Becoming a Genius in Swallowed Star

Just finished reading the first chapter and wanted to say something. Author, why did you have to involve the country and the military in your novel? How are you going to write the rest? It's going to be complicated. You might as well have just written about the marginalization of martial arts practitioners.

Honestly, the writing style is alright. The genre is also one of my favorites—a combination of devouring and multiverse elements. But all you do is research how to build spaceships and develop battle suits. Wanting to be a scientist?! I just can't stand it!!! You got an Ultraman clone, but instead of using it to research the Laws of Light, you spend all your time being a scientist.

Did the protagonist's intelligence boost go to his brain tumor?

The first chapter is a disaster. According to the author's setting, the average person's intelligence is around 100, and a top scientist's is over 1000. The protagonist's intelligence is three times that of a top scientist, exceeding 3000. Other organizations developed cultivation methods, but the protagonist couldn't.

With the protagonist's intelligence, getting into Tsinghua or Peking University wouldn't be a problem. If he worked hard enough, he could even get into the gifted youth program. Even in times of war, a nation wouldn't send promising scientists to be cannon fodder. At most, they'd reduce university admissions, suspend enrollment at some schools, and expand the military.

At first glance, 3,000 points in intelligence doesn't seem like much; it just makes you look stupid. What's the point of allocating points like that? Joining the army or doing scientific research are much more promising career paths...

Keep it up, handsome! I'll give you tickets everywhere.

What's the point of cultivating internal energy in Swallowed Star? To be honest, the internal energy system is basically useless there; the level is too low. It's more like transmigrating into a martial arts world to learn its techniques. After all, martial arts techniques were quite useful back on Earth.

There's no future in Devouring Technology. Researching low-level stuff is fine, but if you develop something like a two-dimensional foil that's highly destructive to the universe, you're probably done for.

Now this is what fanfiction should be like! Having a system, knowing the plot, and even developing it beforehand, yet after hundreds of chapters, you're still about the same level as the protagonist. Even a pig is better than you. You can participate in the plot, but you don't have to do everything. Can't you live without the protagonist?
