Zero Sum Game by S.L. Huang
3.0
Math Genius Vigilante
Although not exactly terms that would generally go together in a sentence, they surprisingly make for a fantastic character concept.
The writing of [a:SL Huang|29345359|SL Huang|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] is interesting, entertaining, and heavily focused on plot development. Rich and vibrant characters with clear motivations and behaviours are present.

Some of the sci-fi elements occasionally came across as a little wishy-washy and would present coherence inconsistencies under close examination.
The book's biggest flaw, in my opinion, is that it is very forgettable. The characters, writing, and theoretical sci-fi elements were all well done. However, the overall narrative was just okay.
