Omg can we be friends? Sorry it's just the first time I've seen someone (besides my sister) say SAO was terrible even though it is so popular.
Of course we can. But you should know it's pretty well established in most circles of the internet that SAO awful.
Seriously?? Where have you heard this? Most people I run into say it was great. I haven't watched it yet myself because I missed it when it was released. I read up plot synopsis...es (SP???) and reviews and the stuff I read really turned me off. I suppose it's good to not watch it then?
Haha I must be in the wrong circles then because most comments I've come across sang praises. It had a good start and good ideas, but again executed poorly and pacing also bad for me (don't know if you can tell, but I look a lot into the pacing of a story lol). Also sick and tired of reducing strong female characters like Asuna into weak ones that depend on the male lead (Kirito) to save the day.
Honestly I don't know why the hell I'm reading something as bad as this. Ok that's a lie, I do know why and it's because I just want to see the two hot characters make out and have a happy ending. The problem I have with Citrus, is the storytelling. There are good ideas and themes, but it's executed so poorly. The pacing is so whacked up that most of the time I end up finishing a chapter going "What the hell did I just read?"
Sorry mate the problem is in yours, not the manga.
If you watched this to see two hot pseudo-sisters making out. But then you were distracted by things like story or pacing. Then you have done it wrong!!
My case for example. Do i care about Mei's stupid father and his role in shaping Mei's character? Hell no!! I will take teenager's complicated hormone as an answer instead of 'abandoning-by-father-turning-you-into-a-kiss-machine cooldere' thingy that the author tried to pass to us. But it won't be matter. This chapter we see an almost-broken Mei begging for sex. Followed by hot and steamy touchy. Then things ended with a hot make-out and some romantic plot development. 10/10. A good plot/ storyline would have distracted me from all that :P
Haha I can do that if I'm reading something purely for the pornz, but the author intended there to be a story so I have to take it at face value and judge everything we are given. Besides, there are hentais that have executed a better storyline than this so that's no excuse to slack on half assed attempts at a cohesive story. But considering how popular this series is, its formula is (unfortunately) working out pretty well for most of the population...
But! I do have to say I really liked the ending kiss of this chapter. Finally a kiss that meant something and was of consent from both parties! That is what I'm still reading this for lol. I just want a happy ending ;_;
