Okayyy dang there's lot more text here than the last time I hopped in here...
Well my opinions on why I feel like this latest arc is dragging on is because I think it's lacking what I enjoyed in the earlier parts- a lot of jokes about corporate work life, that even people who don't work in the gaming industry can relate to. I think I just miss the relatability of this series, that I feel was completely lost when Momiji won the competition. I mean it was dragging a bit before that, but it was still fun seeing Yun and Hajime finally move up in the company.
Yeah the argument has been made before that this manga isn't the least bit realistic, but to me it was as realistic as it could be for a SoL CGDCT manga until a freakin intern won the contest and became head character designer....I dunno, it just takes 1 thing to break you out of the universe and that was it for me.
