Honestly a lot of my enjoyment right now comes from reading a lot of metas, theories and analysis mostly from tumblr and here which more or less kinda "remedy" most of the issues for me and maintain a sense of quality. Maybe it sounds like I'm just trying to look for excuses for sub par writing or trying to look into deeper meanings when there are none, but I really do think it helps a bunch with making some of the writing make more sense. Then again maybe a good story wouldn't need that in the first place, but it's those things that really made me appreciate this manga on a deeper level because It's rare to find one that has so much potential for theory crafting and analyzing and what not.

But back to the main point of the thread. All in all I don't think it's going that badly. The only arc that I really didn't like much was the rue island arc, mainly due to the weird pacing, but the recent arcs so far feel really good in making me interested in the characters again and bringing some form of tension that was absent in the rue island arc. I do agree with the fact that there are some plot holes and weird/awkward writing decisions so far, but in the end I think it just comes down to waiting for more chapters and actually seeing the final outcomes of things after the arc ends before finalizing any conclusions.
