/a/

> be me
just finished eps 1–3 of Lord of the Mysteries (LOTM)
honestly, it’s good
story is fast-paced, maybe a bit too fast at the start
doesn't mean it's bad, just feels like they're cramming a lot of info early on
tons of discoveries, mysteries, and world elements dumped in your face
kinda overwhelming ngl
like, I get they're trying to build intrigue, but it can get confusing if you're not 100% focused
still, I respect the effort
the amount of detail in the worldbuilding is actually impressive
every scene feels like it has weight, lore, and intention
you can tell the source material is solid and they're not half-assing the adaptation
MC has potential, setting is fresh, and I like the darker tone
I'd give it a fair 8.5/10 based on eps 1–3
not masterpiece tier yet, but definitely way above average
could easily jump to 9+ if the pacing evens out and the plot gets tighter
checked IMDb
LOTM rating was 9.4/10
now dropped to 9.3/10
ep 1 had 9.2/10
now 9.1/10
maybe some people bouncing off the confusing start
shame really, because it’s got real potential
not gonna blindly shill it, but it deserves a fair shot
if you haven’t watched it yet, at least give the first 3 eps a proper go
and if you have, rate it honestly
IMDb, Crunchyroll, whatever
don’t let it get buried under mid seasonal trash

Infodumping does not constitutes with good world building nor story.
If a writer can't even do the basic narrative exposition that flows naturally, it means it is an utter failure.
Just like LOTM.

some anon: "infodumping = bad writing, if exposition isn't natural, it's a failure"
kinda agree, but also not that simple
LOTM definitely throws a ton of shit at you in eps 1–3
terms, factions, powers, lore, systems
brain feels like it’s getting DDOS’d by fantasy vocab
but calling it a "failure" is a bit much
worldbuilding is actually deep and well-crafted
the issue is the delivery, not the content
some people want things spoonfed with flashbacks and narration
LOTM expects you to pick up clues and connect dots as it goes
like yeah, it could flow better
some of the exposition feels dumped, not earned
but it’s not "utter failure" tier
it just assumes you're paying attention
also pretty faithful to the source material, which is dense af
honestly?
I'd rather a series that has too much to say than one that has nothing to say at all
mid shows hold your hand
LOTM throws you into the deep end and trusts you’ll swim
not for everyone, but not bad writing
cope harder

”Chinese shill”
bro we watching anime, not jerking it to geopolitics
cope harder lmao
you can dislike LOTM, but calling it garbage just because you don’t get it isn’t a take
not everyone wants their plot spoonfed like Demon Slayer tier baby writing
LOTM’s got actual worldbuilding, themes, mystery
yeah, the pacing and exposition in ep 1–3 are rough
but if you had the attention span of more than a fruit fly you’d see the potential
read a book sometime, maybe touch the light novel
or just keep crying about “shills” every time a show makes you think
either way, thread’s better without terminal contrarians who can’t form real arguments

anon, you’re literally on a board dedicated to Asian media
what did you think the "a" stood for? American animation?
you're like a vegan throwing a tantrum in a steakhouse
if seeing non-Japanese stuff triggers you this hard, maybe the problem isn’t the shows
it's you
filter your threads and stop embarrassing yourself
also fun fact: most anime is partially outsourced to Korean/Chinese studios anyway
you’ve probably been watching "gook cartoons" this whole time

Holy KEK this is the most transparent fake shilling thread I have seen, since the chink doesn't even know how 4chan works.

It's alright buddy, LotM has some fans on /a/ unlike gook leveling which is a garbage media. You will get some threads.

incredible levels of cope in this thread
calls it fake shilling because someone wrote more than 3 words
"jannies are paid off"
"chinkshit"
you guys okay? did LOTM steal your waifus or just your attention spans?
yeah the show's got flaws — exposition-heavy, fast pacing — no one denied that
but calling it garbage while jerking off Shinsekai Yori like it's flawless is peak irony
SSY had entire episodes of dry lectures and monologues, but sure, that was “art”
meanwhile LOTM gets labeled “bad infodumping” for expecting you to follow a mystery plot
just say you’re filtered and move on
also lmao at pretending /a/ isn’t 70% chart threads and seasonal bait anyway
go back to crying about jannies and pretending you're saving the board
you're not the resistance, you're background noise

no arguments
just scream “chink” 5 times and call it a day
impressive stuff, really
imagine being so allergic to structured thoughts that you call it “rambling”
thread could be discussing storytelling, pacing, worldbuilding — y’know, anime-related things
but instead we get brainlet geopolitics and skinwalker-tier paranoia
“falseflag thread” lmfao
bro you’re on /a/, not in a spy thriller

Maybe in Chinese your thoughs appear to be more structured, but your excessive use of linebreaks and short clipped statements make it seem like you are rambling. It appears to other posters that you can barely understand what you are reading, which makes it difficult to take you seriously. Try to structure your thoughts, not like a Chinese, but like an English speaker and perhaps you will be taken more seriously. Also, try to use English grammar, I know it's difficult for because Chinese doesn't have that. But even trying would go a long way.

>thread could be discussing storytelling, pacing, worldbuilding — y’know, anime-related things
It could, but there's nothing to say, there's no storytelling, the pacing is dogshit and worldbuilding is nonexistent. What do you want to talk about with regards to this thing? There's nothing there.

It's much more fun to make you seethe, so why wouldn't people try to provoke you instead?

But I have, what worldbuilding is there, it's just cultivation garbage? What storytelling is there, it's just things happening, without any coherent thread. The pacing is breakneck and constantly interrupted by Chinky "we need to spend our budget on something" nonsense like the shots where a rat runs up a pipe for no reason.

Low-IQs will struggle with the pacing, but that’s the least of its issues. Chinese VAs are just awful. Zero-talent cinematograph, just spastic try-hard dynamic action shots for CG slop which do nothing but hurt the scene. Isekai junk food which somehow manages to be pretentious about it AND pretend not to be isekai.

The problem is that it never lingers on anything, most of the shots are close ups with weird camera angles and the number of cuts is genuinely deranged.
I think they're trying to edit around the shitty CGI they're using everywhere, but it just makes it feel like nothing is happening.

I never said that it did. I made a statement about style, not technology.

This is discourse about art. I know you Chinese live in a society largely devoid of artistic expression, so you don't really understand this line of argument.

That's actually a good advice, there's something really weird about the way Chinese people speak English. Like sometimes it's not even grammatically wrong but the way it's worded and structured just feels bizarre and they love using some weird epithets and analogies out of nowhere (that's my impression).
But yeah if you want to post here you'd better lurk 10 years before posting.
