It feels like the story... just started? Like as of last chapter. Like the characters are finally actually moving forward and everything before was a smokescreen, which kinda sucks given how many chapters it's been.

? I don't get it. Don't most stories generally need a conflict for the main characters to work towards and solve? The conflict here is past trauma and ill-relations.

Without that established, when (if) the story reaches its climax, would it not feel like a different story was sold to us?

Imagine if Naruto started when Naruto became a genin and not as a shunned kid desperate for acknowledgement. Would the end of the Pain arc hit as hard?

I agree with you there.
