It is now very clear that Pirateaba can't write believable smart characters. As soon as the story actually focuses on any character that has been described as smart, it becomes impossible to believe this description of them. Multiple supposed geniuses being shown to have comprehension skills of five-year-olds....

Wasting massive amounts of time on side characters.

Leaning even more into making supposedly smart characters acting exceptionally stupid without that in any way counting against them counting as smart to everyone else.
