Yeah the scale is huge but again we rapidly move from Sol-Alpha Centauri scale to universe level catalcysm. and god's eye over entirety of spacetime. About the esteem afaik it's the first modern Chinese book becoming really worldwide bestseller, of course they will held it in great esteem. Poland had the same phenomenon with Andrzej Sapkowski and his books are even more uneven with good start but by the last 2 the quality is in freefall.

Overall the thing i get from the issue with TBP series is that the "3rd book curse" is universal in every culture.
