So, /a/, let's say a manga has 100 chapters total: The first 50 chapters are absolute DOGSHIT, the worst of the worst, but then the second half is as kino as it gets, and on top of that, it has a genuinely good ending.

How would you classify it? Good? Bad? Would you recommend it while warning people that it takes a long time to get good, or would you simply not recommend it because half of the manga is terrible?

At what point does a great second half and ending make up for an awful first half?

>>290790780
I get that, but it's kind of hard without any real examples. What I will say is that IF a story, whether LN or manga or otherwise, is able to retain its audience through the dogshit first half through some miracle, then the peak-end rule will almost certainly make the series memorable and great if the second half and the ending is really good.
>>
>>290790540
I think it peaked around ~170-ish, so just after confessions and reconciliations and all that. Everything after was good as long as it involved the main couple, the rest was unnecessary melodrama and idiotic, and you could feel Aka getting bored with his own story.
>>
I would rate it highly.
I love new beginnings even if they're not good, because they have so much potential I can't wait to see what happens next.
Even if it's "boring" or "nothing happens", if all the boring stuff gets used for later plot, then it's wonderful.

The only note I would stress, is that, for light novels, I really can't stand poor writing quality. I'm fine with bad characterization or nothing happening, but if it reads like it was passed through chatgpt, I can't do it.
I recently had to spend weeks or months finishing 50 web novel chapters because it wasn't good (long hyphen) it was bad. Torture.

For everyone saying they would drop it: Muv Luv
>>
>>290790726
There are a few I can think of that are split evenly between either halves or even thirds (though not the quality aspect of the premise).

Death Note was in two parts, and Sengoku Youko was in three. The former had a quality difference of sorts, while the latter was a little different in tone, so I could see how people could like / not like different parts.
>>
>>290790726
Not 50 chapters, but Hokenshitsu no Shinigami is a dogshit battle shonen that gets a lot better once it switches genre to comedy 20 or so chapters in.

Spica. Will. WIN.

MC's actions were quite reasonable.
He is suddenly tossed into a death game - so he doesn't trust Yuno immediately.
Yuno proves herself trustworthy, even if obviously mentally ill, but then he finds completely unexplained corpses in her house. This causes him to revert back to not trusting her.
Yuno goes on to break into his home, threaten his mother, and do all sorts of nonsense, creating perfectly reasonable reaction from him.
Yukiteru did nothing wrong.

Is Yuji realyl that strong?
Sure, he has a copy of Sekunas technique and piercing blood, but his CE output is still below average and he isn't bearly as creative or smart as either Gojo or Sekuna.
>>
>>290790903
The heart to heart with Sukuna is the soul connection thing that happens in JJK, usually (or always) happening when one of them is near death. Sukuna did it with Jogo and Kashimo.
You could say a similar thing happened to Nanami and Gojo as they died and saw people. And Yuji did the same or similar concept when he talks to Megumi's soul.

This definitely was not Yuji's domain expansion. We see Sukuna in a different form and we see afterwards Yuji and Sukuna fighting in a Yuji's domain which is a conventional domain with a sure-hit applied to it.

>>290790889
and also in a 5v1 against the Disaster Curse
>>
>>290781036
>doesn't make sense
It's a self impose vow. Just like how Nanami lowers his CE output during work hours in exchange for increased CE output in overtime, people choose to give up the information advantage on how their CT works in exchange for raw power/efficiency/etc.
Naobito and Naoya are good examples of how this is up to the person, they both judged in all their fights that the confusing nature of Projection sorcery (the speed, the freezing, the rules) is better kept secret than revealed in exchange for increased potency.
>we never see
We see a measurable increase in power with Nanami vs Mahito.
>what gets stronger
Lower CE cost, larger range, quicker activation?
>Uro
Lower CE cost, she can manipulate larger parts of the sky, can stretch it further, something like that?
Most people who like to reveal their hand in exchange for power do this at the start of the fight, hence we obviously have no way of comparing the output of their techniques.

We can only speculate based on his few feats in Modulo. Those were all cool, but yeah they're not Gojo/Sukuna levels of power. I wonder how he would fare against Jogo.
This is why we need a sequel but Gege fucking hates Yuji and probably JJK overall.

No cultural relevance, no popularcharacters besides Aizen (Pain/Orochimaru/Madara/Sasuke are infinitely well more known) and little fanfare for it's impending finale. What stopped Bleach from reaching it's potential? Or was it doomed from the beginning?
7 replies omitted. Click here to view.

>>290787748
Just watched all of bleach for the first time and it's just not that great. I have no nostalgia for one piece or nardo but they're just more compelling stories with better characters. Bleach isn't a story about anything, isn't particularly entertaining on a moment-to-moment basis, and I don't care about almost any of the characters.

It also peaked at the very beginning and has basically no highs after soul society, while other series build to moments and have payoff. The best moment is when Ishida fights Kurotsuchi which is like 5% into the series.
