Publicly available intelligence: Regarding the positioning of Logic_1

```

The author really enjoys reading everyone's comments; seeing the feedback from readers is a joyful thing for someone who writes a book.

At the same time, this is also one of the most appealing aspects of web literature, being able to directly interact with readers during the creative process.

From yesterday to today, many friends have left messages in the comments section, sharing various thoughts about Logic's role, and today we're mainly going to talk about this matter.

First, I need to discuss my positioning of Logic's relationship with the protagonist. Before writing, I imagined and considered this aspect and eventually realized that "Logic doing Logic's things, the protagonist doing the protagonist's things" is the best solution.

If Jiang Yu became the Swordholder, he would be hamstrung in everything he did, and the story might even turn into one of political intrigue.

Moreover, writing it would be equally constricting, and I would become entirely engulfed in the world of the original "Three-Body" narrative.

Being the Swordholder is no easy job; Earthlings are all out to get him, and Trisolarans are constantly thinking of ways to kill him. He would become the greatest enemy in both worlds.

Jiang Yu, not becoming the Swordholder, can instead do things with more freedom.

Then there's the matter of Logic's role. In Da Liu's works, there are many splendid characters—Da Shi needs no mention as I believe no one dislikes him.

Logic as a character is more like: "The person least willing to become a Swordholder becomes the Swordholder."

The person least willing to be the Swordholder, turns out to be the best Swordholder.

When he was a Wallfacer, he was utterly reluctant, and it was only under coercion and temptation that he started to work for Humanity.

As a result, this work consumed his entire life.

Through the character of Logic, Da Liu is more critiquing Humanity's carelessness and mocking the desire for freedom and comfort.

In such a context, Logic often ended up being merely a tool.

The above is my personal view of Logic; it is purely my own opinion, and I do not expect everyone to agree, but I really wanted to share my thoughts with you all.

In this regard—not only about my view of Logic, but also similar aspects—I hope everyone can understand: I, the author, have my subjective opinions too, and it's fine as long as we generally share the same values. I can't expect to gain everyone's approval on every detail.

Logic's role in this book is not very extensive, but in essence, he will develop in alignment with the original work, and that is his position in this book.

Also, some friends really want to discuss some issues of "Three-Body" with me one-on-one. It's not that I'm unwilling to engage with you individually, but I am afraid too.

A one-on-one chat, whether it's to persuade me or "sleep me over" (just kidding), would be terrifying if it led to any shift in my initial setups, which would be frightening for the entire book.

I will take the advice from the comments section to enhance and enrich the settings of the book, but the core settings are something I am determined not to waver on. I have suffered losses in this aspect before.

Furthermore, some friends have noticed that the background timeline in the book doesn't match the time it was written. I will explain this separately, so please stay tuned.

Finally, regarding the additional updates in response to the votes, it was too late yesterday, and I forgot to mention the next opportunity for an extra update.

The next extra update will happen after we reach five hundred recommendation tickets, which isn't far off. Testing the waters with recommendations started this week and the tickets are growing quickly; we're almost at two hundred now.

So, for those of you with recommendation tickets, feel free to cast them my way, and I will repay you with honest-to-goodness extra updates.
