This is a soft science fiction novel with some fantasy elements on the theme of biological evolution and adventure exploration. The story is written in a bland and documentary-like style. From the perspective of the protagonist "Lin", explore the strange environmental phenomena in the universe, witness the rise and fall of alien civilizations one after another, and discover modern or ancient history.
In addition to the rich and detailed setting, the story is unique in that it does not use anthropocentric narrative techniques. In other words, whether it is the protagonist or the supporting characters in the story, they all have their own set of thinking models of "alien creatures" that fit the environment. Rather than simply "humans in alien skin" like other science fiction novels. Many human-specific concepts, such as gender antagonism, class conflict, political struggle, capital exploitation, etc., do not apply to most of the characters in this story.
If you're interested in the perspective of "real" aliens, perhaps this is the novel for you.
By the way, as you read this novel...be patient.
