Finally started reading 3-body problem. The translated style is kinda rough and overwrought. Does it reflect original Chinese stylings or something?

i think in the foreword they said they wanted to keep it close to the "chinese authorship style"

Funny, I actually explicitly liked this about the translation. Feels like you get a little glimpse behind a language I don't unfortunately speak...

Just started it myself. Hope it can live up to expectations

I read it in English, my wife in Mandarin. I think it's vaguely Shamalayan-y in that it does start as a different mouth-feel to the mass of it. I took is as a sign of authenticity that ChiSciFi has undertones that I hear but don't 'get'.
