i swear what's with one piece having so many endearing characters and fun dynamic situations with them and being so, so bad at working with them in a longer narrative span
#I GET THAT ITS A GENRE THING#but also oda's out there just reducing of his characters to the bare minimum that makes them likeable until theyre in the focus again#all the moments where characters are in focus? THEYRE GREAT. nice characterization nice everything. but whenever theyre in the sidelines#theyre just completely fucking irrelevant#like i admit i didn't read all of one piece but i didn't manage because its just lackluster to me a lot of the time#do we REALLY need new things being introduced ALL of the time?? i get that it's entertaining and works really well for a narrative that#lasted as long as one piece did#hell im sure id find it quite enjoyable if i grew up keeping up with the releases! od get much more attached to every arc!#but trying to read through all of it just makes me not care about the current antagonist because in my pov theyre gonna stop being relevant#in a week tops yknow?#idk i really wish i could read all through it because i do love the potential all of the strawhats have as characters#but op has become utterly lifeless to me#AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO THE ONE SUPER COOL ARC PEOPLE WANT ME TO READ BECAUSE ITS RLLY GOOD#MAYBE I WOULDNT BE COMPLAINING IF I READ IT. IM SURE I WOULD LIKE IT.#but that's another problem!! i only stick around for these big cool moments!!! the in-betweens arent entertaining enough!!!#i dont find the buildups compelling enough because all the characters feel diluted‼️‼️#only a handful of them get to have agency in any given arc#idk man i would love to read the whole thing just to get the hype but its just mot doing it for me#sun.txt
