Rant time!!!
I skipped last weeks chapter, I had a few thoughts on it, I think it did not deviate too much from what others i spoke to, thought tho.
I'm trying out the 'keep reading' feature so I don't accidentally spoiler someone. I hope it works. For the same reason I am not posting any images. At least for the first few days of the chapter release^^
I keep having my issues with the way the story progresses in the webtoon. Last volume it was Joris entanglement with the Ouginak children in the sewers (at the very least I hope this will pay out later on, but even then it felt like a sidequest pushed into the narrative).
And now they're going to check out a Gobbowl match, and this is going to take at least 1-2 more chapters I estimate, which would already almost half the volume, with little progress :(
If Great Wave had an indeterminate number of planned volumes, it would not be a problem. But i recall them saying it's only going to be 3 and that worrries me sooo much qq
THAT SAID, my bias shows because given I love Gobbowl, this chapter was made FOR ME :)
Pure fanservice, the return of Kriss and Maude only cements that. I can't think of a way they'd be relevant to the larger story but at the same time...I think a large majority of us fans are glad to see them again, back in the day (S1 &2 airing) Kriss used to be my fav :3
Will say that I was LOWKEY disappointed when they announced the ''Sidimote Rats'' and I was eagerly hoping for a gobbowl team full of actual anthro Rats. People familiar with my OC Brienne will understand hehe.
I liked this chapter <3 and I am happy to be able to say this, because I did not feel the same way with previous ones.
The biggest downside was, and we're used to that by now, is that the chapters are SO SHORT, it was over in the blink of an eye </3
To be expected as there were a lot of action-y panels.
And.....adressing Amalia, whose behavior was seen with a very critical eye last chapter (out-of-character, development regress etc), I am glad that she was so insightful and quick to accept blame for her reaction, as understandable as it was. I did fear the chapter would spend all of its pages on her lashing out on Yugo.
