it's not often one sees Ravages fan art that involves fantasy renditions of established characters

Pang Tong smiled at these sentiments, saying, "My lord's words are quite in accord with abstract rectitude, but such ideas scarcely suit the days of rebellion."

Liu Bei’s Army

A gathering of itinerant warriors, scholars and oddballs who flock to the mysterious Han loyalist roaming across the land, gathering support against Cao Cao. Liu Bei is quite the enigma and despite officially holding no land, rank or title, his charisma is quite resounding and he emerges wherever Cao Cao’s influence wavers with legions at his back.

I know Pang Tong let his work pile up for months only to do it all in a day to make a point, but still, big ADHD mood

He went nearer and peeping in, saw a man reading by the light of a lamp near which hung a sword. And the book was Sun Zi’s classic “The Art of War.” “This is no common person,” thought Jiang Gan, and so he knocked at the door.

what an extraordinary guy he must be, he's reading a popular book! how could other people compare. Truly a sign of exceptional talent

i really have to believe that until the very end liu bei was the only person who couldn’t see that his horse was cursed. he must have been absolutely convinced it was just a normal horse, i can’t imagine he would ever let anyone else ride it otherwise. pang tong dies because he rode it and guan yu goes damn, horse curse got him huh and liu bei goes Shut Up It Was Something Different

Ravages, like its source lore, has an extensive ensemble cast of characters, with multiple and rotating main figures depending on the arc or incident

that being said, thanks to recent developments, I was able to identify five critical nodes (I wouldn't say all of them qualify as protagonists, just to be clear) that happen to have dense connections/semblances among one another, not to mention they also contribute significantly in some major narrative threads and subplots throughout the series

although Ravages still presents an account of the impending collapse of Han and the slow rise of three rival kingdoms (plus the fourth faction that eventually wins out) not to mention the colorful life and death stories of many other heroes and villains and factions it does so from a sideways and somewhat subversive glance through the vicissitudes and vendettas of Sima Yi (a key player in said fourth faction, and thus cast in the role of political survivor par excellence) and his assassin agent Liaoyuan Huo, who would go on to embrace the identity of Zhao Yun (a famous general in one of the three kingdoms and poster child of the Dynasty Warriors series of games)

now it so happens that Sima Yi is typically portrayed in 3K pop culture as the main counterpart to Zhuge Liang (the most renowned and glorified adviser of the period, also belonging to the faction that Liaoyuan Huo ends up joining), and Ravages has opted to retain this time-honored link for the long term (albeit with some fun twists), in addition to lifting up Pang Tong (another adviser symbolically associated with Zhuge Liang, but who exits the scene relatively early) to serve as an early foil of sorts to Sima Yi (as well as an impetus to Sima Yi's character development, a plot point original to the series)

for his part Liaoyuan Huo has his own distinct trajectories and rivalries (since he's more of a fighter and less of a planner even if he too can cook up some decent tactics and tricks as well) but given that he's closely linked to Sima Yi in this series (not so in the source lore) his connections to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong (who technically become Liaoyuan Huo's teammates at some point in the story) get enhanced as well

focusing on these four figures appears to yield a long-term horizon which Chen Mou might not even complete given the rate of publication, the overall pace of the series, and his commitment to complicate the lore culminating in Sima Yi's epic collision/collusion with Zhuge Liang (with Liaoyuan Huo as a conduit and enforcer with ties to both masterminds) before Sima Yi reaps the fruits of survival and reckons with the final fallout (via the other long-term setup of the death dream in chapter 1, though I note that the dream doesn't need to be literally realized), and while we can expect many other roadblocks and detours along the way (again, Ravages has way more players than just 4) the broad strokes for the end game appear set in stone, unless...

ENTER IMMORTAL ZHAO SHENG AKA 'TRUE' ZHAO YUN AKA 'FAKE' ZHAO ANG THE EIGHTH GENIUS, the mystery box whose gradual disclosures tease out some extra dynamic element to how things might turn out in the long run, for not only does he happen to be a deviant top-notcher from the same school as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong (and operating in ways eerily similar to the both of them) he has also earned the enmity of Liaoyuan Huo (and what's more, the latest chapter suggests he might even compete with Sima Yi for the ultimate survivor championship and thereby intrude into the dream, one way or another)

with the 8th entering the scene by forging antagonistic ties with 4 key people who already have robust links to one another (as well as a few others), he gets to maintain some sort of foothold or trace in multiple storylines (and he gets to fill in for Pang Tong's imminent premature departure, seamlessly preserving the quartet arrangement and spicing up Sima Yi's destined dates)

until then, my main advice for readers would be to survive and to learn to enjoy the finer aspects that Ravages has to offer
