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’ve read a few of his books besides the trilogy and all his characters are “terrible”.

They seem to me more the personification of a type of personality rather than real characters, while the real protagonists are the groups / factions.
