In a novel about a 200 IQ reincarnator, MC does way too much retarded stuff that is depicted as "smart". Maybe not so much in the starting arks in school, but once it gets to the world of adult business... maybe the author himself is too dumb to recognize how dumb the sh** he wrote is, idk. It's ok if mc does mistakes, maybe even dumb ones, recognizing and learning from mistakes can even be a good story. But I didnt see that, more like writing dumb sh** as "smart". There was a number of things, but when a Chaotic Evil antagonist who was ok with hurting/killing/abducting/torturing anyone for money, got defeated and recruited into a role of trusted bodyguard (!!!) by this 200 IQ MC, I couldn't take it anymore. I don't even want to find out what it will lead to. Although in a logical world or a well written novel doing this is a way to win the Darwin's Prize, but in this one it will likely be a smart "winning move". And that is exactly the problem.
