How is Three-Body Problem not in here? Otherwise, good list to look at.

Whatever else you might say about The Three-Body Problem, its physics and astronomy are pretty implausible (the sequels drastically more so).

I am surprised that Dark Forest is not on the list given they have a whole section on alien life. I now judge all first contact stories against Dark Forest.

It does have Gateway on the list which had implausible black holes - so I don't think the plausibility bar is high.

Yup I would have expected to see Dark Forest because it has such a plausible universe of life and its dynamics, and a believable solution to the Fermi Paradox.

Its physics and astronomy are laughably bad.
