General & Others Does the community decrease or increase your enjoyment of a manga and its characters?

[Blazing Lion]

It does, I mostly enjoy as more and more things about a character are revealed to me through different perspectives.

 

[NikaInParis]

Decreases it, especially in regards to characters I originally liked before starting this online discussion phase

 

[grey matter]

I don't know. Overall decreased I guess.

Positive
More invested in the manga. Got better understanding of manga narratives, saw interesting theories etc.

Negative
An year+ earlier, I was a casual fan who didn't interact with community, and was completely oblivious to agenda nonsense and enjoyed series for what it was.

Bold part.

100%

I never liked Buggy, but he has such an amazing fanbase that I almost fell in love with the character. Unfortunately, this is the only positive example, otherwise the situation is reversed.

 

[AkainuTheGrimReaper]

I just ignore what people say .
When I first read The marineford war manga give me impression Akainu strength and Akainu become my favorite character .
‘But in 2016, people are like saying Marco is admiral or Whitebeard two akainu nonsense (Not even true and fossa say Akainu is not down) .

People argue Marco push kizaru out even through he deal no damage . Remind me of Super sonic got pushed away from bosses without getting damage taken or lose rings from bosses attack . But no one argue bosses like perfect chaos is equal to super sonic.

I enjoyed dressora arc when I first read in 2016 . Of course there are people who hate dressora arc due they have been one piece manga reader longer. But that is their opinion .

When I saw the Mihawk vs Shanks vs Akainu vs everybody shit show that restarted again after the "top 50 strongest character" event this is exactly what I thought. We have people that read the manga just to think of a way to mock in the most efficient way the rival of their preferred character, to troll is ok but from those statements there is clearly hate in them, coming from every fandom pretty much, you are making the poor experience of reading OP (after Wano) even worse. It is like if you are running on burning coal but with your hands instead of your feets.

Lol I think Hawks was probably a victim of circumstance. When I first caught up to MHA it was near the end of Overhaul's arc so I had to read weekly by the time Hawks was introduced and started taking breaks then.

Seems like he most likely is lol. You'll prolly change your mind when you do the reread cuz Hawks is great. Let me know how it goes.

 

[The White Crane]

Over the years I've seen people say that being a part of a community is the only reason they've stuck with the manga. Some however say that being a part of the community decreased their enjoyment of the manga, and the characters as well, to extents that they've now grown to hate it and the characters even though they were previously, supposedly, fans.

How about you? This doesn't have to be strictly One Piece related, you can account for other manga, and other communities as well, not just this forum.

​

Increased it, of course, especially for Mid Piece. If I have little joy out of reading Mid Piece now, at least making fun of it alongside other members of the community still gives me joy.

 

[Unlimited Rulebook]

Me viewing posts in spoiler thread:.
Other times the forum is mainly just agenda or silly theory threads. Occasionally they can be mildly amusing but reading them usually detracts from enjoying the manga.

 

[Doggo]

Depends on the community

 

[Toby D. Dog]

Both.

 

[Light D Lamperouge]

depending on where you are in mha
it will stop being fun

[Kiiro]

Increases it, for example my fav is Shanks, I started on piece because of him. It was here in the forums where I saw how much underrated was Doffy that I started to debate to protect him, suddenly I was a fan of him too.

 

[Garp the Fist]

The only time the coumminty has effected my reading is making me genuinely hate Carrot.

Other than that I don’t really care what other people say and actually like certain characters more than I let on.

Just wait until Deku awakens his true quirk Joy For All and asks Shigaraki if he's having fun.

 

[Carrota Guco]

Yes, I came in with peace in mind, about to leave with war thoughts.... I hate yamato very much so and I usually like these types of character. Damn some were so aggressive and smug and just plain spiteful.

 

[CensoredbyWG]

Increase, i love to see people fighting with each other over comics.

I kinda got annoyed with Yamato in a similar way lol.
Especially with clowns pretending she was a dude, was hilarious to say the least

 

[Sugoi]

Definitely increase, the community carries this series tbh. One piece is really really boring just reading it weekly without talking about it with anyone

 

[Rumble]

99% of this forum is obsessed with power rankings and feats despite the fact Oda could not make it any clearer neither is a priority to him if he tried.

I'm just here for the spoilers.
