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 @[email protected].

    There are some flaws, but the 1st and 2nd books are really gripping. The Netflix series is a free-form adaptation that does not really lends justice to the novels.

      I love the 2nd book. The whole book including ending is enjoyable . For me it was binge-reading
