Quick Review: Writing issues, overused tropes

ReviewRaptor April 13, 2025 2:39 pm

The writing of this feels really off.
I could forgive the very obnoxious back and forth from past to present and rinse and repeat, over and over and OVER (without getting to the point in a good manner), but even that becomes unforgivable since it drags on for so long.
What bothers me most is the absolute misuse of that AND the miscommunication trope tho. As well as the character behavior: Both of them come across like acting to create a specific moment rather than a moment happening due to them behaving as the person they are. If that makes sense? It feels forced, shoe-horned and random at times even. As if the script didn't think through how to get to the next happening, but we had to get there, so we'll just force it within moments.

Both the MC and the ML have personalities that seem bland, again, as if their behavior is rooted in creating the next happening rather than a flowing and cohesive personality.

It's just strange. Tho the back and forth without getting anywhere and the annoying misunderstandings really does not help get a real feel for their actual perosnality.

It's an interesting story at the core, but the execution is anything but good. And I am certainly not a fan of the main plot basically being miscommunication/misunderstandings galore in and of itself, everything around is basically just a garnish.

Not really my thing due to these issues just overstaying their welcome WAY too much. But maybe you can enjoy it.
The art is decent, tho I noticed the artist has an issue with not being able to portray some expressions. But i know people can forgive that easily.

Check it out, give it a try. It's too annoying for my taste, but maybe you won't mind.
