This is a very unique lecture. First, I'll point out a few key things.
The lecture alternates between the story and the planning framework. I think it’s best for listeners to adjust how they approach it depending on whether they have read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before.
I have never read the story all the way through. At first, I listened in order, but later I got a bit confused, so I ended up binge-listening to just the story parts first. If you aren't familiar with the Three Kingdoms, I recommend listening to the story from beginning to end first, like I did. I liked how the story parts were organized into 1, 2, and 3. However, because the characters and content are so vast, there were times when I had to re-listen or search for information separately.
Also, I haven't finished the 'Rule of Three' section yet, but I think it would be good to download the materials and study that part separately as if you're studying planning. I could see that a lot of effort went into the materials, which was great... but to put it positively, the content is substantial; to put it negatively, the volume is so large that it feels like you really have to study it.
Additionally, it would be even more perfect if a summary of the story was included in the materials or made available as a separate download.
