I used to think like that too, but slowly i realized our own scientific processes and knowledge of the world can be rather nonsensical too, as well as biased or lacking. For example, i still see many people still stuck in a scientific method mentality in an age of quantum physics. More than half of earth remains unknown to humanity. Not to mention space.
Its amazing how much knowledge can blind us. Just because we grasped a few concepts here and there in the last few centuries, and we have easy access to these pieces of knowledge through books or the internet, as a species we suddenly started acting was if we have full grasp on how reality works, even though there's so so much that remains a mystery to us.
Since, its become much easier to suspend my disbelief when i read these kinds of stories.
I can't really disagree with that, but the issue I have is not if something makes sense. Many things are allowed not to fully makes sense in fiction, both science fiction with all the funky tech and fantasy with magic. The thing is, a lot of times something both doesn't make sense and isn't logical internally, or just somewhat makes sense but falls apart once you ask just a simple question, which is not caused by insufficient knowledge as much as plain failure to create a believable image of the world.
One example is people who don't know or don't care how something really works and try to simplify things only to end up with something stupid. I once read a LitRPG placed in space where the main character woke up with an interface connecting them to a spaceship, and that interface included, for example, hull durability in percents that improved linearly as a nanobot package was applied. I don't know what the author thought doing this, maybe thay had a good reason, but to me it's a virtual number that means absolutely nothing; it's just not possible to simplify something as complex as hull durability into a single number. Noteven considering the next thing.
Another example, this one not related to LitRPGs, a guy gets a suit that supposedly makes him superhuman. It's all fine and dandy because it does, he jumps around like a rabbit, punches holes in concrete, throws people like ragdolls. Then he encounters a night and stumbles around because apparently, whoever designed the shit, didn't have the foresight to include nightvision or thermal vision in a visor that's there either way. And, like... what the heck. Those are examples I encountered in actual stories.
The thing is, those examples aren't necessarily bad stories and they might even be fun to read, and they don't try to exaplain any of the sci-fi technology that makes up their worlds, but their internal logic just... fails. They just pretend they're something without solid foundation, and it shows if someone looks a bit more closely.
And one thing I feel I need to say. I don't want technology in a sci-fi setting to be explained or to completely make sense. I want it to make sense in
application, and that often means not trying to explain what's going on, but generally means things got to be consistent and logical internally, on the basic level.
That is what a huge amount of stories lacks, and I found it's really prevalent among the relatively popular kinds of stories like isekai, mecha, cyberpunk. The simple "since it's a futuristic story, something like this got to be a given" or "the mecha are very expensive, but they've been found to work best against the beasts" kind of logic, instead of "when monsters emerged, we decided to build huge mecha to fight them becuase apparently normal weapons don't work".
Gawd damn, I'm staying up late now. It just pisses me off.
