This might contain light spoilers.
I was initially motivated to read this manga because I saw it got an anime adaptation that looked pretty interesting. The story started off strong; I was drawn into the world + the characters and watching how the immortal protagonist developed as a result of the events and people around them. But it went downhill after a particular arc with one of the main antagonists... and then it just kept going downhill because the author decided that antagonist should have decedents that continually harass the protagonist throughout the ages and the protag is like: "Hm, this is kinda weird and uncomfortable
...
for me but I'm not gonna do anything about it! This definitely won't be a problem for me in the future."
The current chapters take place in the modern day and it is insufferable at this point. It has devolved into overused tropes and many of the characters who previously had some development have been thrown to the side for... whatever this is. It's a very character-driven manga without actually writing the characters properly and there's no progression in this current arc.
I really don't understand why this has such high ratings when it's this disappointing (for me at least).
