I read 'The splashes of star seas', the book is so obscure that it has neither any official English translation nor a basic wiki page I could link
I have been quite literally moved to tears: I fucking hate this book, its authors, and even with my libre approach to creativity I think these two should've been banned from writing permanently
so, in short, it's very good but also very depressing, which is surprising for a hopeful space communism setting
I would recommend it, had it any English TL, but also would never recommend it and burn all its copies
