Introducing: rotk.net - Interactive Book Website
I've been working on a little side project for awhile to create a rich interactive version of "The Romance of Three Kingdoms' book online, and I think I'm ready to share the first version with the public. You can access it here: https://rotk.net
The book is sourced from the fifth version on https://threekingdoms.com/ (Written by Luo Guanzhong, Translated by C. H. Brewitt-Taylor, Edited by Khang Nguyen). The book is in public domain, so I hope there are no issues hosting this specific version, but if anyone has any information otherwise, please reach out to me.
The character information is mostly sourced from Wikipedia.
The images are mostly sourced from images found on the koei fandom site.
The features of this version:
- Interactive character names for each chapter. Click to see a portrait and get other information on this character.
- Characters list. Search, filter, sort on characters.
- Factions list. Search, filter, sort on factions.
Future features:
- better mobile/responsive viewing
- Interactive Map
- Social layer perhaps for adding annotations like in threekingdoms.com
There is still a lot of manual clean-up that needs to be done on the data itself. This is where, I would LOVE your help! My knowledge of the book and characters is not as strong as others on here, in fact, a main reason I built this site is to help me with that. If anyone is interested in gaining admin access to the site, then please DM me on here or in the discord sever I created (pasted below). I have built tools that allows us to:
- change faction colours
- change role colours
- fix the wrong character being linked to a chapter
- editing which images to display/hide to the front-end, as well as default image
- handle duplicates
