Read up to Chapter 137. It was pretty good at the start, but at this point the MC is just too inconsistent and never seems to learn his lesson. Sadly it is also related to the romance which, at the start, seemed to be one which would be good and beneficial to both, but turns out not to be the case.

We are told he has an IQ of 168 and has/had access to a supercomputer within his cryo pod thing which had tons of knowledge on it. His access to that is in a hidden place as well. Yet he rushes to get adopted straight away at the start rather than spending more time learning things. We are told he will only be sent away from the orphanage to the mines at 13, yet he is 8 at the beginning (although he looks 11). Either way he has plenty of time to research. Instead the only time we see him go to research, he reads a few things then takes the chip with him and never returns until much later when his cryo pod has likely been discovered and taken away. Thus he hasn't read up on anymore knowledge at all.

Also, not as big an issue, but his knowledge is weirdly patchy. He makes a Spider-Man reference and knows about gunpowder and stuff, yet he doesn't seem to know anything about zombies or Undead. He has to observe and deduct to realise that he must target their head, that they have no preservation instinct etc. Obviously they are not typical zombies, but the fact that he doesn't even know of these basic things is kinda weird. Surely they are prevalent enough that a kid with 168 IQ and who regularly mentions memories of his father talking about science and religion and how his sister went to Harvard at 12, would at least be somewhat aware of zombies?

The main issue, however, is how often he has to learn the same lesson and how weak his resolve turns out to be.



Each time he said or thought something along the lines of how personal power and strength was the most important thing etc. Yet he abandons that all so easily as soon as he falls in love.

At the start their romance seemed positive - they encouraged each other. She had the goal of being a judge and him with becoming a strong enough hunter that no one would be able to mess with him, like in all those examples above. Initially he also took part in the magistrate exam, but only as a way to increase his status from a civilian within the wall.

Yet after a 1 year time skip, suddenly he doesn't care at all about any of his training or plans or anything. He just wants to get married to the girl and give up on getting stronger or smarter. Whereas before she was happy about him wanting to still be a hunter and go outside the wall, now suddenly she doesn't want that and is happy when he says that he will give up being a hunter. Yet despite all that, her father who previously disagreed with the marriage, suddenly says he will agree on the condition that MC goes through with a mission as a Hunter outside the wall, which she is fine with and happy for him to do...

It's pretty clear that the father has planned something which will get the MC back on his path again, but the fact that this type of thing happened again is too much imo.

This sort of exemplifies why people don't like romance in these types of novels tbh. Either they are pointless/don't make sense, or they serve to weaken/shackle the MC down. There are very few where they are written well and serve to strengthen the story as a whole.

At this point the MC should be more than strong enough in his convictions to not basically give up everything after a year of "romance." He may only be 14, but he has killed tons of monsters and quite a lot of people and he has suffered massively at the hands of those stronger than him physically (both human and monster) and socially. The fact that all this resolve gets brushed away within a year is really shitty regardless of how it happened. He should be smart enough to realise that without power, there is no way he can protect this romance.
