This story like many others tend to use the trick of making the MC more dumb to drive the plot. Writing an intelligent MC comes with the hassle of how do you get them into dangerous situations since they'd naturally avoid them until they can plan to take them on. Authors then have to either godhand them into accidents, or power their intelligence and make them forget x or mistaken y. That is the entire problem with them book. Along with sub-par characters and poor wording and grammer structuring.
