reposting this chart I made last year comparing the progression of chapters of the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms to the IRL years when the events in question took place bc I still think it's amusing
most fictional adaptations of the story end around where "red cliffs" stops and the ones that proceed past that rarely cover anything after Liu Bei's death with any sort of detail b/c it turns out epic fiction loses a little bit of its spark when it's everyone's children and grandchildren fighting the war now
