Luo Ji doesn't show up in the first book, I misattributed some of Wang Miao's stuff to him, my mistake.

~~I just read some reviews and had a look at the imdb page - not looking good. No Luo Gi? He's basically the main character.~~

~~Classic dumb & dumber production. David Benioff and DB Weiss are the 2 chucklefucks that took a massive dump on the last few seasons of GoT. How are these hacks still getting work?~~

Well GoT was good until they ran out of source material and the 3BP books are all out so maybe we'll avoid it falling off a cliff.

I read the books back when they came out and I'm pretty fuzzy on the details now, so I'm not going to be able to complain about what they've changed.

They had books for more than just the first couple seasons of GoT. Quality dropped from about season 4.

~~Luo Gi is THE wallfacer~~

spoiler~~who figures out how to destroy solar systems, effectively stopping the trisolaran invasion~~
~~. He is there at the end~~
spoiler~~of our solar system when everything gets sucked into 2d space~~
~~. He's easily the most pivotal character in the books and he's not in the show. What else is there to say?~~

I think season 4 was the peak, and it looks like that's a common opinion: https://www.ratingraph.com/tv-shows/game-of-thrones-ratings-26649/

The episodes remain highly rated until the last season, although those of us who had read the books were complaining more before then - for me it was the combining of characters in a way that created plot armour, which ruined a big part of what made GoT great.
