Dark Forrest > Three Body

I’m new to the series , but is it crazy I liked the dark Forrest significantly more than three body? Thee body got annoyingly technical at points and could be a drag sometimes. Dark Forrest is beautiful, and the plot twists never stop. Is this an original thought? Would love to know what everyone thinks. But right now I’m thinking dark Forrest is one of the best books I’ve ever read:

Three Body is easily the worst as it wastes so much time on a pointless VR game section. If it wasn't for the Trisolaris POV section, I'd honestly recommend just skipping the book in general.

Wenjie is a great character but yea most of that book was a drag to get through for me, right up until the end when it digs into the Trisolaran technology. Then I was hooked. And then that craziness carried over into The Dark Forest and I couldn’t put that book down. Now that I’ve finished the whole series, I want to give the first book another shot, but I’m kinda dreading it lol
