I feel like the issue is there’s such a big disconnect between Onigashima and Wano. Onigashima is alright but so much that happened before feels like it has no relevance here. And this is the arc that all of lost timeskip has been building up towards too.
Actually that's a major point.
Wano is the CULMINATION of HUNDREDS of chapters of built up.
And when we FINALLY REACH WANO.............it follows the same formula as other arcs. And it's even more shitty when you consider the lenght of this arc alone.
Arrive, get split, join some people, meet some locals, sad backstories after sad backstories after sad backstories, now reader likes people because they have sad backstories. go fight enemy. lot of chaos, lot of splits, people running around doing nothing, useless filler plots, time bombs after time bombs after time bombs, rushed developments, etc.
