Still a very fun read, but I didn't like it as much as The Three-Body Problem. I still plan to read Death's End. I had 2 big issues for this book when compared to the first. 

1. several things just seemed a little too convenient or unreasonable. I can't go into it without spoilers, but it's like even though it's fiction, there would be moments where the characters stopped being characters and decided to start debating in a very contrived way (like reasoning in mystery manga). The other is a biggish spoiler not for main plot but important to the story:

Luo Ji literally dreams up a fantasy girl in favor of his real flawed human girlfriend, and then he just magically gets this girl?? She exists AND she conveniently falls in love with him??? Sorry, but there are already very few female characters in this story, and instead of getting one with some insight into Luo Ji's brain we get a blank, 1-dimensional, white-dress pure girl? C'mon.

 

I feel what I feel, but I also must say it's still a good read. It's engaging enough for me to want to read the next one, and the occasional humor is a pleasant surprise. I'm just hoping the third book will lean away from the unbelievable solutions and be more like the
