Definitely not nowhere near halfway through the series yet, but I got so fed up with the MC that I just had to write this review. Might change my mind as I read more episodes. Might also not. Seeing as how its score is over 7, people generally found it appealing. But not me, no. Not yet, anyway.
There's this cliché that, when the MC's more of a thinker than a doer, they have tons of internal dialogue. That's not necessarily a bad thing... when done right. The viewers can follow the MC's thought processes and act super smart, cool, etc. But when it's done wrong,
...
it gets tedious. Overbearing. Boring. Frustrating. MC thinks, "I know this other character super well and they won't definitely do the worst action possible--" Oops, the other character actually did the worst possible action at the moment. MC thinks, "These people won't do anything unexpected because only insane people would--" As the other characters say, "Hold my beer!" and proceed to do the most unexpected thing because, news alert, they're in an apocalyptic world and, of course, any survivor would be a little more unhinged than the usual. What was the MC expecting? Civilized tea parties in a zombie-infested town where it's every human for themself?
It's just too much. And happens far too often. I've never been so frustrated over a character until I read this series. MC's choices are based on the assumption that he can think things through very logically, but when other people don't do what they're supposed to do, he's lost because he hasn't thought that far ahead. It's crazy.
Giving it a 5 since I'm still a fourth on the way in but, if I could quit this series now, I'd give it a 1.
