From the facts of history, I can't imagine how it would be to see Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's inevitable downfall in the Ravages of Time. Hua Xiong was a strong warrior loyal to Dong Zhuo. The human nature of Lu Bu, Hua Xiong never gave this thought in the ROTK novels. We know what he really feels in the Ravages of Time. Dong Zhuo, I think you're nurturing a snake in your bosom. (Which is different from ROTK, Dong Zhuo here knows about Lu Bu BTW LOL) Wen Chou, another character was really expanded on and his heroic fight to charge and break the siege for Yuan Shao when surrounded and fight Lu Bu (which never happened in ROTK). The story is so amazing and the donghua adapted the first Dong Zhuo/Lu Bu section immaculately. The 3D art designs and animation are so crisp, perfect epic badass looking, and cinematically beautiful. Whoever complaining, has obviously not seen the prototype promotional video LOL The action fights and politics are definitely a win. The opening has taken me aback by just how epic it is, the song with the choice of clips. The ending is also a fantastic song. I LOVE THE VOICE ACTING especially Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo. The Ravages of Time is in the same lore with ROTK. The Ravages of Time was done for you people who want to experience ROTK from the start again. We need more people seeing this MASTERPIECE !!!!!! THE DONGHUA IS ALSO EPIC TO WATCH !!!!!!!! READ THE MANHUA AND SUPPORT CHAN MOU !!!!!!!!
