I always figured the dialogue was a lost in translation/ cultural disconnect thing. What I had a problem with was the way Liu writes women. The way Zhuang Yen comes into the story into the second book made me want to puke.

It was so tough getting through the first half of The Dark Forest because of the women. But damn the second half is incredible

I felt the same way, but in general and not only because of the women.

No Idea how he spent so much time writing about every 'irrelevant' detail and then rushing (what felt like) the most interesting part
