I'm a big fan of that series (the second one being my favorite), but I also get where you're coming from. I felt that, as books went on, they became more about the Science-Fiction concepts and less about the characters. I do hope you come back around to it though, as I thought that the second half of The Dark Forest was better than the first.
I'm on the second book of the three-body problem series, Dark Forest. Finding it not so enganging as the first One..

Maybe that was it. I found fascinating the cultural revolution backdrop on the first one.
I really wanted to like the first one, but I couldn't get into it.
