What the title says, I’m tired of the trope where humans are the least advanced in the universe.
I’d like to read something different where we’re the more advanced ones (not necessarily the most advanced). As an example I quite enjoyed the Ender’s Game sequels and the angle of us being the more advanced ones was quite interesting.
Do you have any recommendations?
It’s fun but on the second re-read I can’t help but notice how first-person perspective is extremely overused and the overall writing style could use some refinement.
Yeah it’s not great writing but it’s fun so I’m cool with it. Fourth book should not have happened though.
The one with the space river megastructure? I really liked that one actually, kinda reminded me of Ringworld with the whole “exploring an alien megastructure whose inhabitants don’t know how to build such things anymore” sorta plot.
Yeah I didn’t hate the premise, it just felt rushed and incomplete. It’s kind of like I went to a lunch place where I’ve had a lot of good meals but today I got a basket of cold fries with too little salt.
Wasn’t tracking there was a fourth. Third seemed like a logical conclusion.
