it wasn't always shit, it stated going downhill this arc. newly introduced characters are abrasive and unlikable and derail the already established plot.
It's barely good story wise at the start, but the visuals were nice. Just classic shonen trappings making it seem better than it is. I can accept that, it's just the industry's bread and butter.
I just feel like nothing actually moves forward, making the story feel obtusely slow. Granted that's also common since this kind of manga likes to do long sessions of action before doing short respites, rinse and repeat.
It's just that the piecemeal chapter cuts, slow-ish pace, and generally flat characters combined to seemingly sabotage my enjoyment of the story.
