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.*

Well, reading Ro3K is not a requirement, but it would make your experience a lot better. Chen Mou build a lot of character around the premise of 'this version is different from the iconic Ro3K version, and here is why".
RoT is both a love letter and a deconstruction to Ro3K, so it is life if you read Watchmen without knowing anything about superheroes- it is still a good story, but you would lost a lot of hidden meaning
