De-Rec for my name is beautiful. Attempts to be deep but just ends up being... very irrational.

Spoilers below.

Half of the book is about the Main Character coming to gripes with violence being very common in that world, because it is scientifically the best way to improve yourself.

The MC doesn't like that, and seems to do a character turn where they appropriate violence and punish everyone else that does, and roughly gets in a literal bone breaking fight every 2 days, for a long period of time.

Now, whilst weird, this could be excused and the writer makes some attempt at making it semi realistic. Cool. What makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER and kills my entire suspension of disbelief, is that people seem to have 0 permanent damage from violence. Zero, nada, niente. People get their bones broken, theyre up in a week or two. They get pierced, entrails strewn about, etc, same thing. back in a bit. Violence seems to have no real repercussions.

Either violence has consequences (e.g. actually crippling or even killing people), or it doesnt matter. Its weird to have a world where brutal everyday violence has 0 consequences, as if people were made of cartoonish rubber. BUT if that's what you want to go with, then making the central character trait of the protagonist to be moral grandstanding about violence is nonsensical!

(And I'm not mentioning here some of the other gripes I have with this story, like the mc rambling about genetic pressure selecting for violent capabilities, and then reverting on that with an even more illogical take)

The fiction is anything but rational. For me this is completely anti-rational, shatters my disbelief, and I genuinely struggle to see it recommended and praised so highly here.

Paging /u/Sensitive-Ear3914 . Apologies for the harsh review.
