Should be less than an hour now. Basing this on that it seems like streaming networks tend to upload new stuff around a specific time I my time zone. So hopefully it's about to show up It's 8 episodes and all at once ... Copied to Clipboard!

The first book I found was a slog. Im not sure how well it will translate into a TV show. Weiss et al are probably a good choice for trying to add some mystery and intrigue to the series. At the very least it has the book to fall back on for material so theyll be less making it up as they go along ala lost.

The first episode of the show hasn't impressed me. I'll keep watching, but I'm not sure how high my hopes are. I've yet to read the book, but still planning to get to it later this year.

The books are decent but I suspect the hype comes from the fact that it's pretty much China's first sci-fi blockbuster as sci-fi has been traditionally looked down upon in China. It still pales in comparison to Soviet sci-fi works like those of the Strugatsky Brothers.

I just read the first book over the past few days since I'd been meaning to for a while and the TV series motivated me to stop procrastinating and I was not particularly thrilled. felt like I read a plot/concept outlinefor a story rather than an actual proper novel; bbasically none of the characters have any personality and things just constantly happen out of nowhere with little warning or explanation. feels like there's probably some good core idea there but as it is the book is basically nonsense

I saw some blurb for this show saying it was about 'five friends' (all young and telegenic) using their gifts to fight an existential threat.
And I thought: is there some kind of shitty YA version of the novel that they are adapting instead? --- 'Vinyl is the poor man's art collection'. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I saw some blurb for this show saying it was about 'five friends' (all young and telegenic) using their gifts to fight an existential threat.While I have no doubt that some of the casting decisions were to more broadly increase audience appeal, part of it was to address a genuine logistical issue arising from a first person book to a TV series. The books have quite a bit of internal monologing. This just doesn't translate to TV well. Especially if the monologing is about mathematics, physics and philosophy. Splitting the book roles to make the cast to make it bigger allows for the characters to actually talk out these ideas among each other. Which typically works a lot better than having a voice over monologs. That said I do have issues with how they linked up --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed ... Copied to Clipboard!

It doesn't really have interesting characters. They tried to fix that with the Netflix show and it's debatable if that worked, but the main plot points are there, so I think it's fine. I personally enjoy a lot of the ideas in the trilogy but don't actually consider it well written fiction. Would be better as like the background lore to a fiction setting or something. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss ...

I finished it. Didn't like it much. Imo the Chinese version that's on Amazon is much better.

It had alot of flashbacks and whatever you call it when the last few minutes of an episode plays at the start of the next episode. 20 or 24 episodes would probably be about right. --- So!
