Hi all, new to the quest here. I just found it yesterday morning, and have been binging it since. Right now I am at chapter 213, there's a lot of really good things about this quest and a couple things which really annoyed me. But this is good, because contrasting viewpoints lead to a better overall quest, and everything went the way I like it would be boring.
I really like the originalness of the world, it makes for a much more interesting world, with a lot more depth, than Kishimoto put into it. The whole chakra, beasts, and alien viewpoints of summons, and just wildness of the world is deeply intriguing.
I also really like how most of the characters feel like real people. It's very good to see people react to things and for there to be consequences for actions.
Some of the things that at that chapter point could be improved on, is showing more of the world. What I mean by that is this is explicitly, a death, world, with chakra beasts, holes to the outside, the world itself, mutating animals and people. This really needs to be shown more, and become a larger part of the story, it was going well until the crew joined leaf and then we took a hard left in the political intrigue. I'm not saying the political intrigue is an interesting, but this was supposed to be billed as a death world I would expect to see more of that.
The second thing that bothers me a bit, and this is a personal one, is how the main characters (Hazō, Kieko) come off as incredibly autistic. This might just be a personal thing, but I have met and worked with a lot of people who have autism, and they are even more emotionally aware than these two. It honestly gets annoying reading them, I fully expect it gets better in later chapters, but for now is getting a bit painful to read.
Either way, I am very much enjoying this quest, and I know I've got a lot more to read. I'll check back in when I've read more. Please forgive me if I'm covering something that has already been covered. So far, I've just been reading the story posts.
