It’s like it’s getting the inverse of review bombed.
Whatever direction the story is going to go is impossible to say; and so I don’t get what’s been shown to make such a large percentage of readers call it “perfect.”

It reads as a political allegory for the very specific kind of right wingers who lap up anything that panders to them, regardless of quality

Probably a backlash to the backlash this manga received. Either people who agree with the anti-immigration sentiment or defend the manga by saying it isn't or just find the people crying about it pathetic.

On the contrary, you can bet many 1-star ratings are motivated by people who hate the supposed politics of this manga. Truth be told, the only negative review so far mentions those politics.

This is not an isolated incident. nobody gives honest ratings on this website. The score distribution of nearly everything is skewed to the upside by braindead glazers who mindlessly hand out 10s.

usually new stories have more honest score distributions, due to lacking a following that is predisposed to hand out a 10 for no good reason, however this may have gained enough attention to already have a cult following.

>Basket of deplorables give it a 1/10 because of its anti-globalist, pro-nationalist overtone
>Normal people react in kind and give it a 10/10 to create balance

It is really not that hard to understand. Drama Queen became absorbed into the culture war.

@TheBladeIsMe I was thinking that was it but I checked the score distributions, it was barely negatively review bombed at all. Only 6% of total reviews were 1 star. There are more 10 star reviews than 1 through 5 star reviews. If anything the only review bombing is is the positive review bombing.

After reading the post, I was expecting atleast 50% 10 star but there are only 16.2% 10 star lol. Idk if it got change after your post or not but that is actually pretty low % of 10 star. Only thing not normal about the rating is that it got 6% 1 star, which is pretty high. This is probably one of the dumbest thread I have ever seen.

I mean this series has the chance of being actually a good satire and story about today's political radicalization and xenophobia so that's one reason

due to how common uncritically braindead 10/10 ratings are, i think they should be completely ignored in the avg rating calculation if they arent already.

its cuz of the controversy, as you said its only 2 chs it doesnt make sense for it to have many 1/10 ratings, but ig ppl are rating it like that cuz they feel its "racist" or whatever, and my guess is ppl who think that statement is false or are against that narrative are rating it with 10/10 as a countermeasure.

@Infamous_Empire I bet you jizz to generic romcom #628366 or to power of friendship shonen crap #293873. The series is fun, you are just mad that the 10’s outnumber the 1’s.

I don’t care enough about this series or its controversy to get mad about it or the reactions to it (I’ve seen this exact reaction cycle get played out dozens, if not hundreds, of times for any piece of media with politically-charged controversy surrounding it in the last 10 years, it’s not even unique enough to be worth the energy), and, quite frankly, the series’s actual politics are so hard to get a read on at the moment (specifically whether it’s actually racist or if it’s satirizing racism, or maybe it’s a fumbled classism metaphor) that I’m reserving judgement on its actual contents. I’m just saying it as I see it when it comes to the fandom.

same way people were shitting on it from just 1 chapter and it also has 1/10 ratings, so i don't see what's the fuss about.

because as an artist i think the art is nice in many ways and the story feels original compared to a lot of things i have read.
ofc we could go into a deep dive of every little detail but eh, I'm just enjoying it as is.
I'm also the kind of person who rate as i read, so it may go down later on or it may stay the same.

people who feel the need to put their agendas into everything in their lives are just sad and i hope they learn to live in peace with themselves someday. people like that (who overdramatize every little thing they disagree on or dislike) are the reason others aren't taking things seriously anymore, they have themselves to blame. but they are to immature to realise that or accept what's right in front of their eyes caused by their actions.
