I just read Wandering Earth in one sitting.There is a MAJOR MAJOR plot hole at the very end of the book that is also the MAJOR CLIMAX OF THE BOOK!Look, I'm dancing around tons of spoilers, but know that thing they thought hadn't changed?  The reason for the climax?Well, how could everyone be so mistaken to the point of all the damage done JUST for the thing they were waiting for happen -- according to the book -- "ONE HOUR LATER"!?!That's Deux ex Machina if I've ever seen it, and we're dealing w/ literal astronomic-scale times, here!THAT ruined it for me.  Absolutely ruined it for me.The book should have stopped when they started moving. After that, it went wayyy downhill.
