Allow me to elaborate:
Please take Vol 3, Chapter 38, page 7.
Oh boy, when I saw this page way back when, I saw it through some thumbnails for the chapter in the Raw official site.
(I will stipulate that it´s totally fair to promote your work, but sex appeal instead of story development feels cheap).
This page works as a set up for the chapter on itself, which then develops into a more hot scenario for it´s next chapter.
or at least it suggests to aim to With lines like in the following page such as, "what are you doing here?" and "I´ll allow you to stay", it is suggested this was an unplanned event within the story,
but then soonly after in the next chapter:
- It is revealed to have been planned all along, (by revealing that the girls are actually wearing swimsuits underneath).
- The MC kicks the bucket quite quickly.
- Eventually he picks an attitude out of nowhere where he pretty much white knights the girls, even disrepecting their advances.
This kind of thing will become a norm in the following chapters, and you can only expect it to go on, endlessly, nowhere.
And understanding all of this, I still continued reading.
I thought, I´m just not getting the whole picture, clearly there is a point to this story.
(Not really). As I soon realized the essence of the series, and began to sense similarities within the chapters, my hopes soon followed to dull down.
Through further examination I began to see a pattern in which the author would use his chapters to create a setup for the next chapter, from which the beginning of the next chapter would inmediately be pushed aside in order to begin setting the next´s chapter "plot", creating a cycle of nothing.
When I caught up to date, I found the state of the series to have turned formulaic, where the character development had turned into a harem in which the MC was just the typical pure vicinity of a guy I have become tired of reading.
And in a way, this became too boring of a way to lead your work, eventually I just felt like I was going through clickbait content. (
I understand this might be my first time going through this, or even that I´m still missing something, but please understand. I was hopeful this was going to be an enjoyable ride.)
So far, I don´t condemn anyone who likes this read. I just wanted to give a heads up to not takes this series as seriously as I did.
I couldn´t help it, but in turn it still hurts me when the concept of a good story is inmediately pushed aside for the sake of lazy writting.
In the end, the series just builds up for a mindless read with some fanservice here and there, but if you read it for anything else than that, it´s a waste.
Frankly, I don´t think anyone would care enough to have read this far.
