I feel like these new abyssal ones are lacking the creativity and sheer horror that the original awakened beings instilled.
I agree.. I think Yagi is running out of ideas because all of his new "monsters" look like recycled versions of past ones. I'm sad to say his art is not as good as before, because all of it lacks something now.. [I'v said this many times, but no one reads it anyway]
Even one of the first awakened beings we saw looked better than the 3 new abyssal ones.

Volumes 1-14 were good. The rest, meh..
And geez, there's 3 new abyssal ones when we don't even know what's going on with Clare, Priscilla, The Destroyer, Raki, and the other Continent.
