It should be said that this is a good work. Although the first few chapters seem to be "the adventure story of brothers looking for the sage's stone to recover the body and breaking the conspiracy of the dark forces", the later development should be said in the same type of story. Still pretty good. At least it will not be inferior to any chapter in One Piece (after all, this one is only devoted to telling a story, so it will definitely be more complete).
The suspenseful design doesn't make any tricks, and everyone can guess what's going on, and then tell you the next mystery, making the barrage spoiler less lethal (for example, the face was revealed before) The BOSS is actually not Hohenheim. The protagonist group went to meet the BOSS by themselves as soon as the spoiler was finished). The scale is also just right, and there is no heavy talk for the sake of curiosity. Although Tucao entertainment does not seem to be as natural as the pirate integration (you also complain about the author when you fight, can you be more serious), but the overall tone is still good (it is said that the 03 version of the original plot Just curious). The mentality control of the characters in all aspects is relatively in place, and there are few situations where the image is shriveled because they are soy sauce characters. There is a certain depth to the elaboration of topics such as war, hatred, desire, redemption, country and people. Although there is no thought-provoking point of view, the author did not deliberately cater to these flashpoints, but instead naturally and sequentially substituted into the world view of adults, compared with the youthful friendship and passionate struggle of some hot-blooded teenagers bluffing children. Younger middle school students should It has a certain revelation effect (pirates actually have them, but they are relatively hot-blooded).
Then say the opposite: the temperament of this work is still too "craftsman". It can be seen that the author has spliced together a huge story puzzle. Although the plot is excellent and far-reaching, there are still traces of splicing, including some inappropriate complaints and Some obvious slots were made by the author to make four frames, and it can be seen that this is a work completed with the mentality of a craftsman. For example, the emphasis on the setting (there is no way) and the plot to accommodate the setting (the country is turned over by a sneeze and found that the reverse is too stiff here), as well as some common methods in the plot: The uncle in the first episode must be a good man, and there must be a conspiracy in this country; SCAR vaguely felt that this person was carrying a serious reason as soon as he appeared on the stage, and he would definitely team up with the protagonist to fight the boss in the end (but he didn't say "Fuck, it's my family." The mastermind who was demolished is this guy!" I went to fight the boss, but gradually changed to "I want to change this country" and finally put it into my own life, which was handled very well). These craftsmanship is not as consistent as some works, such as the emotional fullness of EVA, the development of ideas under the setting of cyberpunk, the rhythm of interstellar cowboys and chaotic warriors, etc.
Overall it's good, but I don't think it's necessary to review it (although I only reviewed EVA in my review list because I couldn't understand it, and the Chaos Samurai reviewed a little and it seems that it doesn't have the original flavor).
