3. 📉 Over-explanation and Breakdown of Character Consistency Pointed Out
· Many criticize that the dialogue has become too explanatory, losing emotional depth, tension, and impact.
· Characters' actions and dialogue frequently lose consistency and become contradictory. (e.g., Kirin-game's character setting, Loki's dialogue, the giants' weak statement 'we can't kill a friend')
· Story progression is difficult for readers to understand due to omitted processes, such as when Usopp joined Brook or why he's suddenly fighting alone.

· There are suspicions that the author is attempting to force in Usopp's活躍 (activity/success) in response to reader feedback.
· Complaints are also raised that scene transitions are too abrupt and frequent, making it difficult to follow the story.

4. ⚔️ Dissatisfaction with Battle Depictions and Story Progression Methods
· Battle scenes are often omitted or used merely as tools to justify Luffy's reasons for fighting.
· Zoro's battles are criticized for lacking differentiation or variety in movement compared to the past, with only the technique names changing while his sword-wielding style remains similar.
· The tension in battles has decreased as the 'cannot kill a god' setting suddenly changed to 'if they die, their demonization is undone,' causing enemies to fall too easily.
· The God's Knights were depicted as overwhelmingly strong, but their actual combat power is criticized as sloppy, as they barely defeat one opponent in a 3-on-1 fight.
· The method of dismembering and abandoning enemies is seen as lacking originality, similar to Buggy's or Vergo's fighting styles.
· Complaints are raised that the art style is unnatural and panel division is excessive, making the manga difficult to read.
· Franky's line 'We've become too strong' sounds arrogant and fails to resonate, especially since their strength relies on Vegapunk's technology.
· Criticism is directed at Kirin-game's severed head being treated like a prop, and the unnatural depiction of a character's son seemingly rejoicing at his parent's defeat.
· Complaints are also raised that some characters, like Obega, have been ignored without any significant activity for 18 chapters since their introduction.
