Starting with The Bourne Identity

I'll just ramble a bit. Aside from the beginning, the story went off track when it got to the point of the protagonist returning to the CIA. Your fanbase isn't here to watch you be America's lackeys. You should have used that part of the story to introduce the Continental Hotel, taking it outside the Stepping Stones agent framework.

Without any special abilities, how can the protagonist, a mercenary from a past life, survive in the movie world?

Jason Bourne was hunted down because he was unlucky. He was doing side jobs for Conklin and Albert, secretly killing a wealthy Russian couple and stealing $80 million from the CIA, along with his identity as a stepping stone assassin. If Jason Bourne had died earlier, the matter could have been left unpunished.

Well, to put it simply, this book sets the protagonist as an elite agent of Project Treadstone, complete with some kind of cheat code or cunning, etc. But after reading for a while, I realized there's nothing particularly special about him. For a large portion of the book, unless it's explicitly stated otherwise, I wouldn't even know he's the protagonist.

The main characters seem increasingly incompetent, and the focus is entirely on how powerful America is.

The protagonist knows this is a spy thriller, knows his own identity, knows Pamela's identity, knows his superior is corrupt, and knows that Pamela will later take down his superior. When ordered to assassinate Pamela, the protagonist can't figure out why his superior wants to kill her. Why not just defect?

Adding a mainland hotel setting before the game was a mistake. In any place where national sovereignty is basically intact, a single force is simply not enough to accomplish anything. The power of a nation is all-encompassing. The five permanent members of the UN Security Council would never allow a global organization to remain outside of their control.

They killed off Bourne at first, then brought him back to life because he was popular. It's just going with the flow and it's pointless.

While the fight scenes were well-written, this book, like the author's previous work, has a kind of suffocating quality that grows increasingly difficult to read. The reason is simple: the author seems extremely fixated on his so-called realism, causing the protagonist's and author's intelligence to fluctuate wildly, like an electrocardiogram.

The beginning was fine, but problems arose after rescuing the sister. The biggest problem was his identity. Dude, you're a secret agent, and you've become a chatterbox, even actively participating in unrelated events under your real name. You either need to join FBL or use a fake identity. How can you run for president with everything under your real name?
