The Female Supporting Character is Obsessed with Science

My Thoughts on The Female Supporting Character is Obsessed with Science

Alright, let's dive into The Female Supporting Character is Obsessed with Science. This novel promises a blend of comedy, sci-fi, and xianxia, which is a combination that immediately piqued my interest. The premise of a female protagonist with amnesia, an eidetic memory, and a knack for science in a world with game elements? Sign me up! However, after reading, I found myself with mixed feelings.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the strong female lead. It's always refreshing to see a confident and capable protagonist, especially one who isn't afraid to use her intelligence. The early chapters set up the world and the MC's unique abilities fairly well, hinting at a potentially fascinating journey. The blend of genres definitely felt fresh.

What Works Well

The author clearly excels at creating a protagonist who is both intelligent and, thankfully, not a complete monster. The idea of her using advanced technology to fast-track her success is initially intriguing. I also appreciated the comedic elements sprinkled throughout the story; they helped to lighten the mood and keep things from getting too bogged down in the science (or lack thereof, as we'll discuss later).

Areas of Concern

However, I did find myself struggling with certain aspects of the story. The pacing felt uneven at times, with arcs feeling rushed and lacking in substantial development. I wanted more depth, more world-building, and a stronger sense of consequence. The "science" aspect also felt a bit superficial. While the MC is supposedly a genius, the explanations often felt hand-wavy and lacking in genuine scientific grounding. It felt like the author focused more on showcasing the MC's amazing abilities rather than exploring the intricacies of the science itself. The MC's occasional lapses in judgment also felt a bit jarring, especially given her supposed intellect; it created a strange dissonance that was hard to reconcile.

Final Verdict

Overall, The Female Supporting Character is Obsessed with Science is a mixed bag. While the strong female lead and the blend of genres offer initial appeal, the uneven pacing, superficial science, and occasional inconsistencies ultimately detract from the overall experience. It's a fun read if you're looking for something lighthearted and don't mind suspending your disbelief, but those seeking a more intellectually stimulating or emotionally resonant story might be left wanting more.
