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.

i hate that people complain how he was not very good at writing people, so was Asimov.

Asimov was western and thus "one of us".

Liu Cixin is Chinese and thus "one of them".

This makes all the difference.
