Indeed. Without a good management of expectation and reading experience, reading a story as long as One Piece week by week is like watching a movie 1 minutes at a time over multiple years.

Consequences can be negative AND positive. One Piece is an hopefull story, meaning that negative consequences must only be groundbreaking and radically change the course of the story, something like Marineford for example. On the other hand, positive consequences are all over the place, they are...

Yes. But what most people miss is that One Piece is not the average adventure battle manga : One Piece is an odyssey. By that I mean that One Piece is narrated and structured like a legend in the making, not structured in the way most stories are. Which means that while we don't know if Luffy...

But most of all, none of these systems will work if we don't think through the framework of anti-imperialism, materialism and intersectionnalism. I'm not free until everyone is free.

I'll be honest, I can't reply to you with the knowledge I currently have. I have reason to argue some of the point : - The fact that there is a case to be made regarding marxism which is more of a frameworkabout the forces of production under capitalism than really "authoritarian communism"...

Simplicity always stands on the shoulders of complexity. I'm not trying to be pompous or intellectual, I'm simply sharing what I know. I don't like gate keepings. No. I simply know how to manage my expectation and my reading experience. I've been doing that enough time to understand just how...

Don't mind the three act structure in this graph, it's for vulgarization purpose and not exact. One Piece is more like a 5+ act structure story with what you could call 2 opposed "midpoint". (Marineford and Wano)

Yes, they are. This is a logical storytelling mechanic. It's like trying to theorize a two hours movie at the beginning of the third act, but in slow motion. I tried to warned you years ago that spoiler and week to week reading experience would become more and more predictible over the years...

One Piece has tension, you people are simply not feeling it. Experiencing a story is not a one way experience, it's a sharing process : You bring your experience, values, expectations and mindset while the author brings their vision. It is important to understand that if the exchange is...

@Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier Blax wants to talk to you about socialism and is asking you if you can unblock him

At short term, I hope for the left to be strong enough to repeal the current fascist rise which I hope could open a window of interests for people to question capitalism and politicize toward materialism and leftism as a whole. At long term my hope is simply the creation of a class less and...

Well it depends on the time span, I'm very optimistic for the long term future, but not so much on the short term

If One Piece was easy to understand, I wouldn't have spent 20 years trying to unveil it and try to decipher its language and tools to reproduce the writing. And I spent my entire life analyzing stories so I know just how much of a beast this is. One Piece is purposefully easy to grasp on...
