- Honestly, for science fiction it actually is well researched and presents as half-plausible quite often. Though 'the system' and occasional gadgets are sci-fantasy, most of the MCs research efforts are rooted in logical progression based on science/math. Obviously many 'discoveries'/conclusions are conveniently forced, but 'A for effort' for most of the 'getting you halfway there'- better than simply solving via 'Unobtainium has the needed magical properties!' (which it does as well- but goes the long route by way of chapters with theory/repeated experiment/discovery).
- Non-relationship plotting is good. Male relationships are mostly reasonable/plausible/interesting. Female relationships are mostly bordering on 'characters as prop' wish fulfillment with a lot of flakiness and a bit of 'overshadowed by (but the result of) the MC's success.
- Occasional quirky, interesting events/characters
The BAD:-
- Strongly Nationalist, pro-China, pro-government slant.
- Couple this with 'Gary Stu adventure', and the author drags China into his 'dreaming out loud' story, attempting to make China 'the center of world attention' and 'cutting edge of technology'... which turns out to be an unfortunate reminder that it isn't.
- Also 'success via cheating/ridiculous advantage' is a sad extreme to have to resort to in order to get there.
- 'I invented that' taken to the most ludicrous extreme. MC solely advances 'all the tech' by himself (in most cases- with minimal help in others). Fairly ridiculous even with his 'cheat'.
- MC is 'yet another' inconsiderate, self involved (actually narcissistic) Gary Stu that everyone likes despite his usually selfish behavior (except when the author can remember to make him nice/caring- it's a weird mix). Sometimes the setups by the author are 'this all happens despite the MC being a prat' or 'MC is intentionally/accidentally being manipulative', etc.-- and feels like he's half-trolling the readers. More than a few of his 'friends' suffer due to his clueless self-obsessed ignorance, and it almost comes across as the author being proud of the MCs ability to negatively impact these poor, lesser idiots as he walks around thinking he's handsome...
- Plot very forced. Few surprises.

- MC 'humble brags' a LOT- if you think you've gone a long period without hearing one, the author fills in through the narrative to make sure you know how his fictional character is quietly awesome as well...

- MC makes promises, his 'near-perfect memory' still forgets those related to women.
- Author drops a few plot lines more or less randomly- you just suddenly realize there's no update on some situation anymore.
- As a piece of 'historic fiction' it takes gratuitous liberties with characters and events. Many real people have their personalities... tinkered with for plot purposes- the most well-known of which is Trump, who is portrayed as... 'more clever' than he actually is. American news outlets are slighted as intentional 'anti-China propaganda machines', and actual historic events are re-imagined to suit the author's needs.

- Author (or translator) uses the word 'nutty' a lot- no idea if this is a thing in China or not, but it's used as if it both 'is' and 'always will be' trendy...
- Dialog can be somewhat hard to follow at times, with the author having a character say a thing, then going a few paragraphs of narrative/exposition before getting to a response. By then you're like 'what was this referring to?' as you scroll back up to see the original statement...
- The fact that the author thinks no one would ever suggest that he act more diplomatically in public- or even write/correct speeches/behavior for him (such as not to embarrass the nation) is pretty obtuse. The level of s*upid he shows when people put makeup on him is sad.

The Different:Author writes in an event to give MC an enhanced body. This will only be used several times in the next 900+ chapters so the MC can show off his now-high drinking tolerance.
All the girls like the MC and he can't be bothered with any of them. Author spends too much time setting a half dozen or so 'eligible bachelorettes' up for years of disappointment- to no avail, it might as well be trolling romantics & 'shippers'.
Girls mostly end up working for him somehow- and even the woman who becomes a CEO on her own merit only manages to 'do her job' (at his generosity)...
Everyone reminds him constantly to start a relationship/have kids- which he casually blows off, as he has zero interest. Worst thing is the author 'pretends' to be in sync with the idea, while hypocritically authoring him to act otherwise. Actually the author does this 'make him do things, while apologizing for it elsewhere' type bs in a few places.
MC is 'hetero-asexual' in some convenient, fictional way. Somewhere after ch 800 it is mentioned in passing that he had crushes and pictures of them- which is almost like a 'I have a girlfriend- but she's in Canada' response to criticism about the MC having zero interest in women/zero s*x drive.
Author's trolling of readers regarding the MC developing a relationship is s*upid, and wastes a surprising amount of time going nowhere.
(NASA's Ares program started in 2009 with the possible intent to go to mars (not a decade later- supposedly as a one-up response to China's intent to revisit the moon)). The Huawei exec he talks to is named after the combined last names of two of the actual execs. Crap like that.
Gets formulaic towards end with a basic cycle of 'quest, solve, implement, profit, get award' as the cycle (with a step or two missing per iteration). 'Make powerful connection', 'be revered', or 'humble brag' can happen at anytime & sometimes many times per cycle. The only thing 'new' is (finally) slightly learning about 'the system' (because the author finally decided- not how different the 'reveal' is compared to the tone of the initial missions).

- For math/science geeks, this should prove to be at least a balance of promise and disappointment. Lots of good stuff. A fair amount of omission/irritation.
Overall, I've tuned out the silly stuff, and am enjoying the rest. There's a lot you don't typically see in novels that gets touched on here, so it's worth taking a glance at. If you can look past the author's nationalistic bias, and tune out the faux harem and the magical, half-nonsense system- the rest is actually interesting. It's nothing special/exceptional- BUT it is unique. The author's knowledge of science & math is quite extensive- so if nothing else, it's more credible than many Star Trek episodes when it comes to 'scientific possibilities'. I like it, but I hate all the 'extra' that comes with it.tldr: I hate the typical trope in cn novel where MC decided to leave everything behind to advance to the next realm
Spoiler alert again!
In mars, "an alien" gave MC 2 choices.
1. Go back to earth and progress according to the current state.
2. Leave everything behind, and "jump" to the unknown future + MC will be given some legacy.
Well, eventually he choose the latter. Actually he didn't know how much time will pass after the "jump". Because he choose to "jump", the outside world declared that he went missing, and eventually declared dead..
Long story short he went to the next century, that is year 2125. Everything he know is gone. His parent, his sister, his company, his friends, and his fiancee. Everything..
I hate the fact that, before he went to mars, MC promised to his fiancee that they will get married after he came back to earth, But eventually that stay as an unfulfilled promise.
And how his company, his legacy fell apart after "bad management".
And how he learned that his closest student failed to become a great mathematician.
And lastly a quote from our MC, "I always thought that feelings are the burden of rationality."
Overall, I think trying to focus on accurate calculations and a scientific topic is not bad at all. Problems begin where everything should be good, as conceived by the author. If you are too smart, for example, with a higher education, and accidentally these are the exact sciences, then your eyes will start to twitch from what you read and very soon you will burn the chair you are sitting on. If you are dumb, then you will get incredibly bored. These two categories of people give 1-2 points to this work. They can be understood. The average person for whom this was written is exactly all people with a score of 4-5. Of course, there are exceptions, but in large numbers, I think it will be so.
I also understand that no one has canceled global problems, but nationalism prevails over common sense and this line runs along the entire narrative, which makes reading terribly difficult. The hero contradicts his own words. It's not even about justice, but about the approach. The author stubbornly does not notice that when he shows us how bad the USA is, in the end he punishes everyone. It's just that they don't write about others, and they don't seem to exist, it's funny logic.
In general, if you search, then any category of reader will find both pluses and minuses. For me there are more minuses than pluses. And I try to give an assessment not for effort, but for the result. As a result, for diligence ~4 (experts will understand why not ~5), result ~2. Total: ~3 points.
UPD-1
I read 15 more chapters and finally figured out where the problem is! At least the problem that bothered me. Why does this hero not look real and what is wrong with his attitude. He does not make mistakes, literally not one, and his reaction to achievements is not the same as a person who has put all his efforts into his work should be! Every scientist makes a million mistakes in the process of his research, both theoretical and practical, it is this that determines the final result, everything will go to dust or there will be success, or at least a satisfactory result. And here none of this is just a robot, he is not a living character, just a dead fish.. As I had not noticed before? * (
- this novel is based on research, so everything happens in this novel can be explained with science. And a lot of them makes sense
- this novel doesn't contain a lot of racism even though it's written by Chinese. So you don't have to worry about it
- Even though sometimes it's hard to understand the chapter (because it contains a lot of unfamiliar words) but you can Google them
- the characters' development are pretty satisfying
- this novel doesn't have your usual type of "young master" antagonist in here. Heck, I couldn't even find the antagonist in here. Even though you will find some unfriendly characters, but all of them have reasonable reasons to hate MC.
