Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! - Ch. 238.1 - Since I'm Not Popular, We'll Have The Wrap-Up Party Here Again (Part 2)

[arcosapphire]

This was painfully dull, both implicitly and explicitly, there's nothing of substance here. Really though, are the authors not afraid of getting axed?

They could use those pages to lay some relevant motiff or cringe. I genuinely don't get why this arc had some many spoiled climaxes, what a way to self-sabotage. Being Watamote, I'm not necessarily talking of sudden dramatic upheaval, but even in the comedy department the stereotypes are falling flat; the corruption is not a sustainable cover for lazy writing.

Kind of a weird take. "Why is the story all about being an awkward girlfailure so awkward and full of failure?"

There's nothing out there that captures those moments like Watamote. Even the fact that the parts you expect to be wistful and emotional fall flat is just on brand for the story. It's very much a story about how those things don't actually happen. Any time the story gracefully lofts into the air, it hits a lamppost and bounces to the ground. That is the point of it.
