Jiangshi X The Final Chapter: Hope by Norihiko Kurazono - Otakutainment Reviews
Hello, author here! Thank you so much for your review and your valid points. I'll try to address some of them. -The story is admittedly kinda weird because the book was written primarily for me. I was always taught that you should make the sort of thing that you personally enjoy, so that was my main priority. Obviously it makes me very happy to hear that others have enjoyed it too and as long as it breaks even on costs, (which it so far has) I consider it a success. -I like art too and the original concept did have a picture for each chapter, but it would've been too expensive to have each one professionally redone, so I had to scrap it. -I totally understand preferring some large chapters over a bunch of little ones. This is a result of how the book was (and still is) written, which is that I output a single chapter every month. I'm fundamentally a pretty lazy guy, so I needed a system that would keep me productive. -The lack of in-depth descriptions of surroundings and stuff like that is purposeful. I embrace beige prose as opposed to purple prose. I always hated having to read through multiple pages describing rooms and curtains and...everything. So I try to keep things functional and focused on what the characters are actually saying/doing. -Some of the earlier weirdness was probably still me trying to find my footing or overcompensating so as to not give things away too early. You're correct in assuming that more stuff gets explored as the story goes on in future volumes. -Character appearances are described in the story, but only usually once or twice so I don't keep repeating myself. -The Issa vs. Max fight (speaking in-universe) did not need to go down like it did and I'm happy you pointed it out. It happened because Max overreacted to seeing Issa and Zurie poking around the Moreno Group's building and wasn't really willing to hear them out. He was extremely suspicious and Zurie's knee-jerk reaction of trying to mind-control them didn't help the issue. His intention then was to use Zurie to give the Moreno Group as much of an advantage as possible, being an extra Contractor on their side. Once he incapacitated Issa, he would then be leverage to make sure she did what he said until the crisis was resolved. Obviously this ended up being a non-issue given how things turned out. -At the time of writing the final chapter, it felt right to do it the way I did. If asked to defend it, however, I would be unable to do so. It's definitely a choice that I understand not liking. Again, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to give such an in-depth review and I'm glad that you enjoyed the story overall. In terms of content, the second and third volumes are complete and I'm currently working on Volume Four. Here's hoping that you enjoy what's to come as much as I do! EDIT: I totally forgot to address the weird eye thing. This is indeed not explicitly explained in Volume One, but we do get introduced to the concept behind it.
Thank you so much for the detailed reply. It is always nice to get a better understanding about my questions/thoughts from the creators themselves. It is great to know there are already more volumes ready to go. I am even more excited to read them, whenever that may be.
I'm more of a sci-fi guy, so I haven't read your book, but I do like the concept of your book that TheACStories discussed. I also like how the protagonist is college-age instead of the typical high schooler. As for your comment about writing a chapter every month, maybe I should do that, too, to get out of my slump. When I was in high school and college, I used to write a chapter every week on a book series I never published since I wrote it by hand.
@@reidkemper It's really helped me to avoid burnout. I used to aim for one every two weeks, but that was just too much for me, especially with a long-running story like this. If it starts to feel like a chore, then it's time to ease up. This is also one of the reasons I take the month of December off each year, along with all the family gatherings that tend to happen around the holidays.
I read the book and it was okay, although some parts confused me. It's definitely like a Shonen trying to be a murder mystery, battle, and supernatural all at once.
I did like the premise and the idea of a lot of the ideas. It just did not feel like a lot of it was fleshed out enough to be appropriately coherent. I enjoyed it enough that I would read a second volume, but with hopes that there would be plenty of all this cleared up and better understandable.
Thanks for the honest review. I emailed the author your video to check it out.
I enjoyed it regardless of my nitpicking. I really would look forward to reading a second volume and see the potential for where the story can go.
Weird eye stuff going on, lol
I want to know about the R now too
The R seems too random of a stylization to not have some kind of significance. Also, at first I thought Elsi eyes were just some kind of side effect from Zurie repeatedly using suggestion. Seemed a little farfetched to suddenly be like oh I probably have powers I can use right away now.
@@TheACStories that’s what I thought at first, then I wondered if she was just really good at observing things, and the author just explained it like she had superpowers. I do wish that was better explained, or talked about more before it happened at least
Nice video!
Cheers 🥃
I want to try it out one day out of curiosity
You should, it is simple and nice.
Trash take
Well sure because it is a trash manga. Even with more chapters it still hasn't gotten any better.
@@TheACStories gotten way better. Dont continue reading it tho. Please I beg drop it right here and watch it turn to a hit
I seriously doubt it will ever turn into a hit, especially with how WSJ is treating series. If you enjoy it, good for you; I just like actual substance in manga instead of this waterdown copy and paste they keep doing with the exorcist-type genre. I will continue it though because I want to stay up to date on WSJ series.
I think it’s gonna be a good series. We’re just over saturated with Manga.
Now that it is 7 chapters in I can say I am quite enjoying it. The story so far is nothing special yet, but I like the characters enough and the pace is just right for me.
Yo también abrí mi caja platino hace un tiempo y estoy esperando a la segunda edición 😂
Why did bro not throw the clam ball in???
I don't know! I would be mad, whoever that is did still end up getting it in there eventually.
I actually went out and bought B&B today because it intrigued me enough from seeing it on the anime. I really like it! It is $42 a bottle and that makes it a treat I can only indulge in on special occasions. Regular Benedictine seems to be the same price. Not easy to find, but worth the search.
It is an intriguing drink; definitely not what I expected. I am not much of a brandy fan, but the B&B did grow on me. I am glad others are trying new stuff, too!
Hey nice video dude! Been loving this anime, we have been doing similar things to you!
Thanks! I have been enjoying this anime too. I watched the original and glad this one took a more story route this time. You can probably tell, but I normally don't make myself drinks, usually just neat or beer. This has been a fun new thing to do.
Awesome! Well I'm all about Bartending, been doin that for a while at some nice places, just not quite premier Japanese bars 🤣 It's a beautiful anime, really just highlights what I see in it for others who can't see it
Pls pin
Man i don't know what p0rN you watching! ja ja ja nice video my dood!
Well...you know there is a variety. Whether I am the one watching whatever or not 😉 someone else out there definitely must be.
First
Congrats but it not a hard accomplishment for my shorts 🥲
as soon as i heard about the new manga i came here to see if you had a review always ready fr 🔥
Just a fortunate coincidence 👍🏽 too many new series come out for me to always keep up with reviews. Getting better though. What do you think of Astro Royale so far, though? I am still holding out hope it will turn out decent enough at least.
@@TheACStories I honestly just think that it could be a decent story
If it doesn't try to force too much action, I think (and hope) it will be too.
@@TheACStories agreed
Yup, it's a meh. I guess the creator tried to make unique stuff, but his work keeps getting canceled. So he decided to go the generic route.
The sad part is I was really excited for it before reading it. I thought the title page looked cool and never really saw someone do the necromancy angle for a protagonist before. Then it was all just so bleh...
Nice try bucket 2 hits on one dude gets a kill
I was just surprised I did well at all since this was my first time using this weapon. Already moved up to being one of my favorites.
@@TheACStories NICE!
they made a third splatoon?
Yeah it came out some time after the second and first.
What game is this?
splatoon 3 side order dlc
When is the next video?
When I made this I did not realize there were going to be so many more parts, because I thought it was supposed to be a one-shot. I think I am just going to wait until it is over and then review it as a whole, since I am already behind with reviewing parts 2 and 3.
@@TheACStories please do catch up!! And still the video about ManaA!!! It’s cool to see someone talking about it
I will definitely do the video on ManaA. I just want to make sure I can do it justice and really know what I am talking about.
It doesn't bother me. I remember when manga used to be read left-to-right when introduced in the U.S., like you mentioned.
It shouldn't bother me. But, I mainly just don't like the Americanizing it and taking away one of the most unique aspects of manga.
☝️🤓
I remember doing it in 9 seconds using the roll with duallies
I have done it quicker since this, but definitely not in 9. The quickest I have done any floor so far is 19 seconds.
I gave the same birthday as him!
The first chapter I was like this has so much patenchel, and I really wanted to know who Xiaohu real parents were. But, this ending is just disappointing and lazy. Wish it couldn't went a different way.
Yeah I felt the same way. I really thought this was going to be a long series with a bunch of stuff I don't see much in series like this. But, it just didn't turn out as I hoped. Oh well...
If you go under it you can just dodge the stingrays :)
Yepp, that is what I did.
I haven't read the Manga yet,the first one that I am going to is the second one.
Love the games and manga; I can't wait for the manga adaption of the third game to be released in English.
👌 *promo sm*
I have the same birthday as arlong
That could be cool, if you are cool with sharing?
As long as he doesn’t cut me with his sharp nose 🤥
June 7th is my Birthday too!
Nice and wow what a person to share it with!
You were polite, but were you efficient? 🧐
.................no 😞
They need to find better technical guidelines out there for mangakas cuz they are killing the story by putting these guys on absurd time crunches, what's the point giving us stuff to read when they don't give the author and editors more time to make a ART, Shonen Jump is just so unfair, that's why Black Clover left Shonen Jump
The time crunch is definitely a rising issue for the manga world, and everything really. My other problem I want fixed is not giving manga series the time to breath and development. Then it causes creators to have to suddenly rush to a terrible ending when there was obviously a lot more planned. I am almost at the point of not reading anymore Weekly Shonen Jump/Jump+ just because so many good series get cut short. It makes those series so unsatisfying in the end. Like, for example, Jiangshi X...
I feel like the ending is meh because the heroes have to escort the girl again. 🤣
I'll have another video for each of the last two chapter explaining more in the next couple days, but I think the ending is really disappointing just due to how rushed it had to be. Plus, it felt like the author kind of just gave and ran out of time to do a proper final chapter.
This manga is so much retable to me💗🤧💫
I can see it being that way for many, especially when younger.
Mama is from maou(demon king) Yuyu is from Yusha(hero)
That makes sense.
Her birthday is my birthday too 😭😭😭😭😭💗💗💗💗💗💗
Aww nice!
bro predicted them 💀
Ooo rip in peace to your peeps...
you should try jumping as you’re swinging the paintbrush. It allows for a bit more movement.
Jumping exist?
@@TheACStories I hope this is not genuine but yeah you can jump while swinging
It is not. It is just me joking and being a smart ass. I normally jump a lot, just didn't need to in this clip.
I kinda feel like things are a tad bit rushed, I kinda feel like the characters haven't struggled quite enough, or maybe it's just that the events that do happen kinda just happen and move on
Yeah everything at this point has to be rushed. You are right about both. There really has not been much serious struggle or really anything bad seen the beginning. Hopefully whatever these last three chapters do will at least make for somewhat of a satisfying ending. (I usually hate the end of any series, so I do not have high hopes.)
My birthday is july second
Same with mine
Good job man! Those are hard to kill...
Mainly annoying 😑
he not real dude
Damn, you're kidding me. I could have swore some human kid going to a school of monsters to eventually be almost turned into a ghoul was completely based on a true story. The you more know I guess 🤷🏽♂️ Good thing you stopped by and spent your precious time to let me know.
Wtf my guy's playing armored core
Should start this off by saying I'm not a bot, because it may seem a little off - but if you're interested in getting better at Splatoon 3 I'd be willing to coach you to improve your skill!
Hmm very suspicious now 🤔 you say you are not a bot...but you never said you are human 🥸
Good team!
The team pissed me off in the beginning, though. But, they made up for it! (It was also my last win/loss to determine if I rank up, so I was stressed.)
Then a communication error happens
I would say you have no idea how often that really does happen, but unfortunately you probably do know, too.
@@TheACStories if you play the game semi frequently then you definitely know
Bro looks like a discord mod
You don’t need to be a dick about it. You could’ve kept that to yourself.
Damn hate to admit the resemblance, though...
