The concept of the novel is undeniably intriguing, with a promising premise that initially captures attention. However, the progression is painstakingly slow.Over the span of 300 chapters, there's little to no significant development in the characters or plot. We learn almost nothing new about the characters beyond what was established in the first 5 to 10 chapters. The mysteries surrounding key figures like CC and VV from the future, or the enigmatic Yellow Finch in the present, remain unresolved and frustratingly vague. Additionally, there's hardly any new insight into the Genius Club, despite the extensive chapter count.While the concept holds great potential, the lack of forward movement in the story makes it feel more like a chore to read, which ultimately results in a mixed rating.
