ReviewRaptor's manga / #NOT INTERESTED(282)

The characters behave random sometimes, the storytelling is rushed and lacks detail when needed and the overall vibes this gives is 'halfassed'. The dude supposedly looks like another dude, but even the girl that had a cruch on said other dude doesn't even mention it. The mYsTeRiOuS secret can be seen from a mile away and the characters are just too bland to make this interesting. Neither the story nor the chars are interesting tbh. The story itself is one of the most bland and boring plots I've seen in ages. Even the most cliche and predictable shoujo highschool romance has more oomph to it. WTF.

REVIEW TIME! TL;DR at the end for anyone alergic to more than two sentences. The Good: - The plot might be basic but it's still interesting. It's kept very casual and doesn't want to be some grand, epic story that is filled with big happenings at every corner. The Bad: - The writing is HORRIBLY rushed. The author jumped all intricate details, which makes me thing whoever converted this into a comic doesn't have enough insight in storytelling and hence just left anything out that makes a story intricate and immersive. Which is likely also why the Duke so seemingly randomly and from one moment to the other just BAM falls for the MC. This is not good storytelling tbh. Much too rushed and it makes me loose interest despite the story and characters being nice. - ALSO; THE UPLOADING. Please, PLEASE stop rushing and check if pages are uploaded in order or twice behind one another or even entirely jumbled. The Ugly: - The translation....REALLY needs an overhaul. Nothing is consistent. One moment grammar is perfect and in the next speech bubble it's bad Google Translator shennanigans. Please, for the love of anything ever holy, at least try to check for grammar mistakes and keep names consistent (how tf did Duke Sussex turn into Mr Sechs Kies!?!?!). It's like people don't even want to string together chapters and just half-heartedly throw the raws into google translate and then call it a day and pat themselves on the shoulder. Please put in some effort, and if you lack some stuff it takes to translate things: Just leave it to other people. Because bad translations are often just left laying around instead of being replaced with good ones and that just makes people turn away from a story that's now too much of a chore to read. TL;DR: My overall judgement is: It's nice but I find it unreadable due to the messy pages, bad translations and rushed writing. I'll half-abandon this and only flip through pages from now on to see how it continues for a while, but I'll never recommend this due to all the issues.

The plot basically boils down to: Man is at fault for woman not opening her fvcking mouth and saying wtf is bothering her. This is SO fvcking annoying, I swear. This is the type of female logic people need to abandon and men need to run away from. Even if the guy makes mistakes, he's NOT a mindreader. You can't blame him for you not telling what's up. FFS this is obnoxious. Hard drop, no recommend.

I seriously TRIED, but the friend is so utterly obnoxious. The entire arc with her feels shoehorned in there and it doesn't feel well written in many ways. It's like the friend's drama got shoehorned in and became a distraction the author focused on instead of the actual plot. It's really not enjoyable to read. The MC is nice and all and so is the love interest, but there's too many other issues for me to keep reading. It feels rushed and at the same time like it drags, which is just unpleasant. I'm also really not a fan of these mixed timeline stories (which doesn't even make sense since all the modern aspects are just rails, ipads and megaphones....was a modern theme implementation REALLY needed just to add those background aspects?). It's just weird. To each their own. I wish anyone who likes it happy reading, but I'm gonna drop this at chapter 16 since it became a chore to read instead of being interesting.
