    The first book in the "True Science" series starts with the protagonist talking about science, but he gradually lets his guard down and becomes a god or immortal (I don't know why this book has such a low rating). The second book is similar; the lightning-attracting mechanic is supposedly due to the violent resonance of positive and negative ions, and the sword-flying is described as a miniature anti-gravity device. The rating is a bit low, but it's quite entertaining.
