Those summaries are pretty lousy and also have hallucinations in them.

I agree. Below are a few errors. I have also asked ChatGPT to check the summaries and it found all the errors (and even made up a few more which weren't actual errors, but just not expressed in perfect clarity.)

Spoilers ahead!

First novel: The Trisolarans did not contact earth first. It was the other way round.

Second novel: Calling the conflict between humans and Trisolarans a "complex strategic game" is a bit of a stretch. Also, the "water drops" do not disrupt ecosystems. I am not sure whether "face-bearers" is an accurate translation. I've only read the English version.

Third novel: Luo Yi does not hold the key to the survival of the Trisolarans and there were no "micro-black holes" racing towards earth. Trisolarans were also not shown colonizing other worlds.

I am also not sure whether Luo Ji faced his "personal struggle and psychological turmoil" in this novel or in an earlier novel. He certainly was most certain of his role at the end. Even the Trisolarians judged him at over 92 % deterrent rate.

Yeah describing Luo Ji as having "struggles with the ethical implications of his mission" is the biggest whopper.

He's like God's perfect sociopath. He wobbles between total indifference to his mission and interplanetary murder-suicide, and the only things that seem to really get to him are a stomachache and being ghosted by his wife.
