If those kids who likes Devilman Crybaby could read, they would be very upset...
My Anime List requires more words in this review. But there isn`t anything that hasn`t been said. However, after that ending I was thinking of contrasting it with Evangelion.
First and foremost, I have Evangelion. There isn`t an anime that I hate more than Evangelion. Even School Days had a reason, it was the bad ending of a terrible game novel. The Evangelion is: ok, you have your religious references down to a teeth but your whole theme is awful and terrible, all your characters are awful too and there were probably 100
...
diferent ways of telling the same point with all that depression enveloped in depression
Well, Devilman Crybaby doesn`t have that problem, simply because is so bad developed and rushed that even slowing the pace and reading the original work wouldn`t fix it. But the anime makes more obvious the flaws of any point the author was trying to make. This is a BAD anime and a BAD plot with AWFUL development and horrendous ending. I could`ve rewatched Full Metal Alchemist or Cowboy Bebop instead of this garbage. Ryo`s motivations are awful, it makes no sense, even with the plot twist I cannot imagine another thinking person getting that motivation and THAT IS THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH THIS PLOT. Demons trying to destroy the earth and we humans only making it worse is kind realistic and also unrealistic at the same time. We humans are mudafukers about suvivability, we survived through a LOT, it makes no sense at all how humans react in this show to apocalypse at all, they are so ridiculous they went straight through the threshold and went into being CARTOONISH. I didn`t see one realistic human in that show besides the rapper falling in love with Mi-ko. EVEN THE MC, when his parents died was basically one scene crying, boom, next scene, "I`m fine". MIKI`s reaction was way more realistic after losing her entire family.
It baffles me how many people liked this terrible show and it is holding at 7.7 stars with 600 thousand reviews.
And still, is not the worse anime I`ve had the displeasure of watching. But only because it had Miki and the MC here.

I want to talk only about the last arch. The rest of the story is great, even amazing, if you are tired of your run of the hill shounen, Hunter X Hunter can provide you with something beyond, more dark, macabre, violent, beyond anything you get from Naruto, Fairy Tail, Bleach and even One Piece. That is it. It is THE abnormal shounen that is biased towards the more dark stories and violent stories. If you, recent fan of manga, in need of something less tamed, welcome to Hunter X Hunter where your best friend comes from a famous family of assassins and he is
...
as brutal as they come.
Now, about the last arch, I found it exhausting. It is full of useless dialogues and narrations that gets in the way of a good pace. Of course, this isn`t something new with HxH, but it got worse now since this will probably be the longest arch of the series. Through the entirety of HxH, you have your "villains" and they are what you expect, of course, this being HxH, they feel more violent than your common shounen villain. HxH villains make Fairy Tail`s villains look like you old collage friend you used to talk to and now is trying to get you to invest in his "bitcoin job". Now, hell, about 80-90% of the characters in the current arch are somewhat villains (not that HxH ever defines villains that much, the grey aspect of its characters is what makes HxH intriguing) but to the over saturation, there is more than 100 characters for you to track and that makes the plot really hard to follow, specially since, as stated, full of useless dialogues and narrations, and even more: plot points that could`ve been dropped for the improvement of story as a whole.
However, what will define this as a masterpiece or another over colluded plot is the ending of the arch which does promises something amazing. One cannot but hope that the author`s health improves and he manages to end the manga. We already lost the master of Berserk, losing the one from HxH seems like another huge blow to the manga fandom.

So far the story is really funny. There is really something here that reminds me of some other works that are really good. The troope here is the basical: MC travels the world and see weird shit, but this one with a ressurrection twist.
The major problem, and why I think people give such relatively low grade, is that the plot is a little too contained. If it used more absurdism or surrealism, while still using the same style of jokes (that Star Wars one was real good), it would improve the plot by a lot. Think about Gulliver`s Travels type of weird.

This is one of the most difficult stories I've ever had to read. There is a lot to unpack that cannot be done easily. There is only one thing I wish to say:
Most comments, when reacting to the events of the plot, are really really dumb. Some keeps calling the plot inconsistent, others try to perceive it as the same as other mangas. This isn't your trash isekai or trash manhua. There is no good side and no evil side, there is a nuance in it, but most thinking people can understand that this is an exploration of many awful tragedies that can happen in
...
real life.
Most people will perceive the work as a exploration of abusive parents. And they are correct.
But some will see it as a work trying to twist this expectation and showing the hardships of motherhood (and fatherhood to a degree). And this is also correct.
(And there are the dumb people trying to just tag a character as psycho or crazy and be done with it, if things were as easy as this in real life we would be living in an utopia)
There is usually two types of interpretation that can be done in a story: the first is the one intented by the author, meaning Authorial Intent, and the second is the interpretation of what is written and only written by the reader, meaning Death of the Author (and withing this, different viewers will interpret different things). From my POV, neither is wrong or correct, it just IS. An aspect of any work of art.
Of course, the work isn't over yet, so any interpretation is still incomplete. Only the ending will solidify which interpretations work and which it doesn't.

I can`t say much about this manga because I`m not that familiar with the romance genre, I only read a few others like GE: Good Ending and some others I forgot the name. What I can say is that the characters are interesting because they do have flaws but aren't unlikable, the plot is kind of original, but these days you'll always be able to find something similar, there are a few Deus Ex moment in the end because said character is basically useless for work since she ditched school.
Now, comparing this manga with similar ones in the same genre category I would say
...
that this manga is missing that "the story is so great that it can make you feel butterflies in your bely", like I felt with GE, and similar - but different - with tragedies like Graveyard of the Fireflies or any great drama out there. But I'd say that the reason for not having that is because the mangá is so short, 21 chapter is barely close enough for a good character development, imagine making your plot so deep it makes you really care about them.

A light novel following the LitRPG genre (in a way), the "new" Isekai troupe, the "SAO Copy" troupe but with a twist.
The plot follows these tropes but the twist is that the MC doesn't get sent to another world, he actually gets stuck behind because he was sleeping. The God who sent his entire classroom to another world ends up "accidentally" (there is more to know about how he gets his powers) giving him the power to level up while sleeping and basically create skills. Because of the incident where his entire class disappears but not him, he ends up being questioned by the
...
police for a while but they let him go. By his fault and carelessness, he ends up being found out by a Police Officer who is a detective in the force, who asks him sometimes for help bribing him with food. So a few years pass by and he ends up really OPed with some nice skills. And after that, the plot starts.
The main twist of the trope is original, at least I haven't read any other LitRPG or Isekai Light Novel and Manga with the same or similar idea. It starts interesting as if the MC is actually smart and want to do something. But a little after that you realize that the MC is just another passive MC who actually has no goal, no objective, there is no wanting to be King of Pirates or Hokage, there is no ambition coming from the MC, something I may as well consider it to be a cliche from this point on. Don't get me wrong, the MC's lack of ambition isn't the most annoying characteristics coming from an MC. The worse so far that I have read is the "MC can only complain and complain and complain" troupe. The MC from this, however, isn't like that, he does complain about how bad things keep showing up getting in his way of sleeping and not complaining about everything like the above troupe.
The secondary characters are kind of interesting, especially the first angel he fights, it introduces something I found rather amusing - the fact that heaven is basically a company with rules and employees, wage and stuff like that. This here can be considered a type of spoiler, but this doesn't ruin the novel, just show something interesting (since it doesn't spoil the actual plot, I won't consider as a spoiler"
The main problem in the light novel, besides the MC lack of ambition, is that eventually falls into some cliches like the clumsy character, the tsundere (which sometimes can be considered a cliche), the shounen feeling I got sometimes, and there is some level of protagonism (which is to be expected from all Isekai and LitRPG novels and Mangas).
In the end, if you are like me and like the Isekai/LitRPG troupe go for it, it isn't bad even if it isn't the best one.
