I didn't find it all that original or even enjoyable. I would much rather read a manga adaptation of His Dark Materials. Way better story, characters, plot, everything. Riko feels like an extremely watered-down Lyra Belacqua. I had high hopes after taking a couple friends' recommendations to read it, but I was seriously let down. This manga reads more like a lolicon / shotacon / gore fetish hentai with fantasy elements and half-baked philosophical musings slapped onto it. There are pedo scenes in this manga that are so bad that you are NOT ALLOWED TO POST THEM ON THE ... MADE IN ABYSS SUBREDDIT because they breach the "no lolicon / no shotacon" rule. Think about that for a sec. Chapters 24, 31 and onward.

As for the story, it's all been done before, just not to this particular batch of kids. The drawings are great, and the character designs are cute, but the content just doesn't do it for me. I'm bored of monsters, houses and toilets made out of intestines and teeth. I'm tired of every arc being about some kid getting tortured - in Nanachi's case, tortured in the exact same way twice. I started this story desperate to know more about the star compass and white whistles, but I just don't care anymore.
