There are plenty of night owls on the internet.
Most of these night owls have now seen the second book.
The more they read, the more the readers are shocked!
"The first book was already so amazing, and it turns out it was all just a setup. In the second book, the protagonist switch, and the whole plot of the first book becomes a backdrop to enhance the brilliance of the second book. This isn’t something an average writer would dare to pull off, it’s absolutely awesome!"
"I just want to know when the Trisolarans are arriving?"
"Hahaha, clearly the title is The Three-Body Problem, and they’ve been saying the Trisolarans are coming, yet so far, there’s not a hair of a Trisolaran to be seen. All you see are battles of wits and courage in technology and thought between the two sides, and yet I’m still hooked."
"Feels like there are tons of cool sci-fi ideas in this book!"
"Exactly, I feel the same way. Many of the concepts here, if taken individually, could write an entire sci-fi novel!"
"Only The Three-Body Problem makes me feel like the old rascal is a setting maniac in writing sci-fi!"
"Luo Ji’s personality is maxed out in charm!"
"By the time I got to the second book, I no longer dislike Ye Wenjie."
"Did you guys see the Dark Forest Theory!?"
"The second book, compared to the first, is practically an epic upgrade version!"
"Now that’s a climax. The Trisolarans seem like gods to humans, and Luo Ji threatens the Trisolarans using the Dark Forest Theory, comparing a mortal body to the divine. It’s mind-blowing!"
The great climax of the second book is Luo Ji threatening the Trisolarans with the Dark Forest Theory!
The Trisolarans, afraid of causing collateral damage, suffered a huge loss for the first time.
It’s no wonder they would give the deadly order to assassinate Luo Ji at all costs.
It wasn’t just Luo Ji lighting up the second book.
Luo Ji’s come-from-behind counterattack is a huge highlight.
Zhang Beihai setting off for the galaxy, this storyline is also grand and magnificent!
Luo Ji and Zhang Beihai are the two parallel protagonists of The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest.
The former is an ordinary scholar bearing the heavy responsibility of all humanity, ultimately saving Earth through understanding cosmic laws; the latter is a soldier fighting to protect Earth, using every means in a desperate war to preserve civilization.
There are also criticisms.
For instance, someone said: "The romance in the second book of The Three-Body Problem feels like it’s the most half-assed one Chu Kuang has written, filled with the mindset of a straight man. Probably because this old rascal has put all his mind into the brilliance of the sci-fi, and he’s too lazy to bother about the romance."
The romance in The Three-Body Problem indeed doesn’t have much to say.
However, the romance written by Chu Kuang has also been widely praised.
People like Guo Jing and Huang Rong, Yang Guo and Little Dragon Maiden, for instance, once became a national couple in people’s hearts.
Seeing the cliché romance in The Three-Body Problem story, the first reaction of readers is that this old rascal half-assed the romance writing.
Not that he’s limited in capability.
It seems everyone believes that if the old rascal wanted to, he could write earth-shattering love stories. NovelHub
And after finishing the second book, most readers couldn’t hold on any longer and went to sleep.
Finally, a large number of readers saw the third book of the The Three-Body Problem series, The End of Death!
Among The Three-Body Problem series, The Dark Forest has the best reputation.
The third book, The End of Death, shows a clear polarization in reputation.
Some think it’s godlike;
Some think it’s anticlimactic.
In Lin Yuan’s view, the poor reputation of the third book is largely due to Cheng Xin’s character.
Before talking about Cheng Xin, let’s talk about Yun Tianming. Correct content is on NovelHub
The name sounds a bit like a Mary Sue male protagonist, yet thousands of readers call him the "God of the Underdogs."
You could use a phrase often said by girls, "you’re a good person," to evaluate Yun Tianming.
In the realm of emotions, Yun Tianming truly is a good person, a really good person.
You’ll never find a man as silly or as dumb as him.
Yun Tianming secretly loves Cheng Xin.
Before his death, Yun Tianming used all his savings to buy a star in the sky, then gave it to the one in his heart.
He wanted to give her the most beautiful romance.
At the moment before euthanasia, Cheng Xin’s smiling face appeared before him.
Perhaps it was heaven’s pity, at the very last moment before he left this world, he saw Cheng Xin burst in.
Cheng Xin was tearful and excited, looking at him.
His heart burst with joy.
Has happiness finally come knocking?
After enduring the clouds, you finally see the moonlight!
The goddess actually weeps for me!
Yun Tianming rejoiced too soon.
Cheng Xin held Yun Tianming’s hands and expressed:
The euthanasia was prepared by her for him. She hoped he would die and use his brain to accomplish a great cause of saving humanity!
His brain, his death, would be of great significance because of this cause.
She asked him if he was willing.
He told her that he was willing.
At that moment, his heart wept.
This is the fate of the eternal backup, the ultimate lick-spittle.
Readers call Yun Tianming a pathetic man without much malice, probably just because Cheng Xin is too detestable.
As for some saying Yun Tianming’s sacrifice was for Cheng Xin, not for humanity’s benefit, that’s arguable.
In any case, Yun Tianming is an extremely important character in The Three-Body Problem series.
Later, Yun Tianming was heartbroken by Cheng Xin. You’re even going to send my brain to the Trisolarans as an undercover?
Does a lick-spittle just not get a home?
On second thought, he was ready to die anyway, so Yun Tianming endured.
And after reaching the Trisolaran fleet, Yun Tianming began a magnificent counterattack.
From a research subject of the Trisolarans, to being able to communicate with them on equal terms, gaining the Trisolarans’ respect, and having a not-so-low status among the Trisolarans.
Yun Tianming’s abilities are evident.
This story of turning the tables wasn’t written in the The Three-Body Problem, but if it were, it would surely be highly inspiring.
You must know, the Trisolarans see Earthlings as insects.
Being willing to communicate equally with insects, and being a specimen used for research, which eventually gains respect, how formidable must this insect be?
As readers open the third book of The Three-Body Problem series, important figures of this book began to take the stage one after another.
These readers become excited:
"The Trisolarans are finally going to officially clash with Earth. The second book was so thrilling, the third book is definitely going to be even more exhilarating!"
"The second book was indeed thrilling. Just the title of the second book alone gives a sense, clearly hard sci-fi with a cosmic romance. The segment on the wallfacer and wallbreaker was a max IQ effort, and seeing Luo Ji threaten the Trisolarans made me jump up instantly!"
"I haven’t finished the second book yet, but so far, I prefer the first one."
"When I first started, I also thought The Dark Forest couldn’t compare to the first book, until I saw the description of the droplet and directly kneeled down. It was climax after climax after that, and finishing it felt like one word: masterpiece!"
"Let’s not discuss the second book for now."
"The third book is called The End of Death?"
"This title, why does it feel not quite friendly?"
"What does The End of Death mean?"
"I have a~bad feeling~"
"Considering the old rascal’s tendencies, just a reminder for you all, shape up or ship out."
"Will the ending be a complete wipeout?"
"Hopefully not... right?"
Readers recalled the fear of being dominated by Chu Kuang the old rascal.
