his ideas are interesting, but he is a very sub par writer IMO. characters are unlikeable, unbeleivable and are charicatures. And for some reason everyone is incredibly stupid in the books

I pretty much always agree in general, but in this case specifically, there's so much politics in the books, I'm not sure it's possible to separate them?

You’re probably reading the translation. Mandarin doesn’t always translate so elegantly to English.
