Survivorship Bias Chapter 22.3 Discussion

Umm, so where do I start?

I only finished the first arc so I can only give critique or thoughts perhaps on the 1st arc.

Well, it was promising, if you base it solely on the synopsis, it was an interesting concept.

However, at first read, I felt that I could not resonate with the story at all, I felt disinterested and often I wanted to skip some chapters. But as I've read a few Unlimited-Flow novels, I figured maybe it would get better for the latter chapters.

I endured reading, I intentionally tuned out the flaws I've detected. Like the lack of elaboration, I figured it should be the author's style to be ambiguous and reveal the rest later on. I can't pinpoint where it lacked or where I was dissatisfied but I got fed up with all of it. The surface-level absurdity of the villain's side considering they are on the verge of death: the villains' intention here just didn't ignite me, so it seemed their intentions were just surface level but the punishment became extreme. It's like a 1:4 ratio.

And the flaws... Sigh, maybe its just me or I just can't enjoy the story at all without questioning the character's logic. Like why didn't he know? Didn't this particular event consider a piece of evidence? Why? How? I'm sorry but I also have to point out the style of revealing how they devised their plan in a dialogue setting and the character's dialogue also doesn't seem to work, it ended up sounding cliche. Like a-confrontation-with-the-villain-and-hero-where-the-hero-is-on-the-verge-of-death-but the-villain-still-has-the-time-to explain-the-plans-and-how-they-got-into-that-type-of-cliche-level.

Personally, not a big fan of the 1st arc, and I decided to read another story, hereby dropping this and who knows if I'll pick it up again. But I also respect others if they enjoy it. It's just, that it didn't touch me that much so I'll have to drop it. I love the author's other story though like lovely allergen and fanservice paradox. S/he is a good writer, so I am sure s/he'll improve in this field of genre.

P.S: This is my first time giving a review. This is not to discourage anyone from reading, just sharing my thoughts after I've read the forst arc, who knows it may be good for the 2nd and other arcs and people certainly has different taste, or preference in writing style. So, the ones I found dissatisfied with, may not be applied to you. Mind you, I also have some badly rated danmei that most people in the review section kept hating on as to where the story lacked but as I read it, it ended up being my favorite danmei. Ehem* insert Peach Blossom Debt. So yeah.

That's all. Happy reading!
