I've read through the entirety of actual Three Kingdoms, fully...and I honestly cannot believe how/why they've made Diao Chan so overhyped and overdeveloped story-wise, essentially making her one of the core characters for the franchise (Kessen is especially bad). In the original book she was such a fucking NOTHINGBURGER, a short-lived NPC, it was downright shocking to me when I've found out about it.
