Review Detail of cvu1706 in Steampunk Apocalypse!

I got to chapter 4 and now I am dropping the novel. There are two things that majorly disappoint me in this novel. 1. The MC. From the synopsis I expected an intelligent MC. One that solves his problem by outthinking his problem/enemy or by using his inventions. Until chapter 4, one can see how the MC deals with his bullies, the monster that attacked him and his bully that appeared in school. That way is by stupidly rushing headstrong into them and by the way losing. 2. No reaction. With no reaction I mean that all you get are sequences of events one after the other. You never get to see the MC properly reacting to any event. If there is, it is an unimpressionable sentence or two. The consequence is that as a reader you don't care about any event and any character and character relationship. How can one even care. Once one event is over, another event immediately happens. For example: Him waking up after fainting at the destruction of his town. You only see him reacting to his lost arm. That's it. He was not devastated that the town he has spent his whole live in is gone. His home is gone. His possessions and money are gone, etc. No sadness, no tears. No reaction to such a tragic event. You see nothing. The hunter signing happens and then he is already on the vehicle to the new town. Another problem is his relationship with his father. You can see that his father is important to him, because he is signing to the hunters because of his father. However why has his father not appeared again? I was waiting the whole time for his father to appear and them having a heart to heart talk. Nothing. If he can pardon his father as an esper, why is he not requesting to speak with his father? The last time he saw him was at a freaking town massacre. His father could be injured, etc. Why is he not worried or wanting to speak to him, if he is so important?
