Why did everyone lose interest in Watamote?

lack of updates regarding a second season. When something remains unconfirmed for an extended period, people find it challenging to maintain their initial enthusiasm. This can lead them to lose interest and move on. Also, many modern anime fans mindlessly consume anime and then move on to the next thing. They don't have the obsessive tendency to create crazy theories or fan clubs about a few anime, which unironically helps the anime's lifespan because it keeps the community engaged.

It still has threads every new chapter. For a manga that old, that's impressive if anything.

Most people still into it are pedos lusting after Moko
Most of the love for it was when it was a pure /a/core cringe comedy about a femanon utterly fucking up basic human interaction
That is now currently only a tiny sliver fraction of the entire IP. Within a couple dozen chapters, the socially awkward hateful misanthropic sperg aspect died out, and all that was left was the painful cringe comedy, but that only works if Tomoko is still a total butt monkey, and even that wound up getting phased out even if it took many years and the cringe comedy by itself isn't why anyone cared about it but WHAT the cringe was about
Without any of that, all you have is a cute teenage anime girl hanging out with a bunch of friends. Tomoko might as well become Konata at this point.
And the sad fact is, it's only the first slice of the story anyone knows or cares about because that's the only part that ever had an anime adaptation. Even the creator herself admitted that it was fail-daughter loser Tomoko that even gave the manga life or a fanbase. For all intents and purposes, the anime is the only "true" Watamote and the manga after the end of it is Tomoko's increasingly normie lesbian dream after she slipped on a banana peel and entered a permanent irreversible coma

Lesbo rapist Tomoko who doesn't realize she's being a lesbo rapist is based, but I wish there was still more social awkwardness in it
Like the friend group is pitying Tomoko the entire time rather than magically revolving around her so you get the best of both worlds of her still being a desperately lonely self-hating stinky /b/tard and also harassing a bunch of lesbians

Because most fans of such shows are miserable crabs in a bucket who just want to watch a visually appealing person wallow in the same misery forever and never get out.

Because the manga is shit. The dialogue, the characters, the art, everything is way worse than before. Tomoko only appears to say something lewd or act like a dyke.

We recognized the fakeness and gayness of the premise. Even an "ugly asocial" girl like Tomoko would be fucking near-chads only and ignoring even the "nicest looking /a/non" tier guys who would like to make her their tard wife

When will tomoki realize he's a siscon?

His obliviousness is maddening.

Also, Asuka will have her day of R. Tomoki ain't safe for long.

It's weird to look back on it. It was originally going to be cancelled because Japs didn't read it. It only kept going because they noticed Westerners were reading it. But when it started to pick up in Japan, it started to pander more towards the sensibilities of Jap readers, which killed the original following it had in the West.
It never recovered after the cultural festival shit.

I am Japanese. Watamote used to be updated on the official website at noon, and 2channelers would flock to it at that time to talk about it, creating a buzz. However, at one point it was only updated through the app, which led to inconsistencies in access to information, making it impossible for everyone to share topics, and the buzz on the internet came to an end. This was a clear failure.

Too many characters. Too boring. Tomoko is literally the only reason their shitty series exists. But she barely appears and is now a lesbian normalfag with many friends. If anything it should be axed but the authors are going to milk the shit out of this garbage. Btw Yuri is the only good character they have introduced. She is what Tomoko should be.

Fucking festival arc for that went on for 7 years and is still not finished. Also hasn't been any character development since like Disneyland.
