I felt like you do until about two thirds of the way through the second book, which is where things really pick up. These books have since become some of my favorites.
I understand where you're coming from, but I encourage you to try and power through to the end of the second book. The things you complain about are long gone by then, and you might change your mind like I did!
- sebastialonso 4y agoThanks for the advice. Will add Dark Forest to my queue.
- ribit 4y agoSecond book was a struggle for me. The wallfacer stuff was fairly boring to me and the extremely misogynistic way to long passages of „Luo Ji the incel meets young Werther“ we’re just infuriating. I has to literally skip pages there. Then there were admittedly some unexpected plot twists followed by a very banal climax aka. Dark Forest which was telegraphed from the start, with only real mystery being how nobody in 200 years didn’t reach this extremely obvious conclusion.
