Lust and excessive indulgence are very different.

Mainly, the difference between Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo.
Although Cao Cao's governance was not perfect, the country was basically stable, maintaining enough strength to firmly control the world.
On the other hand, Dong Zhuo completely failed at development, causing the people near Luoyang and Chang'an to be destitute, displaced, and hated by all.
Dong Zhuo's only goal in coming to power was to indulge in pleasure without regard for tomorrow.
He stayed overnight in the imperial palace, sleeping with all the beauties there, never restraining his subordinates from looting civilians at will, and himself plundering extensively, filling dozens of wagons with gold, silver, and treasures, ready to retire and enjoy life at any time.
Cao Cao also enjoyed life, but he only had 15 wives in total, far fewer than Dong Zhuo, and he did not plunder the people's wealth on a large scale. Instead, he focused on building the local area and strengthening the country's power.
Dong Zhuo claimed he wanted to emulate Yi Yin and Huo Guang.
But Huo Guang was the one who maintained stability, developed people's livelihoods, and fostered recovery, directly leading to the revival of the Han Dynasty.
What could Dong Zhuo possibly do? All he did was indulge in gluttony, lust, pleasure, and brutality.
For most modern readers, even all, the protagonists of time-travel novels.
My evaluation is:
Not even as good as Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was already a leader of his time, but even so, after gaining power, he quickly lost himself, completely unaware of how to operate or manage the country.
If a talented person like Dong Zhuo, after gaining power, cannot restrain himself, practice frugality, be cautious and meticulous, develop and build, strengthen himself, and ultimately unify the world for the benefit of the people,
then an ordinary modern male netizen, after time-traveling, would be even less likely to achieve this.
