Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Arakawa Kouki is reincarnated to a Japan with a different history than the Japan he knows with the memories of his previous life still intact. Kouki was discouraged, “Aren’t reincarnation stories supposed to be at some fantasy world filled with swords, magic and elves?!”
But one day, his random scribbles leads (his mom) to the discovery of a certain formula, which as a result, leads him to be mistaken as a genius by the entire world.
For that achievement he is sent to the school of prodigies, the State Technology Academy, where he meets the Canadian girl, Alice, and the robot engineering genius, Shingo. And even at such a place, he is still mistaken as a genius?! Every time Kouki shows his knowledge from his previous life, he is mistaken as a genius, and everywhere he goes irregularity follows.
This is the comedic life of a genius reincarnation loaded with misunderstandings.

The MC is being sent to a school for the sake of converting him into becoming a moral and upstanding member of society. Nobody's even done a psych eval on him.
The MC makes a doodle. We are never told about the contents of his doodle, yet it somehow inspires his mother to make a breakthrough in the field of quantum physics. Yet he only has a basic comprehension of high-school level mathematics. I've learned linear differential equations and I'm still lacking a solid enough foundation to even approach the math behind quantum physics.
The MC doesn't believe himself to be particularly smart, yet he invents an "anti-cancer medical pod." The takeaway lesson from this isn't that the MC is dense; it is that the author also grossly misunderstands cancer. The MC also improves tanks, power suits, and missiles beyond the cutting edge level.
Okay, so maybe he's normal and everyone else is just an idiot, right? Nope, because this new world apparently has a greater level of scientific progress--it puts man on the moon two decades earlier.
The mother is as blind as a bat when it comes to the political arena. If the UN council wanted to "dispose" of her son, they would first ensure that any potential opponents would have as much success at resisting as a paraplegic up against a pack of wolves. At the very least, her husband, and all his loyal followers, would be dead.
The husband's troops are explicitly noted to be primarily composed of women. That's downright depressing.
I expect future chapters to be even more depressing.
He did mention that he doesn't remember his past life's family, his name or the like, just that he was basically having a breakdown and crying to his boss, BEGGING for a vacation. he died, and he was waiting for what was happening to him, he was thinking about what he knows such as 1+1=2 and what he thought was probably upper level high school math. How his English wasn't so good but he spoke Russian well. Small joke from early prologue? He felt his lover was being in a PC... and he thought to himself his memories must be jumbled. I'm going out on a limb for no reason and say, I wonder if it was an AI? He did say he thinks he might have been a researcher
The misunderstandings seem to start at chapter 2, and everything spirals out of control from there. He was age 4. He found what he thought was a numerical quiz and he just... solved it! as if it was some sort of Sudoku puzzle. He decided to make his own, and half way through his mother finds him and what he did was apparently a scientific breakthrough... the protagonist himself had no idea and thought it was just like a puzzle, turns out it was quantum physics!
I think the craziest thing he has done is when he tried to make an herbicide to kill weeds, he even tried to follow a guide on how to make an easy herbicide! But he accidentally made something that instead killed all the grass in hours (seriously how do you mess up that bad?)... he thought it was just the local gardeners that showed up, but it was actually special forces posing as gardeners... They were terrified and said its potency was enough to kill a person in seconds, he thought it was just a mistake from trying to make a weed killer. They thought of him as a person who would unleash that terrifying biological weapon just because he didn't like the weeds!
Later on in that same chapter he learned from his mistake... and decides to use a power suit he built with his mom to pull weeds, he thought it was just a normal house powered suit (yes that is what they are calling them) that was available to the public. He was being observed by one of his dad's secret agent co-workers to make sure he doesn't go out of control (this started after that herbicide incident... That agent's interpretation was that he was doing a power on test for, and what was apparently a 6th generation military grade powered armor, which can destroy tanks like they were made of paper. When he saw a weird looking bird, guess who happened to be in an optical camouflage between the bird and him? That special forces girl said she thought she was going to die, and that he saw her despite being in optical camo, her imagination just went wild!
They do a more concise list of the things he has done in chapter 5.
For those wondering why I think his girlfriend may have been AI, he solved a quantum physics theory, AI movies I see involve quantum physics... he thought of himself as a researcher and was great at math apparently... could it be? Granted I am making plenty of assumptions here and on tropes from movies
It may be a big spoilers
-Alice will immediately confessed to the MC in early chapter
-Contact with intelligent being (girl) in space.
-Traveling in world of sword and magic not just the MC but their whole organization.
-Having a divine ancient dragon as a pet which has a high intelligence.
-Requesting reinforcement in their world from the other world. (Dragon, Arachne, Kraken)
In the beginning, I enjoyed this novel a lot. The way it was written made me think the main character was similar to Patrick from the earlier episodes of SpongeBob, acting like an idiot most of the times but when it really matters he'd say something casually that people would misunderstand and further enforce the idea of him being a genius, and it WAS like that, which made me happy but then it just went down hill. It was fun watching how others thought of him as some monster while he himself thought of himself as an ordinary child, in the beginning, it was fun watching him do s*upid things that caused others to worry about the destruction of the world but sadly all good things must end. I was first disappointed when it was found out that Aikawa started dating Saitou, it's not like I hated it but it was more like it was quite abrupt, I mean I would have been fine if we at least had some development for the both of them first but nope, we are just told Saitou saved her with the power of mechanical c*ckroaches. Then there's Alice, maybe I accidentally skipped a chapter or 5 but I don't remember Kouki doing anything to suddenly receive the love of the girl, her background also seems to be a mess but I'm blaming that on the way this story is written so I won't go into that. Finally, the thing that made me drop this novel would be when Kouki got sent to another world and brought back a dragon egg... Like seriously, a dragon's egg. I thought this was supposed to be a sci-fi / modern day type novel, why the hell would you try to incorporate fantasy?! In the end, he even ends up traveling to the other world with an organization to escape earth, which I find is just more tiring then s*upid. So in summary, the beginning it was funny then, later on, it became more confusing and tiring to read.
