Luo Ji doesn’t show up in the first book, I misattributed some of Wang Miao’s stuff to him, my mistake.
I just read some reviews and had a look at the imdb page - not looking good. No Luo Gi? He’s basically the main character.Classic dumb & dumber production. David Benioff and DB Weiss are the 2 chucklefucks that took a massive dump on the last few seasons of GoT. How are these hacks still getting work?Luo Ji isn’t even introduced until book 2. Season 1 is only book 1. I hate D&D for what they did go GOT as much as anyone else, but find something real to critique.
You are right, I misattributed some of Wang Miao’s stuff to Luo Ji. I’m editing my comments right now.
No Luo Gi? He’s basically the main character.
Yeah, he was who we followed but was he really a character? I deeply loved Three Body Problem but my only critism was that the charcters were kind of cardboard cutouts with thin personalities. But that didn’t matter because the concepts, physics and ideas in the books were so dang interesting.
No clue if this adaption will work, just that I can see a version with basically none of the original main characters still working. Just gotta wait and see how this all plays out.

IMO he was absolutely a character and his actions are pivotal at several points in the plot of the trilogy. They could’ve written a better personality, but literally removing the one guy who is there at every point in the plot?The characters are definitely thin in the books, because the books are more about worldbuilding and sci fi concepts than characters and plots. My expectation is that this will be fucked up in all the same ways the Foundation series is fucked up.
Are you sure he’s in the first book? I only read the first one a few months back and I’m not sure who you are talking about (although Chinese names tend to be harder to remember). I did check on the wiki and it doesn’t mention him.
Then I must be misremembering.
I just looked it up and I’m attributing some of the stuff Wang Miao does to Luo Ji. I would’ve bet money on it, but I’m 100% wrong. I’ll edit my other comments to clear up my mistake.
Well GoT was good until they ran out of source material and the 3BP books are all out so maybe we’ll avoid it falling off a cliff.
I read the books back when they came out and I’m pretty fuzzy on the details now, so I’m not going to be able to complain about what they’ve changed.
They had books for more than just the first couple seasons of GoT. Quality dropped from about season 4.

Luo Gi is THE wallfacerspoiler
who figures out how to destroy solar systems, effectively stopping the trisolaran invasion. He is there at the endspoiler
of our solar system when everything gets sucked into 2d space. He’s easily the most pivotal character in the books and he’s not in the show. What else is there to say?I think season 4 was the peak, and it looks like that’s a common opinion: https://www.ratingraph.com/tv-shows/game-of-thrones-ratings-26649/
The episodes remain highly rated until the last season, although those of us who had read the books were complaining more before then - for me it was the combining of characters in a way that created plot armour, which ruined a big part of what made GoT great.
GoT was good until they ran out of source material
There’s so much wrong with this statement, I don’t even know where to begin. Let’s go with: these two backbirths started their shit circus lonnng before GoT “ran out” of source material, and even by the time the storyline exceeded the physical books, GRRM had made a career of lifting historical plots, scenes, etc. unedited (save for names) to the point that anyone could’ve done better than the lifted-cheek-squirt they gave us.
Nah. Fuck these two into the dirt and leave them as whimpering stains for the ants.

Crap, didn’t know it was them.
I know I’m in the minority, but I didn’t love the book. It got more and more implausible to the point where I had a hard time suspending disbelief. I only read the first one.
I’m assuming all the plot basics, including the ending portion, are the same in the show as in the book?
Is this yet another Korean show? Cause I just can’t
No
