The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You - Vol. 19 Ch. 159 - The Gothic Lolita Festival Girl

[Seregosa]

unsurprisingly, this manga is going downhill with no sign of getting better. as more and more characters have been added, the art has become much more simple and just worse in general, and characters have been reduced to a single personality trait. they used to have some depth, but now they are one dimensional as hell. i genuinely dont even know if the manga will be readable by the time it gets to 100 girlfriends.

Honestly I have to agree. That's the issue of having too many mainstay characters. There's simply not enough time for every single one and no one would want to get in-depth about each of them in the first place with how boring that'd be. The more are introduced and needs to be kept relevant somehow, the more the story gets spread thin.

This happens even in normal harem stories with 3-5 girls, but at least then it's manageable. But with this many, it's just not even slightly manageable anymore without turning it into some kind of episodic manga where they just throw random ideas in there for the weekly episode, every girl at best gets scraps of story. We'd need a ton of chapters just for each to get a single chapter to themselves, so that will not really happen and it'll just be a hodgepodge mess.

I still find it a bit amusing to read, but it's definitely starting to feel like the story has no value at all anymore, it's just a matter of rinse and repeat, even down to making the new girls do exactly the same thing as the old ones, just slightly edited to fit the new personalities.

I really believe that the author bit off far more than they could chew. "The 10 girlfriends who really really really really really love you" would've been difficult already but at least manageable. At least then we could've avoided the main point of each and every volume being introducing about 2 new girls, where it's all about integrating them into the group somehow in the limited time we have. It's so repetitive that you just know exactly what'll happen now and exactly what kind of chapter to expect. We always know that after a girl is introduced, he will need to somehow charm them by being nice and trying to act according to their interest, then they need to get together, then he needs to introduce them to the group on the rooftop and then they need to do some weird activity usually related to the new girlfriend's hobbies. This happens every single time without fail. Then the few pages leftover we might get some small date or mini-event on the side of whatever character the author fancies to write about at the moment.

Since there's no time to develop the characters either, they all act exactly according to the initial setting/stereotype and we know exactly what they'll say/do, so the comedy is also pretty much gone after so many chapters, it's not really funny if we know exactly how they'll react and what they'll do, especially not now when everyone around him has accepted the abnormal as normal and no longer react in funny ways, not even the new characters tend to be surprised, they just accept everything because the author doesn't have the time/pages to spend on writing proper reactions or think up jokes.

It's basically creatively dead at this point.

You should have notice that after Hahari got into the gang. You've been warned (if you followed this series from first release) that this trope would make a lot of girls don't have dynamics as they have more characters joined because of limited pages.

The author already passed the impossible task by her unique writing. Asking the latest chapters to be like first chapters is too much. There is no way you would get what you want

Just because we knew this would likely happen, as they SAID they did, doesn't mean it's good that it did.

Who is to say they wouldn't be able to keep it fun even with more and more characters? Sadly, they haven't been able to with how repetitive everything has become and that means the story is going downhill regardless of it was expected or not. Even if we knew it was going to spread the story thin, it could've still been saved by great humor, but even that has been watered thin. We couldn't expect that it'd end up being so lazily written where every single girlfriend is basically the same at this point, it's the same routine every time, he meets a girl, he charms her by pandering to her hobbies/personality, he introduces her to his girlfriends (which is never an issue because, yeah, manga logic), she shows her abnormality to the rest of the abnormals and then maybe there's some event related to the new character, then we might get a side story chapter or two before another character is introduced, rinse and repeat. The characters have become increasingly less witty/interesting, which isn't a problem with the amount of characters but that the author has lost control and can't think up truly funny/new things anymore.

This ended up being a one-trick pony kind of story and at this point we've beaten said horse to death and we're just kicking its corpse every chapter.

I still enjoy it enough to read it, but that doesn't mean I don't recognize that it's at best a guilty pleasure and that it has little to nothing to offer and that the story has been becoming wore and worse. Saying that someone should've realized it doesn't mean the facts become less factual or their opinion less valid.

Your argument is the same as saying "You should've known you'd become an adult, so you shouldn't be frustrated at having to deal with all the issues that come with being an adult". Simply inane.

Not really. It's just that is just wishful thinking it can't be realized whoever author it is. It's not possible. The reader already know the exact expected number is 100 from the start. The option would obviously either cutting the supposed to be 100 number to lesser than that, making some like background character, or forcing it with barely unplanned plot. All choices is a lessened quality to the first chapters. It would be ungrateful of you to be a fan if you expect more when continuing it is already hard enough. Even one piece, the most successful onGoing manga in sells, can't escape the fate of sacrificing quality and can't satisfy all readers
