I just don't understand the setting of the world. It's such a weird mish-mash of different things the author found convenient. Robots came out of nowhere, artificial hail and rain that covers a huge area, super-genius programmer 5 year old, unrealistic hacking that makes no sense(A huge CEO is a top hacker for some reason). While it's an enjoyable trashy read, at some point it's just too hard to suspend your disbelief. It also gets tiring when everything in the story is reliant on unrealistic characters that just behave in spiteful manners for little reason. The author isn't capable of writing a plot that isn't driven by unreasonable characters. It's also like a recycled TV procedural where you can tune in for a decade of seasons of "will they, won't they" drama. That's a tired old trope that has been done way too much, and it wasn't even good to begin with. It seems like it's always only employed because the writer(s) are incapable of handling the changed relationship dynamic if they were to get together.
