You do you, and I also bet a lot of people read way past this and isn’t bitching about it like you
You keep saying that this manga should’ve been this, should’ve been that when the mystery isn’t the focus at all, hence the early reveal of one love eater. Another commenter said it but the reveal shows that a love eater could be an endgame, and the manga now is following what would happen if a love eater, who’s supposedly the landmine, genuinely fall in love. A lot of questions open up and is far more interesting storyline than another Quintuplet clone of crossing out the wrong heroine.

Yep and I’m allowed to complain about a braindead take. So you can’t shut me up. You are also free to move on and ignore me 😛

Lmao calling my take ‘braindead’ while at the same time trying to justify a supposed mystery story completely dropping its mystery elements to turn into a generic harem romcom is peak idiocy. Absolute chef’s kiss for that one.

First of all, how many times should I tell you mystery is not the main point. At most, it’s a minor element to keep things interesting. You are here assuming things because you are disappointed it didn’t follow your predictable storyline of being another Quintuplet clone. And just because the reveal came earlier doesn’t mean all mystery elements have been crossed off the board. Also, can you tell me which part of this is generic?

First off, how many times do I have to tell you that the manga initially sold itself as a mystery, it SHOULD have been the main point. The mystery made it interesting. And now you’re assuming it would have been a Quintuplet clone, when there were plenty of possibilities for it not to be one. And yes, all mysteries are off the board, at least the initial ones that the story started with. We already know who all the Love Eaters are and who isn’t one.

Also, how the hell isn’t this story generic? There’s literally nothing that sets it apart from the hundreds of other harem romcoms. What makes this story unique from every other harem romcom? It’s not the MC. It’s not the girls and their personalities. It’s not the setting. It’s not the story. It’s certainly not the mystery. The art is nice and the girls are cute, that’s literally the only thing this series has going.

I’m glad the mystery element hooked you, it did its job. Unlucky for you, though, because this was never meant to be another Quintuplets clone where you just cross out the wrong heroines until the “correct” one is left. That’s not an assumption, it’s literally what you’re suggesting by wanting a gradual reveal of the Love Eaters.

At least this story is doing something different by subverting expectations and focusing on the internal conflicts of the Love Eaters. How they deceive their prey and grey areas of whether a Love Eater who sees love as just a meal can actually fall in love.

You seem to be in this purely for the thrill of the mystery heroine, but people have already told you that’s not the point, nor should it be, because there are PLENTY of stories that do exactly that.

This manga still has mystery, just in a different way. It’s mellowed out because the protagonist doesn’t know who the Love Eaters are, but the readers do. The real draw is seeing how he navigates this minefield while the Love Eaters actively try to make him fall for them. That makes the romance feel more engaging without forcing the audience to play detective for 50 chapters while juggling half-baked clues that would inevitably lead to plot holes.

And since you’re complaining about the story being generic, harem is a genre for a reason. There are formulas that work, and there’s nothing wrong with following them, whether it’s the protagonist’s nature, the heroine archetypes, or the setting. The key is putting a twist on it to make it stand on its own. Meanwhile, the mystery heroine angle you’re pushing is already an overused formula with countless copies in the wild, that’s more generic than what this manga is actually doing. You’re just salty because this didn’t follow your beloved amogus trope

It’s actually crazy how much you’re grasping at straws to come up with ways that this story isn’t beyond generic and cliched.

I don’t have any particular attachment to the mystery girl harem cliche, it’s simply what got me first interested when I read the manga. I haven’t even read Quintuplets or virtually any other similar manga. The only one I’ve actually read is Nisekoi. So, you can piss off with your baseless assumptions that this is some genre I’m deeply attached to.

Literally nothing is different about this. There are plenty of other harem romcoms that focus on the MC helping the girls overcome internal conflicts they have. This isn’t even unique to the ‘monster’ girl harem genre.
You seem to be in this purely for the thrill of the mystery heroine, but people have already told you that’s not the point, nor should it be, because there are PLENTY of stories that do exactly that.
And there are PLENTY of other stories that have the MC helping characters overcome their personal struggles and inner conflicts, especially in the harem genre.
The real draw is seeing how he navigates this minefield while the Love Eaters actively try to make him fall for them. That makes the romance feel more engaging without forcing the audience to play detective for 50 chapters while juggling half-baked clues that would inevitably lead to plot holes.
The romance isn’t even remotely engaging. The MC is the stereotypical naive nice guy, who makes inexplicably dumb decisions. He knows who at least some of the Love Eaters are but still decides to interact with them despite the clear and obvious danger. What would be engaging is if he had to avoid the girls he knows are Love Eaters. But no, he’s gonna play the cliched nice guy trope and try to help them. And again, you’re just baselessly assuming there’d be ‘half-baked clues that lead to plot holes’ with literally no evidence to back this up, other then making pointless connections to other similar stories. Because as we all know, if one particular story does one thing, every other similar story is going to do the exact same things and make the exact same mistakes.
that’s more generic than what this manga is actually doing.
You still can’t come up with a single thing that actually makes this manga unique and sets it apart. It does NOTHING original. A harem MC helping potential harem members overcome their inner conflicts may possibly be the most overused story archetype in this entire genre.
