Re: This is getting annoying
I don't know why some people complain. I like the story and I think it's good so far. Most guys on here likes fancy artwork and badass fighting scenes and mistake that for a good manga, while the most important thing is the story. Naruto is a manga (graphic novel)... Not just a cartoon.
I bet most of them haven't read a lot of books without pictures in a while...
Your not looking at the bigger picture. when kishi first started the manga, he wants us readers to understand that there is no good or evil, people just change their views on things depending on what they have gone through in their life. He uses the conflicts in naruto to portray this idea. but here is the annoying part, he keeps pushing and enforcing the same idea in our faces throughout the entire series. Its literally an endless loop of the samething...
1. naruto gets into a conflict with an "evil" character
2. naruto relates to that "evil" characters feelings and past
3. Then he persuades that "evil" characters to come to his/her senses
I understand that as a writer you must get out your ideas and thoughts, but to use the same idea in every conflict is just boring and dull. Its boring because you as a reader can see whats going to happen in the story next. The story becomes predictable and everybody knows that can be the most worst thing that can happen to a story. As a writer, your job is to keep your readers in a thinking state when they are reading your work.
Even though majority of the storyline were predictable, some events in the story wasnt, like how neji all of a sudden died or even when kisame fed himself to his pet sharks. These kind of events catch my eye because they were unpredictable, and it had me thinking kishi wasnt afraid to end a major characters life without him showing any type of long honorable flashback of this character. in my opinion, these things make the storyline good.
