Me too! Have you seen the Netflix show? I wonder how it compares. Thinking about watching that after finishing the book.

Good idea about subtituting with an English name. Maybe that could work, part of the challenge for me listening to the audio version is distinguishing between the different characters. "Yeah" "Da Shi" and "Wang" I can remember and distinguish, the rest are a bit muddled in my mind.

Looking forward to your review of The Supernova Era.
