4.5, honestly.
I'm not really one for sci-fi books but was recommended this by a friend. A really refreshing entry in translated danmei, seeing as we never see much outside of historical entries and/or cultivation.
Both protagonists are charming in their own ways, the action itself is fast-paced, and there are some truly beautiful lines to be had.
It could certainly be a gateway into danmei for some, perhaps, especially if traditional romance isn't your thing but questioning humanity is.

an zhe, holding a gun: tell me where my spore is, you bastard human
lu feng: can you feel your hyphae burning? can you feel the void within? a person’s wavering starts from the first time their heart softens. even complete, you cannot escape me in a way that matters.
an zhe, tears streaming down his face: STOP FUCKING BULLYING ME

But that was his first time seeing a pair of eyes like that. He did not ask questions, nor did he fail to understand. There was only grief. Yet within the grief was an innocent calm, as if, so long as Lu Feng gave a reason, he would accept anything and forgive anything. He had never paid attention to anyone’s pleas before, but that one time, he lifted the white cloth covering the corpse to reveal that person’s wound. A person’s wavering starts from the first time their heart softens.
