Even though I know logically it's only been a dozen chapters, the fact that those 12 took 2 years to be translated makes it feel like I've been wasting an eternity waiting for this story to actually start, even though they've recently started coming at a good pace. Not sure if I should hold out hope that this is only the start, or that the end is nigh, and my waiting is finally over.
With a really solid MC introduction and an appealing art style, a small part of me still believes that this series is destined for greatness, though that's probably desperation on my part.
