Given the whole fiasco of the RTX involving v10, and the strike I doubt that we'll be getting any rvvby content for a while now, so...
I once again urge the RWDE side of the fandom to read Kubera: One last god. I promise you all that it's so good that a good chunk of the reason I didn't touch this blog in so long was precisely because I hyperfixated in it and despite its length I have made several re-reads of it.
It's a story rich in worldbuilding, lore, characterization, philosophical and moral questions, and A LOT of grey morality, of every single shade running around, even from the most upstanding of the characters, and right out of the bat it's announces as a story "with no heroes or villains, only victims."
Some of my favorite lines from it aren't even accompanied by impactful images, just a black bg with text, like a quiet acknowledgement of their situation:
Sure, the art of the 1st season is a little wonky, and some of the humor seem outdated (it started on 2011), the official translation can be awkward to read, but come on, this fandom was given a lot worse in terms of quality of animation, art, and dialogue from the v1 didn’t we? And unlike RT, the author delivers on everything they set up, and continuously improves, you can tell she has everything planned and knows exactly where she wants it to end.
And look at how she portrays herself, as a literally Currygom, meaning a curry+bear in Korean (yeah, it's one of those authors who don't like showing their faces)
Every single promise that the RVVBY series has failed to fullfil for the audience? Currygom delivers far above and beyond, and she has a whole ass encyclopedia of comments for almost every episode of the story, just to fill in lore or the occasional blank.
So, try to give it a chance, please.
Also, if you doubt me on the art evolution, here's some proof, the first images are very early s1, and the second is from s3.
