came across this by chance and it's a bit of a funny one. i don't think it's best executed start to a horror story i've read of late, but i really like the pieces making it up. hoping that the odd pacing is due to a new creative team finding their footing, but it's worth a suss!
spiritual paralysis is a fairly common idea in horror media, where a spirit essentially makes you unable to move through glamour or shock, but this is the first time i've seen it translated to a more permanent state, one where it requires the need for a mobility aid
@gaanjism@SmashUltLucas Yeah I think it's much better to just experience things for yourself rather than not engaging with something because of a singular quote in an interview 9 years ago. Either you like it or you don't, but at least your opinion is formed on your own.
@SmashUltLucas@gaanjism Seo's statement can be both true of his intent to spark Yuu's development properly, while also being an artefact ignoring the writing of the rest of the work. A singular quote cannot summarise a 200 chapter work. It's duality that it can have that element while also going beyond.
@SmashUltLucas@gaanjism Fuuka essentially haunts the narrative for the rest of the story, including bystander characters. It's not singularly for Yuu's development, nor is it forgotten once he's "developed".
@SmashUltLucas@gaanjism For example, her death leads to all of the band dropping out of highschool, in one circumstance resulting in Mikasa being disowned by his family. She serves as a spiritual centre for the band consistently, and many of their thoughts about direction end up directly invoking her.

i thought this was going to be the typical "she tested our relationship by lying about cheating to see if i really loved her" schlock, but the "plot twist" of her cheating is infinitely more convoluted and more stupid than her actually cheating on him

spoilers: the FL was trying to avoid issues at her university from stalkers, so she was fake-dating the brother of a friend, but actually dating the MC in the pre-isekai world, then he saw them fake dating outside of uni, then died, and then she found out the brother liked her.
