lowkey getting really annoyed because the mc has memory loss and he's "rediscovering" his intellect but, that's just some basicass repeat of early high school science where he's talking about physics formulas and how lab equipment works?? get me out. i get the author wants to start from the basics but, this is really tedious to read.

I think the author did that so that everyone can read and understand it even for those who have no science knowledge at all. I'm sure it will get more complex later on.

okay, bro. we know this. just say you're using a fucking x-ray spectrometer and if we need to, we will search the term up??? and you're explaining every single thing??? the oversimplification of everything is frying me.
