Decent fanfic!
I thought this book had a lot of fun ideas and well worth a read if you're a fan of the Three Body Problem books.

Very good job, even if there's now way it reaches the heights of Cixin Liu's masterpiece.
Look, when you decide to add book 4 to one of the all-time sci-fi masterpieces (in my mind, the best), you're asking for trouble. It's not just Liu's incredible imagination that this Baoshu is aiming to match, it's brilliant writing. In the former, Baoshu does very well. He adds some nice touches in the backstory, explaining some open loops in the original. It's also a very clever ending. Concerning the writing, Baoshu's not in Liu's class (at least yet.) Some of the writing is trite, and I don't think it has anything to do with the translation.He also tends to meander, making me wonder just where the heck he's going at times. He does manage to tie everything up nicely in the end. It was worth the read, though I think it should be going for about half the price.

Perfect ending
A bit hard to read at start, maybee also because English is not my native language. But all in all a great ending of a Three Body Problem.

It’s tough to get through at times.
It’s incredibly sad what happened to Cixin with his publisher deciding to add this fan fiction into the series. The information is interesting, expanding on the brilliant story of Cixin. But I couldn’t help but to cringe a lot. Some parts read like hentai manga by an incel. I think the author believes that by including uncommon adjectives he’s writing better, when in reality it comes off as pretentious. Forced paragraphs describing the scene we contrived and felt inorganic.I appreciated the story Yun recanted of his experience with the Trisolarians but his dialogue throughout was hard to read sometimes. I’m almost sad I’ve decided to read this.

Feels More Like Manga Than a Novel
The fourth book's distinct style is notable. The partner swap from the third book's conclusion makes great fodder for this fanfic. It's an entertaining read, though it might not be for everyone.

Different Writer, Great Read
The tone differs from the original. But it very neatly ties up all the plot holes and missing details from the trilogy, making it essential for those who are at unease over the original ending. The story is highly creative and imaginative. Deducting a single star because it can get a bit “spiritual” at times when looking at the expanse of the cosmos but it’s a great story that I’ll be carrying with me for the rest of my life

A very worthy paraquel to Three Body Problem
If the original three body problem trilogy left you awed and stimulated but unsatisfied, this book puts a bow on it. Baoshu does a fantastuc homage to Cixin and most of your favorite characters come back. Great reveal about the Trisolarans!

Perfect ending to the three body problem. Not as exciting or suspenseful as the trilogy but very satisfying. Totally recommend.

Don't Give Up
I would recommend this book to anyone who has read the original series. The translation is good. Mind blowing ideas, carefully constructed plot. Confusing in it's individual sections, it does come together well at the very end. Most enjoyable.

Momentum will take you through
After having read the three body trilogy, the momentum will take you through this one on a smooth ride. Surprisingly for me, I finished the book within two days. Since there was a gap of about 8 months before the last one of the series, it was pleasing to recall all the characters and plots introduced in an interesting way as the storyline continues from Yun Tianming's perspective. The book stitches the gaps very well, though, it sounds little bit of conversational in parts, but it's fine since we are talking about complicated 10 dimensional space with occasional reference to 11th dimension super membrane :). Not too many plot twists as the original one, but worth a read nonetheless.
