>better than Asimov Foundation Series
that is not saying much

I liked it but the weeb katana robot was terrible, what the fuck was he thinking.

You can make a "scar" in spacetime with FTL, okay.
But why does object that exit in space continue to be in that marked spacetime, things in the universe move around a lot, and vert fast relative to certain points. Like orbits within orbits, on solar systems, galactic scales or even bigger.
I like to think if spacetime exist like that, you could treat it like some absolute set of coordinates.
Why does the scarred area of space keep following an object that exist independently of it.

There was some weird discontinuity between the books that irked me:
YOU ARE BUGS, end of communication
No, wait we are friends now, let's get on some cultural exchange, (at this point they had learned deception. Even if it was partly true)
But then they appear very calm and logical later at some points
Why would we destroy the Earth, (by revealing it's location), just because you willingly DESTROYED OUR WORLD, we don't care, it's cool. Which turns out wasn't a ruse or anything, they actually didn't carry much of a grudge, at least not personally towards any of the human characters.
Despite appearing very spiteful earlier, with the katana-bisection and let a world of Australian eat each other part.

I get that the Trisolarians had factions within themselves, but I felt like it lacked some planning between each book, like the author went in an entirely different direction than what he planned earlier. Which is sticking out to be with the Trisolatian's attitude, because they are an element that exist throughout the entire series.

what is better, pic related or ball lightning?

the 3 body

Yeah, by a pretty large too margin, I'dd say.

This startet out pretty promising but it went to mediocre after the first half. The repeated name-dropping in the three body game was annoying and he all of sudden introduced this hardcore environmentalist with a rich daddy just so that the secret society had some means of funding - what?

Also what the fuck was this bullshit with the filament, that was some cartoon tier plan and it somehow did work. And why the fuck couldn't the trisolarians develop some better ftl-travel for their fleet if they were able to somehow bend photons into some kind of microscopic supercomputer?

It's good but the pages are too large. Why can't they print it in a normal size?

>what the fuck was this bullshit with the filament
Nano engineering is very real, although many speculate a single atom blade wouldn't cut things physically
>why the fuck couldn't the trisolarians develop some better ftl-travel for their fleet if they were able to somehow bend photons into some kind of microscopic supercomputer
The fleet left a long time before they developed the protons

The oil funding guy did seem pretty out of nowhere and the pacing was somewhat botched

You should really read the sequels, they are a really different kind of thing altogether and it's worth it

THE TRILOGY WAS GLORIOUS

I liked it a lot up until the nonsense FTL part. That really triggered me.

the dark forest was the best

And what the hell was that proton unfolding shit?

elaborate

books are great, one of the best sci fi ever definitely

IIRC they built an ansible (sophon) that allowed for instantaneous interaction between the Trisolarians and Earth (to mess up the latter's accelerator experiments). Is that right?

>YOU ARE BUGS
Anyone else LOL when reading that, having in mind that the characters are Chinese?

It's a pretty good story written by a terrible writer.

Like I don't speak Mandarin, but if the English translation wasn't a translation but an original novel, it would be a terrible novel written by a bad writer with some good ideas.

Honestly the police chief was the only likable character, not because he was that good a character seeing as he was a two dimensional sports orbiting hard knocks detective who didn't have time for none a' these eggheads and bureaucrats, but he was the ONLY character with even a 2 dimensional human personality.
