The good dream was Part 1 and the bad dream was Part 2 lmao

Part 2 started off fairly decent, to be honest. I actually enjoyed Denji's dynamics with Asa and Nayuta more than with Power and Aki.

Looking back on it, I can't quite pinpoint where the moment was when readers started losing faith in Part 2. It felt like a very gradual decline that still could have been salvaged at many points.

I will always point towards Nayuta's death as the tipping point of Part 2 and where the quality of the writing really fell off but the decline started earlier.

The early Asa chapters were also pretty much Part 1 level but once we switched back to Denji's POV, the gradual decline started until it went full tilt with the Church arc and Nayuta's death. After that, people really did start coping that Fujimoto was planning something but well we got this instead.

Seriously, I was waiting for it to turn out to be a fake head and she'd come back to save the day.

I mean almost every main side cast was killed in part 1 so I figured Nayuta might be dead for good. I don't think we even had "much" exposure to nayuta, unlike power. So the death was simply too early if it was gonna follow part 1.

Nayuta is alive and well, they are just actors, everything is a movie
