Has anyone read The 3-Body Problem Series? [View all]

I’m about 3/4 finished with book 1, “The 3-Body Problem,” and unless the following books are substantially better, I think I might give up and move on. 1 and done.

Any encouragement to go to book 2 “The Dark Forest?”

Note: it’s not too techy for me. It’s just kinda boring.
