Yeah I agree. The only person who made total sense was Luo Ji and even he went like completely ballistic by the third book. The female character sucked so hard,

Yeah I agree. The only person who made total sense was Luo Ji and even he went like completely ballistic by the third book. The female character sucked so hard, I doubted if the author had ever written a female character before. It was Asimov levels of bad. The societal descriptions were truly amazing though. Coming out of the despair and decline with some false hope that humanity’s physics was good enough to face off and then absolutely getting their ass handed to them in a conflict with what was essentially something less than a messenger probe. I’m absolutely convinced this is what we will do as a race in such a situation.
