I was completely prepared for the trisolaris to reach and attack the earth (since I watched the Netflix season 1 before reading the book).

below are some more expectations I had that were not fulfilled:

1. I was expecting to find out how the trisolarans looked. But they are never described.

2. Netflix series dramatised Ye Wenjie too much. I thought she'd be the centerpiece of the whole story. Although, she did play an important role by defining the "axioms".

3. I DEFINITELY DID NOT expect that the human civilization would be destroyed. Let alone the whole solar system that was pancaked. I loved it but it was too drastic.

4. I was expecting the "dark forest strike" to be an actual attack. So much prep went into defence. I thought we'd witness a battle.

5. Over-all, i think that this series does defy many expectations, but what happens is still satisfying and "wildly imaginative". I can't even begin to imagine how I'd go on to write such a story.

1. I have a lot of mixed feelings and I'm still trying to process it.

2. Immediately after the read, i felt it was a bit depressing. First the solar system ends, and the MOST depressing - Cheng Xin isn't able to spend her life with Yun.

3. Over-all I loved it, because the imagination is insane. But it also caused a lot of heart ache.

4. Time dilation is even scarier than Interstellar here.

Given how much imagination is required in Dark Forest and Death's End. It's easier to visualise it in your head than show it on a screen.

I feel it would require serious CGI and AI assist.

I mean positioning each and every bomb at every precise location must've been tough. I found it difficult to process.
