I think since I'm an experienced reader, the story wasn't that striking to me? I was expecting a lot from it since people sold it as magical, gut wrenching and stuff but I didn't really feel all that when reading it Don't get me wrong, I loved reading it but, I wasn't left staring at my ceiling once I was done.
The ending was bittersweet. I'm torn between disliking and loving it. I dislike it for its ambiguity, yet I appreciate it precisely for that reason. Does that make sense? While I would have preferred a concrete ending, I realize that a concrete ending would have clashed with the book's underlying principles
Which widely popular anime or manga do you find difficult to understand the enthusiasm for?
Mirai Nikki: It feels like it was written by a 15 year old mangaka wannabe.
Hibike Euphonium (and many KyoAni products): Annoyingly "cute" characters.
Mushoku Tensei: I hate this one so passionly. A man fantasy. This is a story of an obvious otaku who dreams a world in which women are so ok to be a man's one of so many. I know there are thousands of disgusting series like this but this is one of the trend setters. We used to have trash harem series which end with the "He didn't choose any of them and thus he chose all of them" cliche but now we have "He has 1554632 wives and got all of them pregnant" trope. I hate how anime world revolves around horny otakus whose biggest fun is seeing women degraded.
OMG WHO IS THATTTT
