    That was what Three Body Problem was for me, cool idea but the writing wasn’t very good.

    But I don’t really like Chinese TV either, they have some weird story conventions that I just don’t get. Characters suddenly behave like best friends even though they just met, others are suddenly introduced without context, no one is a stranger so everyone knows everyone and randomly meet each other in the streets (how likely is that in Beijing…), people kinda teleport to other locations instead of showing the journey, things like that.

      Same book for me.

      I’m almost finished with the Netflix TV adaptation and feeling weird about it. It’s better than the books because it has characters with emotions and character words. So it’s better than the book. But then they went ahead and game of thrones it and it isn’t good either. But I’m some how still watching it.

      And every day I wonder, why!
