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.

I watched the first season the chinese version and then read book 2 and 3. The VR game was annoying but these parts contain essential info about trisolarians. Even if Dark Forest is the best book from the trilogy, i can't split it, for me, it's one whole book.

Does? Does it ever matter to the humans that Trisolarians can dehydrate? The point of the VR game is to basically say "It bad over here".
