Why read it if you don't actually care about the story?

Some people, including me, are pissed that the story was left on a huge cliffhanger and some are mad about the misrepresentation of DID and etc. To say this is invalid only due to it being "negative" is laughable

I don't know how to describe it so u can get what I mean but I'll try. First, this is a fictional work. Second, its story may depend on the DID psychology but it doesn't have to represent it 100% true, it's not a medical manga IT'S YAOI. Third, of course there's a cliffhanger, how many mangas have u read and had a huge cliffhanger and u can't wait to read the next chapter, the mangaka wants to sell so of course the second volume will be eagerly waited by alot. Forth, in the mangaka's notes she said she tried her best to research and this story is the outcome of her effort so I just want people to appreciate her works and the effort of the translator to explain everything with POSITIVE COMMENTS.
Complaining about the story being confusing or whatever is fine but it's negative when you see all they do is complain! where's your sense of appreciation? What's laughing is whining like oh this is confusing, this is not good representation or noooo not a cliffhanger. JUST ENJOY THE MANGA.

Like I'm all for fiction being fiction but for some groups all the representation they get is negative or badly done. I think this story is pretty fun but simply saying it's bad representation doesn't mean the whole thing is bad. Saying negative things about a story doesn't mean people don't appreciate the finer things about it, it just means they don't like something about the story. A story can be enjoyable and be flawed at the same time. Think fo this comment section as Twitter: people post half their thoughts and it's mostly negative. Going out of your way to shame those who have a valid criticism of the story as simply being negative because they don't explicitly acknowledge the efforts put into etc, is laughable.

Also effort does not automatically equal quality.

What is this about quality? Are we here to evaluate mangas or to read and enjoy them?
I said it once and I will say it again complaining or "criticizing" is fine but we should also say some positive stuff.
I don't read a manga to criticize its contents, but whoever do that I say you should praise the effort, bad quality doesn't eliminate effort.
When you say a negative comment, it doesn't appreciate the finer things if you don't say it, like yeah the story confused me but I liked it or its art was great or anything to actually appreciate in the whole thing.
But everyone does not show a single sign of that, and that's what I'm talking about.
Like you mentioned that the story was fun in your comment, and still though something is missing, that's an acceptable opinion.
And you say I see a valid criticism as negative but I say I don't see anything valid in what others comment in here but that's ok I just express my thoughts about this comment section and if you have your opinion about my point being wrong you can think that however you want. In general what you said is not wrong but also what I said is not wrong, expressing your opinion about something should always have balance to become valid.

I didn't say that you view valid criticism as negative. Venting is obviously not constructive criticism. Some people read this for fun and vent in the comments. It's that simple. Some people read manga to criticize them like movies, books, etc.

Also I don't understand how you thought this comment wouldn't have a backlash after you lumped a giant group of people together and called them bitches. Also saying there is "no point to criticize" {any point of the manga, art, story, format} is blatantly immature and dismissive.

Also quality is important to most people when reading or watching anything. Hence why mostly only children/immature adults enjoy the minions movies, etc. I will say it again- EFFORT/=/QUALITY

A good example of this is johsua and the promiseland. Look it up on YouTube. The creator worked tirelessly on it for 6 ish years. It is absolute garbage.

Oh god you can't just shut up and agree with peace? I have no energy to replay to all this,
If you want to disagree go ahead as much as you want
And the word "bitches" didn't mean it as an insult to anyone and if you felt offended, well sorry for you. I just said and explained my point as much as I can, and what u said doesn't change it

Why can't you just admit that you are wrong? It's so easy and I refuted almost all your points in your original comment and replies. You are just annoyed because you have no more evidence to support your opinion. Have a great rest of your day

yeah I just finished it and it's good

I actually searched it and the most number man can come is 16 times, so 56 is a huge number I'd like to see the source of that information
But the topic I read said it's possible if you have the stamina, but in my opinion it's still impossible
