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.

Afaik the first season is a mix of stories from all 3 books. For example “brain” part is from 3rd book.

Good to know. I'm currently listening to The Culture series by Ian Banks. I really dig the post scarcity benevolent society.
