I have been reading a batch of manga released in the past 5 years and I'm taken back by just how awful the story composition is.

Do modern mangaka even care about story at all? It feels like they just come up with some kind of idea or scenario and jump right in without any grasp of build-up, composition or patience. It is also glaringly apparent how disconnected the characters feel from being real people. I know some stupid retards will try to claim anime/manga characters aren't supposed to reflect real life, but that's exactly what's required for interesting, nuanced, memorable characters. It's getting really boring seeing a never-ending supply of shallow stereotypes because the mangaka doesn't have enough life experience to write a character with even a bit of depth.

What exactly went wrong?

Surviivor bias. There was a ton of absolute dogshit manga "back in the day". We only remember and talk about the good ones, which gives the illusion that all/most old manga are good. Meanwhile, you are acutely aware of every garbage isekai being churned out nowadays.

That might be true to a degree, except for one thing: there actually were good ones.

I am not sure there has been a single good manga to come out in the past 5 years. Every single one of the dozens, if not hundreds I've begun reading are plagued by the same inability to tell a good story. It doesn't even have to be an interesting story or idea; the problem is always execution, and it becomes glaringly apparent within just the first few pages of the manga.

Name them. Name the last 20 manga you've read. Also name your 10 favorite manga.

>Name them
Can't, all too forgettable and often have long japanese titles.
Reading one right now called "Ore ni Trauma wo Ataeta Joshi-tachi ga Chirachira Mitekuru kedo, Zannen desu ga Teokure desu" and I can barely get through the first chapter without already being bored by the uninteresting storytelling.

>Also name your 10 favorite manga.
I'm not going to give you a full list just because zoomers like yourself think all lists must meet the arbitrary quota of 10. Some manga I like include GTO, School Rumble, 7Seeds, Terra e, Kaze to Ki no Uta, Hi no Tori.

Thank you for confirming your stupidity.

Then read those with short title you absolute retard. Hoave you tried Fool Night? Is a good sci fi manga.
>I'm not going to give you a full list just because zoomers like yourself think all lists must meet the arbitrary quota of 10. Some manga I like include GTO, School Rumble, 7Seeds, Terra e, Kaze to Ki no Uta, Hi no Tori.
So you can't name 10 great manga that you like? The only zoomer here is you. Name what you like about Terra e and 7seeds.

>>268344227
At least there were still good manga from that era.

Every new thing being written now is written by retards with very limited life experience who obviously don't understand the first thing about good storytelling.
