Very interesting science fiction, almost comparable to the real laws of science. I love reading this fiction, about the transformation of the leading character, Luo Yuan.

Well, sounds cool to me, the violence and stuff feels like a Grimdark DC fan fiction. Plus it take an amazonian to stand by a conqueror, and for me it’s noice.

Well, in grimdark science fiction, the tone is typically pessimistic. It shows a universe where things are not getting better. There's a lot of political intrigue and power struggles. For example, in some works, corporations might have more power than governments and use it for their own greedy ends. Also, the characters are often anti - heroes, not the typical heroic figures. They have flaws and may do bad things for what they believe are good reasons.

Grimdark fiction often features a dark and gritty setting. It typically has morally ambiguous characters. For example, in some grimdark novels, the so - called 'hero' may engage in actions that are not traditionally heroic, like lying or stealing for the greater good. There is also a sense of a world that is in a state of decay or on the brink of collapse, with themes of war, suffering, and power struggles being common.

I'd say 'Neuromancer' by William Gibson. It's a classic in the cyberpunk sub - genre of grimdark fiction. The setting is a dark, seedy future where technology has both advanced and corrupted society. Then there's 'The Dark Tower' series by Stephen King. It has a post - apocalyptic feel with elements of the supernatural and a very bleak outlook in many parts. 'Gormenghast' by Mervyn Peake is also excellent. The decaying castle setting and the strange, often cruel characters create a very dark and unique atmosphere.

One way is to look for award - winning works in the genre. This can give you a good starting point. For instance, Joe Abercrombie's 'The First Law' trilogy has won many accolades. Also, consider your own interests. If you're into post - apocalyptic stories, Cormac McCarthy's 'The Road' might be a good entry point. You can also check out movie adaptations of grimdark fiction. 'Blade Runner' is a great example. Watching the movie might make you interested in reading the source material or exploring other works in the genre.
