Lock On - Ch. 17

[Eighty-six]

I guess the author just likes this concept and wants to draw these two characters without developing any sort of story.

No, fuck this, I've had enough of character profiles.
Fuck this garbage, fuck the author, fuck the people who rated up this dumpster fire to an inexplicable 8.77 rating.
If I was as deranged as the author, I'd be sending him death threats of twitter for writing such crimes upon humanity, so while I'm still somewhat sane I'll just drop this turd.

Peace on you.

It's a Twitter comic, not even serialized in a print or digital magazine. The Japanese man reads it on his daily march commute to his 9 (AM) to 9 (AM). You are expecting way too much if you're disappointed that these aren't substantial.

I'm guessing the author wants that serialisation.

Who cares about money.
The frustrating part is expecting something, anything out of a manga, and author just repeating the same shit over and over again. Even the single-panel twitter/fanbox coomer bait mangas are better than this.

What this dude is outputting can't even be considered a comic, even by twitter standards. It's a barely illustrated, barely written advertisement for a series that doesn't exist, and he keeps repeating it every single month. Maybe he actually is insane.

There's a bunch of twitter artists that do a whole lot more with a single panel. Maybe if he actually put in some effort he could get serialized, like Zurikishi.

 

[Moshu_Reads]

So a normal romcom manga then?

It's more like one of those promotional arts authors do twitter after finishing a series to somewhat maintain the fanbase.

 

[AnnoyingFrenzy]

Who the hell is this chick?! Was she here the whole time!? I'm lost and confused. Don't want to re-read the whole thing up to this point for context. Can someone just give me the summary of who these people are please?

 

[ApolloX1209]

oh it's just a title card again DX

let me ask you one thing

why u expecting SOMETHING GOOD ( exactly like your taste/preference ) when you pay NO MONEY( or other effort to contribute to the author/artist ) to the point where you got so "FRUSTRATED" , you started trashtalking others?

honestly curious.

When you say 'twitter standards' or 'considered a comic', that's your opinion of what 'a title' or 'a manga', free or not, is supposed to be. And I think an artist or a different reader would have a different definition of a manga, which is perfectly fine. You expect something to have consistent plot progression in several pages a week. Someone may epxect a one shot with dozens of pages containing aan entire short stories on its own. Others could be happy with a single illustration with little context, and fill in the rest with their head cannons and references. A civilzed society means we acknowledge that we have different preferences and standards. If you don't like this manga, nobody can force you to. And if somebody else like this enough to give it a 10/10 based on the existing plot points and art style, I can't force them to down it to an 6 either.
The point is, following or rating the manga is where the impact of your preferences should end. Ranting about the fact you dislike it is fine, I suppose? But an attack on the author (calling them deranged and insane) and on other users (fuck us) is not fine. Especially when you, like billions of other people, dont financially support the author, the TL team, or MD itself who host those images. Unlike you, people do care about money, which feed them and pay the bills. If you don't financially support their livelihood, you can't really ask them to spend an extra few hundred hours drawing a chapter that match your preferences so it might get serialized and you can read a copyrighted version on MD for absolutely no cost all the same.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I wanna kms, this is beyond fucking retarded, this is RAG levels of stupidity, people, the fucking mangaka keeps repeating the name and premise of the manga instead of actually doing chapters of them doing cute things, I give up.

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

I guess the author just likes this concept and wants to draw these two characters without developing any sort of story.

Just read through most of the chapters just then, and was thinking exactly this.
Almost none of these say anything besides the plot of the story - she's loved him for 10 years, there's a 10 year age gap - we get it already!

 

[reinokid]

When you're the "idea guy" but you still have to update once a month...

Jokes aside, yeah, it's one thing not to give too much away if you want a serialization but there's got to be more than a quick concept's worth of material to go on.

Maybe they're just doing it for fun.

 

[Dalteeno]

Went through the chapters again and this "She is this old and loves him"chapter has been released at least 3 times with nothing else actually happening.

Which is strange because this author has other Twitter manga he makes that actually seem to have actual premises to them but they are all 2 page quick comics.

My point is if you are looking for something that isn't just a person drawing their oc's on twitter then you should probably stop reading this. It's not a story it's a person drawing characters they like.

 

[WhiteRabbitBR]

Fuck, here go again

 

[CalebPlowmann]

Devilish
Also, thank you Kafka-sama for the upload

 

[beThereShortly]

Those eyes are really piercing. The artist is so good!

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

I was wondering. These look like ads for something. Is it posted somewhere else?

 

[CulR]

Do you think she is around his age? What is her work-life is like?

I think she might be 10 years younger. It's hard to tell. Gonna wait till next chapter just to be sure.

 

[BakedBanana]

fuck the people who rated up this dumpster fire to an inexplicable 8.77 rating.

In the average user defense, a lot of people probably rated it back when it wasn't just full of profile pages.

Also the rating went down to 8.74 as of now.
