The hardest review to write is for an incomplete series, but judging by the "omni-directional" approach it isn't presumably hard to rate unless the author decides to not lay his plans out so predictably.

Like most series, it cannot simply "remain" a work of art or story to be enjoyed. In the sense that it is created and enjoyed, then gets dragged up in its own success until it starts caving in on itself. Good artists never "stagnate" exceptionally long. Always improving and fluidly evolving.

However, an unexpectedly good idea will simply get the creator carried away. We see this with long-running series, multiple-season anime, and "one-trick ponies". It keeps doing the same thing until it simply ceases to be creative or entertaining.

Somewhat remarkable that it isn't porn or simply mediocre to start with, it does get carried away. Up until then it was a multiple-viewpoint series with insights into motivations, mindsets, and decision making from different characters. It didn't dwell too long on any one character.

However it abruptly abandons this and starts shelving characters for the sake of drawn-out "character development" story-arcs that simply cannot be described as actual character development nor story arcs. Mostly just a standard setting with internal monologue, self loathing, and self pity. Then capped off with the problems virtually solving themselves while the currently followed character groans but accepts it. There are a remote few gems, but most solve themselves.

Understandable to a small degree, but also absurdly aggravating, is that the male characters are woefully neglected, if not outright targeted. Understandable in the sense that the author is a female that also does porn... japanese porn at that... but when a story is to be taken seriously ALL characters should be constructed carefully. Get a co-writer who actually knows how men think or function.


All in all, it starts off good but becomes over-saturated. At least somewhat female-biased by over-generalizing men. Lastly, it starts to become bland, very telegraphed, and just uninteresting around the mid 30's or so. Before that, it was rather good at building characters with a few somewhat forgivable hiccups that have very little impact.
