You are so right. This story is like fast food. Everything is designed to advance as soon as possible and in a straight forward manner. I could never get fully invested in the story because things would resolved before I could truly care or ruminate. Plus the power creep was insane. Why are we fighting level 10s by chap 20??? They're already facing boss level threats by the end of the season so what does that leave for next season?
Which is a damn shame because the characters are endearing and the designs are fantastic. As it stands the story is being carried by its gorgeous art, hot characters, and maru fanatics. But there's a lot of potential here so I'll tune in for season 2. Hopefully the author tightens up their story telling in the meantime.
The artist absolutely smash at drawing bl, josei, or one of those guide verse stories. People would eat that up (I'm people).
You are so right. The power scaling is way too fast and I wish the plot had time to breath. The backgrounds of team members are revealed and resolved in 2 chapter… it’s such a shame because I see real brilliance at times. This is my second read through and it’s super apparent now.
Nailed it and I would devour a BL by the artist. For breakfast, lunch and dinner.
the pacing is dog shit. theres no mystery or tension. everything is resolved in the next chapter. its revealed that the mc's father forced him to fight the devour nachal and none of his teammates give a fuck??? lmaoo. they don't even acknowledge how fucked up that is and just move on. this story would be so good if it just took its time. why tf am I even learning about the truth about the devour nachal rn. why can't I learn about it later in a big battle reveal? even the action feels fast. each nachal power the MC acquires should feel significant so we can understand the weight of his power and and the potential risk he might face and what it means for the story going forward. instead I never feel like he'll ever lose a fight. every time he gets hurt ik he'll win and get a new power. where's the conflict? it feels like instead of making this into multiple fleshed out arcs the author is trying to race to the finish line. there is one caveat and that is that the art is absolutely gorgeous very beautiful characters and designs. its a shame
