Rebirth: I am Sai, but the animation Three Body

Synopsis

A soul is reincarnated as Sai within the universe of the Three-Body Problem, intending to use future knowledge to accelerate the Deterrence Era. The protagonist plans to guide figures like Luo Ji and Zhang Beihai to ensure humanity's survival. However, they discover this version of the world is fundamentally flawed, with the original geniuses reduced to incompetent versions of themselves. This novel reads like a "fix-it" fan-fiction, blending hard sci-fi elements with the "competence porn" trope where one individual carries the entire species. It is ideal for readers who enjoy power fantasies and seeing established plots subverted for an optimistic outcome; however, those seeking the original's oppressive dread should skip it. The pacing is driven by the protagonist's efforts to drag an inept society toward salvation, with the standout quality being the humorous contrast between the protagonist's intellect and the modified personalities of the original cast.
