axima's manga / #Drama(356)

I like that the author knows what they want to do and sticks with it but I can't in good faith recommend this to anyone. Too tame for real yandere fans but too toxic for anyone with healthy tastes. At least the story never meanders even if the pacing is a bit messy, and the characters are surprisingly interesting. Towards the end it feels like they started running out of time but decided to commit to all their ideas so we speedrun a few plot threads.

It's alright but the pacing is rushed, making some parts feel incomplete. They could do a whole arc out of some of the roles he does with a larger B plot on his personal life issues but instead each concept gets like 3 chapters to set up, develop, and end.

Ok let me get this straight, the ML we're meant to root for has traumatized a child that depended on him, is a groomer, and also has a penchant for sexual assault. Lovely. The good ending here would be MC running far away from this guy.

Still early but looking fun. I like the characters and MC's personality. Hoping the magic system will be good.

MC is unique in his willingness to stoop kinda low to get what he wants and he's got the wit and guts to back it up. Unfortunately, the longer it goes on the less relevant he becomes and the characters they choose to focus on are bad. They have actual good characters, why are you emphasizing the least interesting ones? The resolution to the arcs has gone downhill too, last villain basically disappeared in one chapter with no real conclusion.

I want to rate it highly but the ML is an asshole and MC being as weak as he is having to suck up to him and the others is extremely frustrating. I'm hoping to see it improve when they develop on things like Jaehee being a regressor and hopefully using knowledge of the game in some way.
