REVIEW: No plot spoilers tho. Just the general writing is what I am commenting on.
Sadly this falls short on all fronts for me. Writing, plot, characters and art. Tho the writing is my biggest issue.
Somehow the writing feels very undetailed, rushed and somewhat towards the category of 'rough plot turned into a comic without fine-tuning it more'. Kinda like a rough checklist of plotpoints was made and then someone just turned it into a comic as is.
The characters feel not well introduced (personality, likes, dislikes, etc. - the person, you know) and there's a big lack of connection towards them all, which might be due to the comic not taking time to slowly introduce them and explain the surroundings but instead jump right into one happening after another, which are also not really portrayed in detail. It's like there's a lack of connect to right about anything for me.
It's all in all a bit too bland and lacking for me personally. The writing just isn't detailed enough for me to like it and I quickly found myself just flipping the pages without really caring for anything that happened or was said. This might be due to the comic trying to be more focused on polictics and intrigue and such, but it just doesn't manage to portray it in interesting ways and detail to make me curious about it all.
The art is okay, but the expressions are sometimes off too and cannot convey serious moments well I feel.
I think this is a good read for beginners/younger readers but it's likely not for the experienced readers who already know quite a bit about detailed, top-tier writing.
Kinda like watching a kids movie as a teen being an awesome experience but after you rewatch it when you're an adult you notice the flaws in writing and the lacking parts.
If this has a novel, I'd suggest giving that a try because that might be better in terms of writing.
This is not terrible (just not good to me and the writing I'm used to) so give it a try yourself and see if you mind the issues less and can enjoy reading it, just be warned it's not a tripple A comic, is what I'm saying.
