As of chapter 31, started off great, good grammar, story seemed like it was priming the MC to either develop a semi-futuristic version of a Navi settlement using his technology and genius scientific intellect, essentially being a kingdom building fic, or at least having something more science related. The story could have even gone with a mutation/evolution storyline considering how much it mentioned developing new medicines and the effects of miracle fruit on the body, and it would have become a passible fanfiction. Instead we get a useless MC that virtually abandons the technology and science angle, something that he was an expert in, imprints and becomes overprotective of anything and anyone that looks at him (almost as disturbingly fast as a Twilight Jacob/Renesmee fanfiction), becomes religious faster then a cult member (which is even more odd since he was a tech/science geek), has a forced romance development that can only possibly happen if the two were the only ones left on the planet, becomes whiny and weaker then even Navi teens, and only mentions science sparingly while focusing on learning hand-to-hand combat and hunting.....this is one of the greatest wastes of potential I have seen in a while.

LIKEI'm sure that some people like stories where the theme wildly changes from the beginning, but that's just not me. If the MC is a scientific/technological pioneer and keeps mentioning how the various plants and resources can be applied to further science, then the general expectation is that the rest of the story would at least have that as a core theme, instead of a side story that is used as a magical fix-all when a problem comes up. But with this story, that same MC becomes a religious fanatic so fast it gives you whiplash. He doesn't even try to explain things using science, just excepts that the planetary hivemind is a "god"-being and becomes a hippy. The technology was only really used to make the house and some medicine, and then the remainder of the story was just slice of life nonsense. All I'm saying is that if you give certain expectations for a story, at least follow through. Otherwise it becomes jarring.
DetachedDreamer:😆 🤣 😂 😹 man itd suck if I saw this story that way. thank God im not this guy.image
I'm not questioning that Eywa is real, in the sense that it is a biological planet-wide hivemind, not a deity. The MC is a technological pioneer, but seems to not even try to use science to explain anything, and just accepts the being as a god and becomes wildly religious in record time. I've known people with actual real-life tragedies that took longer to turn to religion then this guy. The technology and science of his world could have been used much more to further the Navi-human integration, instead it is just a backdrop of the story and the story devolved into tribal nonsense. I just expected more from all the initial buildup in the earlier chapters (although I did have a premonition that this will happen when the genius nerd suddenly started acting like a gym-rat high school jock high on hormones, and just hoped that he will revert back to his adult self). But to each his own i guess.
SK33ZER9:I mean eywa is literally real, it’s kinda hard not to believe
