    Hope You're Happy, Lemon - Ch. 64

    I think the author's image of who lemon was changed as the series went along, to where it no longer really made sense for who her character had become. The character writing feels so clearly forced because it has to arrive at a conclusion that's no longer natural. GoT season 8 type shit. This...

    Hi no Ryuu no Kuni - Vol. 1 Ch. 1

    That opening is a beat for beat rip off of Nausicaa. The most blatant I've ever seen. Seriously go read and compare.

    Doubutsu Ningen - Vol. 1 Ch. 5

    Possibly one of the stupidest things I've read. It's trying, I guess, but the writing, pacing, and world building are so half assed.

    Diagnosis From a Fallen Angel

    Art in this reminds me of those bad actors who try too hard to look "hot" or cool in every shot.

    Day Labor Dungeon of Alcohol and Cigarettes

    You ever notice how often authors who smoke or drink feel the need to make it some central element of their stories?

    Bungou Stray Dogs

    Let's not mince words. It has a high rating because there are a bunch of prettyboys, and preteen girls eat that up.

    Arpeggio of Blue Steel

    One of those series I've known about for a long while, tried to get into, and invariably dropped out of disinterest every time.

    Alive

    In contrast to the now ubiquitious isekai self insert slop, here we have an example of the traditional self insert slop. But man some Japanese reaaally have an inferiority complex don't they.

    Akuma Nisei

    Nice, relaxed, offbeat mood and vibes. Good little series.

    Hope You're Happy, Lemon - Ch. 63

    This is the problem with writing backwards. I'd bet my life the author wrote the premise first and then had to come up with the reason much later. The author was going to have to write this moment eventually. They didn't pull it off. It felt like it had no weight.

    Sesesese! ~Mezase Hatsu H! Doutei Joshi no Tokimeki Daisakusen~ - Ch. 21 - Vs. Me

    I don't know that that's the case, it feels like a very self-contained story based around one character's singular arc, and all their other works have been short too. I mean maybe it was cancelled, but I think it was intended to be brief from the start. Not every series benefits from being...

    Hope You're Happy, Lemon - Ch. 59

    I feel like the author changed their mind halfway through and retconned what happened. Maybe out of fear Lemon would come off as unsympathetic? This doesn't really line up with how they reacted at the start. The beginning is pretty dishonest now and a fair bit of the drama has been sucked out of it.

    Beautiful Place - Vol. 3 Ch. 14 - Authorized Investigation (1)

    Wish they weren't there but he's probably rushed af. Anyway thanks for the chapter.

    Luna Knight - Vol. 1 Ch. 4 - The Hammer Falls

    Seems to be lacking creative ambition. Description screams "will be axed soon."

    The Ultimate Time Sweeper Mahoroba - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Battleship Maharoba

    Naively romantic as it is, this series is quite fascistic in a way. Bizarre how oblivious and disconnected people can be from the atocities they enabled. Well, not really. It makes perfect sense people are like that, it's just laughable.
