HPMOR technically isn’t built to be time-efficient, the highlights of the sequences is better for that. HPMOR is meant to replace other things you do for fun like reading fun novels or TV shows or social media, and replace that with material that offers passive upskilling. In that sense, it is profoundly time-efficient, because it replaces fun time spent not upskilling at all, with fun time spent upskilling.
A very large proportion of EA-adjacent people in the bay area swear by it as a way to become more competent in a very broad and significant way, but I’m not sure how it compares with other books like Discworld which are also intended for slack/leisure time. AFAIK CEA has not even done a survey explicitly asking about the self-improvement caused by HPMOR, let alone study measuring the benefits of having different kinds of people read it.
It costs time to read it! Do you happen to know of a 10 minute summary of the key points?
