ReviewRaptor's manga / #Interesting(424)

While the plot is interesting, again, like so often: The execution is very lacking. It's incredibly rushed, it skips scenes that are important and immerse the reader or just bring the characters alive, just so it can quickly go to the screwing around scenes. Good for jack-off material maybe, but this is clearly not trying to be smut but a fully fleshed out story...which it falls short on in every way. The art is decent and the plot interesting, but I'll probably only skim through pages to enjoy the art. It's not worth reading actively, so to speak. As sad as that is. :/

The plot is interesting, but sadly, very sadly, the execution is terribly rushed and jumbles all over the place. Scenes are terribly cut up and pieced together in the same annoying way over and over again (which wouldn't be bad if you did it once or twice but it's basically 99% of the time a conversation gets interesting, things skip time and when the info of the convo is then needed, we see a 'flashback' of the part of the convo that we were previously deprived of...you can do that once or twice to make things mysterious, but...not in every conversation or every second one...it's obnoxious and doesn't add anything good to the story). The pacing is incredibly rushed. Many key details, about the characters, the plot, the plot devices and more are just skipped entirely. It's like someone drew a comic based on a re-telling/rough summary of a story and treated said re-telling like a manuscript...which is NOT how you make a good story, btw. Also, the grammar really, REALLY needs to be checked. Or rather, i think people translated this literally instead of understanding the story, because many sentences are vague despite having a need for a certain clarity, some sentences or words are out of place (which is easy to tell in certain moments) and all in all the translations being a bit like too literally taken Google translations...it makes it less interesting to read. Simply because you always have to wonder "What exactly does that even mean?" or "Is that REALLY what the character said??". It takes the fun out of things quickly. :( The art is nice and the story interesting, but I find myself less interested in the story the more these issues keep going...and I don't think they will ever end tbh.
