Why would I try to argue with someone whose argument is "paywalls are good actually"So you have no reply to that, no comeback you can use. As expected.
I forgot comick went from a hosting site to a tracking site
Honestly kinda hard agree. Especially so we getting a whole backstory flashback during/after they diedThis is Chapter 13… we literally haven’t known any of these characters for a significant amount of time.
None of this means anything, and most importantly, the first few chapters of this series are an Erotic Comedy about a horny knight which has been completely excised from the series (along with his character).
So basically we have 3 comedy chapters and 10 from side chapters from a Berserk spin off.
The writing, story, and even art at certain points have been all over the place. Between the poor pacing and confusing paneling, it's confusing as hell if you try to actually piece shit together. I find it hard to find an emotional connection when we barely know anything about the characters. Unjust and brutal deaths don't mean shit when they're random and nonsensical as fuck.This is Chapter 13… we literally haven’t known any of these characters for a significant amount of time.

I cried at Anohana, Logan, the first demon slayer movie. I cried when my grandma died last month. I cried at the end of Endwalker and E33. Hell, I cried at the end of la-la land and half the ZZZ character trailers. This shit made me feel nothing because it didn't build anything up. We got a quarter of a chapter about Hanna and the entire manga reads like it was written by a schizophrenic on adderall. It's pretty clear the target demographic is lovers of grimdark slop who think over the top brutality and nonsensical and unjust deaths is peak writing. It's the lowest form of emotion bait and only works on the lowest common denominator. So berserk stans that have never actually read berserk and fromsoft shills that have only ever played Elden Ring.For anyone who didn't feel this chapter, you're a monster, full stop.
Between this and the Musket Girls, this has been such a tearjerker trend across what should have been light-hearted female led fantasy mangas.

WTF even is "poor pacing"? Sounds like a pretentious way of passing off personal desires as objective facts.... Between the poor pacing...
Let's go ahead and add illiteracy to your list of known traits.Why would I try to argue with someone whose argument is "paywalls are good actually"
It is objective fact, this is a mid to late game story beat being used in the prologue. Your complaint that he didn't specify too fast or too slow is nonsense as basic abductive reasoning should give you the answer, especially as he quantifies his statement a little better on the next line.WTF even is "poor pacing"? Sounds like a pretentious way of passing off personal desires as objective facts.
You wanted it to go faster?, then say that. You wanted it to go slower?, say that. But don't pass off your wishes as objective facts.
PS: You're taking the hit because yours was the "one time" in "I've seen this 'poor pacing' bullshit one time too many."

It's been 9 months since the rule started getting enforced and I don't see MD going anywhere anytime soon.you're going to quickly have a dead site on your hands.
For what it's worth, the overall story is 90% political drama, 5% over the top brutality, and 5% horny women. That 10% is just, unfortunately, frontloaded to set the stage. Basically, watershed moments that change the life trajectories for Faust, Valiere, and Zabine (drill hair knight).It's pretty clear the target demographic is lovers of grimdark slop who think over the top brutality and nonsensical and unjust deaths is peak writing.

What are you on? The OG Novel? The WN? Still technically ongoing.
The LN? The one that in Japan is on Volume 6. The one that just released the Volume 3 in English?
Please, either do a second of research or be more believable.
The Author who has stuck in the lane they choose for 6 volumes? Yes, the hook was made, but this is essentially still volume 1 for the LN. The story bounces between Fausts difficulties with romance and having a wife, his warrior prowess, and the political connections of a feudal society. Particularly his own in what is the HRE by any other name, in what is effectively the 1300s Europe.
You can choose not to like the direction of the story. That is perfectly normal. But this is a very purposeful death for the two major characters it effects. Zabine and the Princess. None of the other guards really matter as much. Yes, you can track personality traits onto a few of them, but their importance is negligible.
That being said, the Manga sure did draw out and change the events here.
Hell yeah I did. Shit hit way too close to home at the timebro cried at la-la land lmao
I do enjoy it.If you have read the LN, would you recommend it? The art of the manga is pretty good and I've enjoyed the recent arc, so I'm inclined to stick to it, but I'm curious. Unless it's like the backwater swordsman manga where it's just an entirely different and better experience with how the characters are written and portrayed.
. . . We all can be misinformed, I've certainly misspoke of something I've read. But checking how many volumes are out isn't particularly hard to do. I wasn't being particularly grumpy either. I was mostly flabbergasted that someone would say something so easily checked or was trolling for a reaction. It probably wouldn't have evoked such a reaction if I wasn't rather enjoying the story in the WN/LN as well.Someone got up out of the bad extra grumpy today.
As far as I recall, something indeed was not updated for a while behind the scenes, can't recall which, it seems.
That being said, with 6 volumes, it csn either mean very little or just enough to actually get a story going, who knows. I'll have to check it out.
Just gonna delete my whole message since it was needlessly vitriolic. Have a nice day.WTF even is "poor pacing"? Sounds like a pretentious way of passing off personal desires as objective facts.

What happened to my horny manga 😭
"Everything can only be a single binary choice, all things are either fully black or fully white" is a shit argument born of either poor literacy, poor understanding, or poor reasoning.
When my argument is that paywalls are bad, full stop, and yours is that paywalls keep groups from losing money, you're implying that paywalls are good. Reading between the lines is hard, I know.
Then you've really not been paying attention. I have 200+ series on my active reading list and 90% or more of those I originally started here on MangaDex or Batoto before it, I'll be generous and say that maybe 40 of them have the latest translated chapter on MangaDex now but it's probably less, with maybe a further 20 that I think probably will get uploaded here eventually but that will happen anywhere from maybe a week to six months from now.It's been 9 months since the rule started getting enforced and I don't see MD going anywhere anytime soon.
Please, by all means, continue to play devil's advocate for the most hated groups in scanlating.
