I think it's all about testing us and seeing how needlessly they can devastate and frustrate us. Because it sure ain't about the characters, whether they have a name or are nameless, I can tell you that. At this point I am just hoping that there are very few chapters left to burn off before the Titan craze finally ends.

This story ended with the ocean. ANd that's where it should stay. So you hate Attack on Titan because of that one chapter of that one arc? Is this the part where you make a YouTube video about Attack on Titan and why it sucks? All because the author went in a storytelling direction of no return? Hey I've put up with a lot of complete nonsense from this story, this is simply the breaking point and the one crossed line I was never willing to forgive. Like why? I'm more than just indignant about it.

The emotional exploitation continues, and continues to be mistaken for something poignant when no, it's just another knife to the soul. Or in this case, a bullet to the chest. And it ain't about to let up. The one swerve the story did NOT need. Some compensation for four years wasted on this would be appreciated. Look not every writer is going to be perfect, it's like a rarity here & there that a author makes a story on the level of JKK Tolkien or GRR Martin or even a Yoshihiro Togashi that makes a great story from head to toe. But writers write what they want to write, obviously not every written piece of work is going to be great automatically, some may end up either really bad, but some end up good but not without putting up some effort into it. Hajime Isayama is not a great writer and he wasn't even a good mangaka at the beginning but he grew & learn some experience on the way, if he does make a new manga he may do the story a bit better. Hello, Fern.

So when is it time to move on to the next manga? Because man, this one's terrible. While they've been heaping adoration upon the mains, be they the villains or the heroes, including ones who do not deserve it (Gabi Braun), the supporting cast which more than deserves better treatment and is almost as compelling is treated like such crap throughout, and I'm sorry this is how they found their beginnings with this manga. And a writer who can't give two of his mains (Annie and Ymir) any purpose to serve over such a staggering length of the series........I prefer something more character-driven, not death-driven. At this point whatever payoff there is is gonna ring pretty hollow.

I certainly think the insult of 105 is dragging itself out too aggressively and it brings up the insult of previous such instances in the series.

You can probably tell I'm no Game of Thrones fan.
