Oof I’m beyond hyped for this show . So many ways it could go , so many ways it could end , so many things that could happen , so many characters to meet etc if anyone here has read the books stfu and don’t talk to me (about it until the series ends ).
Oh my fuckin god, if you’re into sci-fi then you’re in FOR THE BIGGEST TREAT OF YOUR LIFE!
This series is damn amazing. I didn’t read the book myself but I listen to audiobooks and recaps/explainations on YT. And I can tell you that this is NOT your typical space sci-fi “mankind vs. alien” motives. It’s so…SO much more.
The Netflix series has changed a lot of original material to be more appealing and relatable to western audience, and I don’t blame them.
I’ve been listening to the audiobooks and more than anything else I’ve been struggling with keeping track of the characters due to the names being so Chinese. It’s very Western of me, but I can’t remember any of the names from minute to minute.
I also think the narrator is kinda meh, and that’s important in an audiobook.
Sincerely hoping these two two don't give the final season the GoT treatment. Yeah they have the material this time, thankfully... just don't give these guys a movie contract so they can squirrel.
Is there really any reason then to view this series if one's already watched the Chinese version? I thought that one was pretty phenomenal, and felt like the Netflix version couldn't possibly compare
I preferred the Chinese version. Hollywood’s take didn’t have the same atmosphere and the pacing was weird.
They never let you soak in any particular moment, time, or place. Every little plot line or detail that could be cut, was. It felt to me like a very long tldr or a string of trailers glued together. So many trailer-style corny one-liners.
I’m sure I’m forgetting some parts that were actually enjoyable, but I feel like I wouldn’t have missed out on anything had I not watched it.
Thanks for the detailed reply! Those were basically my assumptions, but good to know from someone's opinion I feel I can trust. Definitely gonna skip on it and keep waiting for Tencent's season 2. I'm so hyped for the next book 🤩
