My opinion:

  • Interesting concept of a Dark Forest & cosmic sociology axioms.
  • Unpleasant characters: Ye Wenjie (narcissistic and psychopathic), Cheng Xin (a kind billionaire lol).
  • Disappointing ending—the last few chapters feel weak.

Bonus: Absolutely fascinating interpretation of the first book by @yogthos@lemmy.ml.

    Dear God, it is egregious, and somehow gets worse as the series goes on. It’s hard to talk about a lot of it without getting into serious spoilers, but Jesus Christ the stuff in book three especially is insanely bad. And I didn’t even think it could get worse after the shit with Luo Ji in book two.
