The first 12 volumes were great and I would say its one of my favorite mangas.
A very funny and a worthwhile read.
The main character and the first characters that got introduced and appeared often were very good and played off each other. While intresting and funny situations that happened made it a very enjoyable and funny read.
I could relate to the main character and I found my self laughing at a lot of the jokes and enjoyed nearly every page.
In later volumes some new characters had gotten introduced and even tho I didn't like most of the new characters it didn't matter too much since ... I still found the volumes funny and enjoyable even if not as much as I used to.

Then i read vol 13.
The tone had changed and the focus had shifted completely.
Instead of following Tomokos daily life filled with interesting events and good jokes this volume and future ones started following Tomoko and all her new friends daily life with nothing really interesting happening and no jokes.

It just became so boring. There are barely any jokes anymore and the pages were just filled with either endless conversations that were not enjoyable to read or just mindless fanservice.
The new characters got more focus and turned out to be very bad characters.

First i need to talk about Kotomi. She was a very good character and one of my favorite until she just became a shell of her former self and now she only appears to remind us she likes baseball and wants to fuck Tomoki.
And then we have the new characters.
Yuri is emotionless and dead inside. Her whole character is that she likes and find Tomoko funny.
Ucchi was okay as a one off character in the field trip arc but for some reason she became a recurring character that only serves the purpose of repeating the same joke over and over again.
Asuka is a very feminine motherly type that likes to enable tomokos deviant behavior for some reason and is pretty big snore fest
Yoshida i was hopeful for at first but it seems that the writer doesn't want to do anything interesting with her.

In the end the shift in focus and the introduction of too many boring or useless characters was the thing that made me sadly give this a low score
If i only read the first 12 volumes i would give watamote a 8/10 but after reading up to volume 17 i have to give it a 6/10

I saw Konosuba about three years ago. I remember liking it and finding it pretty funny, but I also found it a little forgettable. I gave it a 7 at the time. When to movie was released, my friend who really likes konosuba wanted to watch it so we watched it together.

I was a little disappointed. I found it very stale and boring. The sound and animation were good noting special, but nothing bad. The characters were exactly as you would think if you have seen konosuba before which made them stale and predictable. The story was really bland and not interesting.

The jokes weren't funny, ... only about 3 got me to exhale out of my nose. Because the movie was depending on boring and predictable jokes it became very dull.

My friend said he enjoyed it and gave it a 8 so I if you really enjoyed konosuba you should watch it, but maybe you are like me and will be bored of the stale story and predictable jokes
