If people scrutinized the story 1.1-2.4 like they did at launch it would be mocked relentlessly. One of the "dramas" about the story back at launch in china was that yangyang said the vanguard only has to think about combat while the rearguard has to think about lots of different things like logistics and strategy. And people were shitting on it for disrespecting the combat troops. That's how much people were looking into every line. At some point people realized it wasn't some super deep story but rather solo leveling tier just stopped taking every little thing the story said seriously. Just learned to turn their brain off and enjoy the music and visuals.

1.3 also needs an encyclopedia. There were plenty of people not understanding what a stellar matrix is, astral modulation, necrostar, etc. Most people probably still don't desu. There were some people actually taking this shit seriously and asking why didn't Rover actually have a proper argument with tethys, how can tethys throw up a damn error when being told that emotions are necessary for civlizations? Is it retarded? This is a supercomputer. Why did they just deus ex machina a working a core for it in the epilogue? All of it was drowned out by shorewifey is wifey
