Ratio would be more narratively interesting, and less like this satirical Danganronpa Ultimate if he had made some kind of secret deal with Nous after being rejected from the genius society. Throwing himself destructively into being a vessel for the god due to the crushing shame of unrealized ambitions? Consider.

HSR truly doesn't know how to write him — is he supposed to be absurd with his 8 PhDs in the context of absurd world building OR are we as the audience falling into this trap by not thinking "Occam's razor, it's not possible for someone even in this worldbuilding context to have 8 PhDs at this age without being a fraud, a demigod (*still possible) or pulling strings"

We still don't know what the deal is with him and Amphoreus, so I guess it remains to be seen. He should have context beyond being inherently amusing because it's genuinely dull. HSR loves their nonsensical Gary Stu characters and while it can work if one leans into it, it feels like they're straddling a midpoint with his writing. The duality of self-devaluing comments from himself (admittedly common for successful mathematicians in published writings — e.g. G.H. Hardy, or Silvanus P. Thompson's constant calling of himself and everyone else "FOOL") juxtaposed next to the lore taking the piss out of his achievements creates this uncanny and unbalanced tone.

It's not deep. I know he was made to make people wank off, spend money, and play the game more often (he literally wears a harness) but that's also not the point. Can you people competently write someone interesting for once? He has a lot of interesting potential to be a real savant in one or two areas, sure, or even just plainly a genius but still with a non deus ex machina solution to his struggles?

It's not just lazy, it's boring, and I think he suffers as a character because of it. Maybe he's satisfying enough to people by toeing the line between parody and genuine, but I think evidently most of his success comes from his visual gimmicks, and dynamic with Aventurine.

Someone confiscate this man's 7 other PhDs or at least give him a really interesting narrative reason for how he even has them. Please. Or don't, whatever, leave the endless fountain of "compelling mediocrity" alone

You know the author of a mystical text was just pulling shit out of their ass when they claim that their source was some mysterious person who just so happened to never write or speak to anyone else, never published their own material, and no one else in their community (assuming said community even exists) ever said or did anything to corroborate that anything in the text was actually believed or practiced by people in said community.
