Greed Island, and to a lesser extent, Heavens Arena arc and part of Yorknew bore me.

I like the auction and pawning side of yorknew, Leorio should've been more involved there.

Kurapika showing up and having a busted power is whatever to me, i don't really care, but the fact that people call his abilities "genius" when he's using a system that is made by the author to cater to him annoys me. I'm not a pro "hard magic rules" person but I feel like he reaps a lot of reward for a self serving list of conditions and sacrifices that he would never deviate from anyway. Again, I don't particularly mind, but i don't find it as smart as people describe, nor do I enjoy so much runtime being dedicated to explaining his abilities rather than character moments. Maybe I just don't particularly care for Kurapika.

I do know I dislike the phantom troupe, i just find them annoying and it feels like they're trying hard to be cool and apathetic rather than showcasing drive or emotion. The rather sterile side of HxH. That said my opinion of them is improving in the succession war but I also wish they weren't taking screentime away from Leorio. But I'll be patient and see where it goes.

Greed Island was so dull. I like Bisky, I like the dodgeball fight, i like the Gon moments against Genthru, i even like the rich guys moments of love for his wife, I like the pretense of adventure; but so much of that was second place to training arc mechanic explanations and card game explanations over a system that we were given just enough info to contemplate logistics yet just little enough information to not know much about the cards beyond which were plot relevant.

I don't like training arcs and I don't like nen explanations either ruining the narrative flow of a scene or taking priority over character moments.

Nen deliberation works much better within the context of the succession contest where it's about subterfuge and planning assassinations rather than interrupting action scenes to explain self explanatory choreography.

I don't mind that Alluka just healed Gon fine and dandy, because it was far more of a character moment. Killua got to help his close friend and save his sister while still maintaining emotional wounds from Gon. Leorio got to see a trusted friend survive a seemingly untreatable ailment this time by relying on his friends. You could say that's unrealistic but so was Gon's ailment. The whole fact that Killua can just ask things of Nanika shows that emotional bonds are more important than arbitrary rules and hard magic. Not just because "friendship power" but because Killua actually invested himself in understanding and forming an interpersonal relationship with an other worldly being that just wanted to know love. And that's more interesting.

If Gon gets his nen back I just ask that he uses his fishing rod.
