   I highly recommend a super, super, super good science fiction novel! It's several times better than *The Three-Body Problem*. Some people already say *The Three-Body Problem* is outdated. But this one will never be outdated. It's known as the prophet of humanity. You like fast-paced, action-packed novels? Check this out! The protagonist, Hari Seldon, is incredibly awesome. What? Your protagonist can single-handedly defeat a higher realm? That's trash. This protagonist directly predicts the next ten thousand years. Not only predicts, but also plans. What? Your villains only know how to show off? Do you know that the villain in this book, Gaia, is even more awesome than the protagonist? Don't say that using villains to create difficulties for the protagonist to show off his awesomeness? I'm asking you, who is more awesome than Gaia? I'm asking you, why does *The Three-Body Problem* have over 200,000 readers? This one hasn't even broken 10,000. Is it just because of its good advertising? If you don't believe me, just read it. Criticize me, I'll take it. I'll also give a small recommendation to my own book (the third one).
