I am fired up about defeating death. (I also literally jumped to the edge of my seat in chapters 44 and 45.)
I rolled my eyes in 45 mostly when I reread it with 46 already in mind. I could see where Harry was inserting drama to set up a soap box for the future preaching. It soured the experience for me.
It did have a "making the point with a sledgehammer" feel, although it's worth noting that Eliezer's not just preaching to the choir: MoR's intended audience has probably never had transhumanism/positive immortality expounded to them seriously before.
