Review was written at Chapter 976.
After chapter 600 the story slowly goes down in both quality and content.
Where, once it was science fiction it's slowly moving into the realm of science fantasy.
Where once it was in the realms of possibilities, it's turned into just another modern day system novel where MC is the king.
The novel slowly looses it charm. Despite the complex mathematical questions and content, people can eto read it because it was something new. Something fun. How could a simple man turn into a genius through efforts. It even inspired people to study!
Now?
He's jumping from one mega project to another. One moment he's building a fusion reactor, the next he's sending people to moon using electric propulsion rocket. If that wasn't enough, he's building a space station in moons orbit and a semi settlement on moon. In between he's creating quantum computer and Lithium Air batteries and starting a mine on moon.
Plus most of the things makes no sense. he builds a rocket in around six months and sends them to orbit. Six months later he's sending three astronauted to months later they are launching a space station and a month later sending rocket to Mars. Wtf?
Are you making Lego pieces? What about tests? What about trials? The author knew his maths. Despite some problems it made you feel that, yes, this is some serious study.
But rockets? Author simply puts everything into the background. MC will build the thruster and engine, rest all is outsourced to other companies. Atleast describe it! Where you were once writing chapters after chapters decribing theorms and conjectures, now it's finished ina single para!
I have similar problems with his fusion reactor... But anyway.
It's now reaching chapter 1000,and we have no character development. He has just become more smarter and has fingers in several pies. His reaction after winning nobel? 'It's okay. ' The MC has become so dull that you need to force yourself to read any further.
His relationship? ZERO. It would have been fine if author wantshim to become a wizard. But why do you need to bring our attention to his relationship status every few chapters. He meets his parents, they ask about his marriage and gf. He talks with his his sister, she asks him about gf. He talks with people. Some or the other guy brings marriage and love into the equation. It gets annoying after few times.
After chapter 600-650, his practical and theoretical work slowly decreases. You have him meeting people after people, attending one conference after another, one award ceremony after another. We came to read about him and his love for maths. His research. It's fine if author wants to show the after effects, his popularity and how everyone treats him. But it has slowly taken over, what made this story attractive.
The guy has been solving a single theorem ( The Riemann hypothesis) for more than 100-200 chapters. It would have been great if author was simply extending it to increase the *******. It would vene make sense, as it is one of the most complex theorem. But nope! Most of the 200 chapters are shown him tinkering with other things, attending conference or him talking with politicians and businessmen.
The story is slowly losing its identity.
Yes, such things are required to show his growth in social status. But it should have been balanced with his research and study. Now even if he solves a theorem, it barely crosses a chapter or two. Rest 10 chapters are just reactions and discussions. The feeling you got when he solved something is missing. Now it's like...'oh, he solved it. Clap. Clap. Clap. '
Anyway. That's it for now.
Cya.
