what if you banged out three pretty good arcs back to back, finally getting rid of that one character you don't like very much in the process, and then as soon as you were out of easy callback material to that first really good arc, you started writing a series of largely unrelated battles connected by rules that are both overcomplicated and flimsy, populated by characters that are irrelevant, underutilised, or both, in a setting that completely nukes a bunch of the ideas you were originally trying to explore. what then

#every day i think abt how much time was wasted on......... well we just don't know actually. turns out all that time we used trying to buy #rules for the overcomplicated system was just kind of silly. whoops! great job anyway tho guys we'll just have this brand-new character #fix our problems right here and now and then go away forever. did you know that the mangaka said he wanted to be done with this series #within the next year and a half because i sure remember! how about that random US/CN military plotline that got thrown in at the end? #anybody else remember that? how about the amount of time we had for that random french guy to get steamrolled by hakari? surely that #time wouldn't have been better spent letting tsukumo yuki DO ANYTHING right? #i am being so fr when i say that the culling games arc was a Bad Choice for some of the stuff gege made a big deal out of before #jujutsu society sucks ass and to expand upon this topic i am going to blow it up so there's nothing to talk about anymore. Cool #and then he just flubbed the interpersonal themes too by sidelining them for most of the arc in favour of Cool Fights With Strangers #it just bums me out man #vposting #jjk spoilers
