Are you kidding me?? Is this plagiarism?
I'm so mad. This COULD have been really good if more creativity and a few more edits were involved. It has aspects that I really like, such as the romance and the main characters constantly getting injured and taking care of each other.
BUT...
You can't just steal characters from other works! Seriously. One specific example is the main character's home group of friends. The writer didn't even bother coming up with unique character. They just stole the characters from "Big Bang Theory," personalities and everything. They barely changed the names: Sherman instead of Sheldon, Lao instead of Leonard, Nickel instead of Penny, Andy instead of Amy, Hewie instead of Howard, Bernadita instead of Bernadette, Ravi instead of Raj. They changed just a few physical description details, of course, but seriously?! Oh, and the other main character's two cousins/best friends are Shylock and Weston, based off of Sherlock and Watson (but specifically the modern tv show version).
Was this written by AI or a 3-year-old?
Also, there have been several times where a concept or character was introduced but then later introduced again as if it was brand new. It's as of the story was written out of order, but the author never bothered to go back and make it make sense.
It's so sad. This book was so close to actually being good.
