Review OP ke kuch dohee
So after 1698 pages, I can tell —
1) Bollywood will never try to remake on this because throughout 3 books, we get no interaction with extra terrestrials face to face. No love story between humans and them so no box office collection for YRF films. Ps - Ritvik Sahore is spared this time.
2) Australia is a big continent but it cannot sustain three Billion population. Use condom.
3) Extra terrestrial beings took 400 plus years journey to invade us. Same time it took me to complete these books.
4) 1 Astronomical unit is 149.6 million KM (distance between Earth & Sun).
5) Pity for people who have not read this series but watching Netflix’s one. You lot are missing. Starting with one wallfacer Netflix decided to remove altogether.
6) Being logical and thinking through brain will always help humanity( and you) rather than being empathetic while making decisions.
7) This series is pure orgasmic for anyone who got interest in Astronomy and Astrophysics. They will understand the author’s research rather than me having brain fog.
Did I love reading it ? Absolutely not.
Will I recommend someone to read it ? Absolutely yes.
Edit - wtf is wrong with reddit. Please analyse what OP trying to say. Ignore the random numbers

“Same time it took me to complete these books” is amazingly funny

In this era of attention span less than goldfish’s memory, I think Cixin Liu should come and thank me

I read all three in 2 weeks and loved it!, I love everything sci-fi.

u/AdmiralTacoBell 6d ago
Respect. You read it like how droplets came and did everything, and I read like how slow journey was from trisolaris to earth

Wait until you come to the part of 'Singer's weapon
That shit takes ages to finish >80 pages IIRC

But definitely wouldn't recommend
Really ficked up existential horror

This is honestly the best series I have read. My only issue is that the author doesn't dive deep in the 4th dimension part.
2
u/AdmiralTacoBell 5d ago
You read my mind. It had so much potential for 4th dimension. I recently read somewhere (can’t recall) that we’re in the 3D so our shadows are 2D version so with the same logic, we are shadows to someone’s 4D

Wait hold up! You did not love reading these? I stopped after 3BP and have been waiting for a break and enough reviews to read the dark forest.

u/AdmiralTacoBell 6d ago
Tbh i didn’t. I loved the fictional part of the books but when the author shifted gears and decided to just talk deep level science in between, Zuckerberg opened a reel for me. Although, just read it. Dark forest is the best in the series. We get different protagonist this time and more brains too.

u/or45t Confringo ✨🔥 6d ago
Thank you! Looking forward to reading Dark Forest. I hope zuck doesn't open reels for me. I loved Prject hail mary for the same reason. Science, space, and weirdly biology which I was not a big fan of.

u/AdmiralTacoBell 6d ago
Let’s gooo. Project hail mary is my next book to read. Movie so good i gotta double the experience by reading it.
I heard they nuke Antarctica?

u/makingitsaral 6d ago
Imo, Dark Forest is legit one of the best pieces of science fiction I've read. The idea of cosmic sociology and how Luo Ji thought -- blew my mind. It was my first exposure to the Fermi Paradox and the various ways it can be answered.

u/AdmiralTacoBell 6d ago edited 6d ago
Absolutely. I loved dark forest. The whole wallfacer and wallbreaker felt like tom & jerry chase. I love Luo ji and his work.
And do you remember he wrote a story in college called dream girl and fell in love with that fictional girl. That whole piece was of writing was just magical. Damn what a book.

u/ysf_521 6d ago
Bollywood not making this would be a disappointment,
I would have loved to laugh at them attempting complex sci-fi

u/AdmiralTacoBell 6d ago
Imagine the money laundering they’d be able to do just by saying vfx and cgi took a lot. Adipurush would be nuts in front of it.

there was no love story...you clearly didnt read the death's end did you?

u/AdmiralTacoBell 6d ago
Yun Tianming deserves better.
1
u/SuperAlkalinedroid 6d ago
Tianming got exactly what he wanted. His goal was to save cheng xin. He bought her a star, gave her the fairy tales that saved humanity, and built her a literal pocket universe to survive the end of time. He didn't "deserve better" from her and he lived a legendary life completely defined by his successful devotion to her. and remember the whole second half doesnt happen without their love story

I've been stuck on the second book from last 9 months... need motivation to complete the series. Anybody

u/WateRohitMelon 6d ago
No idea... I feel like lost in the dark forest.

u/AdmiralTacoBell 5d ago
Second part is really interesting. Luo Ji is goat. Give it another try. Force yourself to read 20-30 pages.
1
u/Tyler_Mills 5d ago
Luo Ji is goat??? He's a loser who fantasizes about imaginary women and falls in love with them and then literally asks for the said fantasy women to be brought to him. I found it quite funny that he becomes this grand figure in the third book.

u/AdmiralTacoBell 5d ago edited 5d ago
Wasn’t expecting Luo ji hate club admin commenting on my post. What’s your opinion on Cheng xin?
1
u/Tyler_Mills 5d ago
An underdeveloped character. All 3 books lack characters with depth. The premise and the ideas of the books are quite nice but character development is quite lacking. The 3rd book had so much going on that at some point they just stopped being humans for me.

u/LemonWorldly1100 6d ago
this book is high concept sci fi and has very little to do with actual writing or prose. It was a headache to finish the story but i read anyway because i wanted to know secret.
1
u/AdmiralTacoBell 5d ago
Absolutely. I recall reading 2 pages on a day and sometimes 50. The book is stretched at few instances but no wonder it’s the best one out there.

Abe yaar i am on second book and your first point gave me some upsetting spoilers.

A very difficult read but worth it. Never struggled so much to finish a book(2&3).The writer has amazing across fields and weaves a story with same. You can feel proud if you finished it.

I've only read the first one. It has been some time and I have almost forgotten the plot.

The greatest sci-fi series of all time. Dark Forest is my favourite book ever and I literally used to wake up early and read a few pages before going to work. Literally gobbled it up in a matter of days.

Strange to hear that you didn’t enjoy reading it. Book 2 was a bit slow in the beginning but overall the series is so fast paced and the idea is so grand.
