dunmeshi was a rly fun read but i feel like it got really dumbed down in the last quarter after everything got revealed, which is sad, bc i really enjoyed the characters and the themes, but it felt like such a slog to get thru until the end bc it felt like it was just one dramatic speech (usually from laios) to the next, with the characters frequently repeating long established info like the reader is too dumb to connect the dots themselves. which is kinda annoying in a manga geared towards adults.

#dunmeshi #dunmeshi crit #im sure this has a lot to do with this being a 9 year old serial lol #so the author Had to include callbacks to older moments nd characters nd places #but god it really felt like Too much at one point. trust in your audience man...#also was kinda bored by how quickly they solved the fantasy equivalent of depression in the old dungeon lords but ig they had to do that lol #and tbh. twas all too predictable. which makes the overexplaining even worse to me #well I still had loads of fun nd thot the characters were great #tho senshi nd chilchuck felt rly underutilized/dumbed down after their whole backstories were revealed. nd esp towards the end #hoping the anime will trim some fat from the story too. it kinda dragged (usually happened in big group scenes)#it's fine for a monthly manga ig but kinda falls short if you actually observe it all in one go (or even just weekly in anime form)
