I don't think anyone hates it, they are just disappointed or unsatisfied with it. Like the start and escape arc was so good that no other following arc could measure up to it and other stuff like stakes not really feeling risky or everything going way to well, side-characters hardly having much time to shine because they get constantly overshadowed by the three geniuses, etc. I guess there are various reasons why many, but not everyone, ain't quite happy with TPN.
While I do feel like it has lost some steam since the goldy pond arc I feel like it’s a bit of an over reaction to say it is a bad ending. I honestly have felt the last few chapters have been well executed.
Really? I found
I think the same, a bit rushed and a bit too preachy for my taste but all in all it wasn't bad. I think what was subpar was the build-up from the escape arc until this final arc. It felt hmmmmm "patched" like sometimes solutions came too quickly or problems resolved on their own and the change from intellectual mystery to regular action wasn't done so well either. But that doesn't belong here.
Kuroko no Basuke for me. The first time I read it I couldn't continue past the first practice match, then a few months later I tried to brave it through and found that it becomes really good.
It's just the regular new series CP that's 'as thanks for the explosive popularity'.
I can think of series from other magazines like WSM (*cough* Blue Lock/Orient *cough*) that perfectly fit that scenario but I cant think of any from WSJ that started off really bad only to get better later on. Which is probably from the fact that WSJ is strict regarding what new series stays or gets axed. There's definitely series that started off meh tho.
A bit of a strange case for me but, with Chainsawman I got quite hooked with the first chapter but wasnt completely feeling some the next ones and put it on hold. After some time, I think when the series was a year old I decided to pick it up again and binge read the whole thing (this probably was what made it more enjoyable), and actually got hooked again, specially with the Katana man arc. Definitely feel that binge reading it helped a lot.
I feel like it more so has to do with a series growth, the expectations editorial has for a series, and how much they invested into a series.
They not bad beginnings but kind of meh for me was world trigger,kimetsu,haikyuu, and gintama
