Convincing depictions of how people with very weird and evil ideology can have at least seemingly consistent worldview, be humans and not be completely insane.
Stuff that might be good for some and bad for others:
It’s Yudkowsky’s work and it feels. Some people like the style of his texts, some don’t.
Sex scenes (not very erotic and mostly talking)
Re-construction of Pathfinder game mechanics in setting
Math classes (not the best possible explanations, but not the worst either)
A lot of descriptions of “how everything works on dath ilan”
Bad stuff:
It’s isekai (it’s bad if you’re allergic to this genre)
It’s very long
And in some places it could be shorter without losing anything (but, I think, nothing as egregious as school wars in HPMOR) (but if you don’t appreciate the point about “thought processes of smart characters”, then it could be much shorter without losing anything in most places)
My opinion, very briefly:
Good stuff:
Deception plotline
Demonstration of LDT in action
A lot of thought processes of smart characters
