Someone is following the forbidden Dao of MTL.
So I've been reading this MTL novel 'Ten days to the end' and it's about a death game with participants having to find clues given by the organisers to survive the games.
Our main character Qi Xia is a professional fraudster so he's apparently very smart and can infer a lot from the given clues at hand to understand the situation.
The problem is I usually can't relate to the thought process of these smart characters because when they unravel clues shit seems like magic to me but strangely I've been able to find the clue's before the characters understand what's going on, find the murderer before they announce themselves and even see through the anomalous stuff going on.
I'm wondering why this is happening. Is it because the author made it painfully clear what's going on or am I actually a genius?
Has anyone had this experience while reading a mystery or detective novel
The first step to be smart,
is to ponder or understand you arent smart.
PS : Also reading CNs is a shortcut to become smart, with how often they write logics/idioms/sayings to win the competition for popularity & readers
(i mean, one big example is : there are INTERNS/DOCTORS writing in their free time, doctor novels, just to get more money)
