Hi, I will try to write an objective review, not like crazy fan madly praising author or hateful troll. This novel starts out great with amazing concept and smart MC and it stay that way for around 100 chapters but in the later half of the novel author change his wiritng style completely. Everything become too wordy and unnecessarily complicated. Even the most basic action from MC which should take one sentence will take entire chapter to explain. Author will start with the scenic view, the philosophy behind his action, how it'll affect everything else, why other think about that action, random trivia etc... I tried to skim but onces entires chapters started revolving around a single thought or action of MC, I had to drop it. Its impossible to find the real cannon sentences among the sea of fillers.

Yeah same thing happened with his hxh fic as well, it started great but in the latter part of the story (mid-end) everything becomes too wordy and every single sneeze of the MC has 2 chapter philosophical meaning behind it smh, and near the end itโ€™s becomes too much to tolerate and it gives you this feeling of nihilism.

Copied this review from the unedited version HxH: Researcher as my review is still the same. The edited former chapters are worth it as they make reading the chapters more fluid. The best HunterXHunter fan fiction I have read so far. The positive points that make it my best read so far: - A properly characterised main character whose desires/habits/character are his drive and make him thus an active protagonist - An intelligent main character whose end goal is knowledge and most favourite behaviour is research. This is a fresh breath to me as 99% of main character novels out there are (exaggeratedly termed) strength seeking fighting psycho maniacs who behave asstrength is the goal and solution to everything and all negative happenings to them is explained by being too weak. Also a plus is that despite that there is still enough action/fighting/danger that it still remains entertaining instead of boring. - I like that the intelligence of the main character is shown majorly through is actions, thinking and past job. This is great to me as there are so many novels out there where the author just literally says the mc is intelligent and then proceed to make the mc behave stupidly so that some plot event can happen that normally would not, if the mc were to behave intelligent as said - I like that his family is the special/abnormal Zoldyck family and MC is fitting there like a duck in water - I like his well thought out Nen abilities. I also like that you get a feeling that the MC earned/worked for those abilities and he did not get them for no reason out of nowhere(for example like those system novels where mc just gets free lottery cheat things/abilities for no reason other than the author saying that is the setting of the story). - i like the fact that this fan fiction is really only about HunterXHunter and playing out within the Hunter X Hunter world/abilities/rules. I hate those fan fiction novels where the MC is for example in HunterXHunter using abilities from different manga/anime like Naruto, One Piece etc. it always gives me a feeling of shallow/cheap copy pasting wish fulfillment rather than a proper
