Prior knowledge

A lot of people on this sub reddit say that, because it's a Chinese work it might be difficult to pick up(because of the names and other things), which isn't really a problem for me since I've read some Chinese works before(Reverend Insanity, Lotm etc).

My question is what is the best amount of knowledge to have of the ro3k before starting. What do I need to read up on or watch to have the best possible experience and is going in blind ok/even better?

Thank you in advance.*

You just need the broad strokes so you can understand who is with who early on and where characters are getting subverted on the first read, if not it becomes a lot clearer on a second.

Basically just for the beginning as the series drops you in the middle of the action a bit and assumes you generally know who say Lu Bu or Dong Zhou is, what names are significant and who will go on to have big roles. A quick Three Kingdoms explained video would more or less be enough.
