Assassins Pride

So addressing the elephant in the room,... It's pretty uncomfortable to see fanservice of girls under 14. And the fact that they are shipping so hard the main characters while one is an adult and the other isn't even close to being one. Having said that, the story is interesting and quite enjoyable on the very first chapters to say the least. Madia's arc was great but that's about it, the story is fast paced at the very first arcs which makes it easier to read in my opinion. But aside from the mcs the side characters are pretty much dull and they get a little to none character development. Talking about dullness the comedy is practically nonexistent (unintentionally) and the few jokes that are actually funny are outweighed by the shitty or the lewd ones (as I said the characters ar mostly underage which makes it even worse).
The plot as a whole feels like a massive unfinished sketch, every arc has at least 2 or more unaddressed plot holes that are never explained, which lead to my next point, the filler panels, at least 7 of the 30-40 pages of each chapter are filled with empty like panels which could have been used for the sake of explaining a bit better some of the important parts of the story.
The story lacks actual suspense and even with the hole "we are putting our lives on the line" thing you can't feel the threat, there's no surprise whatsoever, the story being so predictable doesn't help either. I'm concerned about how the story will conclude, there's a lot of topics unaddressed and just 13 chapters left, I would say it's pretty mediocre so far. And to be honest I'm not eager to keep reading it.

Good points
-Melida and Elisse are the best characters of the bunch getting actual development
-the antagonists are pretty charismatic and make you actually care about their story

Bad points
-Sexualizing 14 yo
-A LOT of fanservice
-a bunch of side characters that just exist for the sake of appearing for 2 chapters, after that their only role is filling the background so it isn't empty
-the Mc gets no development at all apart from the 5 first chapters
-lacks the feeling of actual threat
-their world which seems pretty vast and interesting, gets absolutely ignored leaving it as a white canvas
-the story is predictable in most of the arcs
-A lot of topics get swept under the carpet for the sake of a fast paced story
-The writing is pretty bad creating a heck bunch of plot holes
-Some of the antagonist are just bad because the plot needs them to be, orphanello being the best example of this issue
-a hell bunch of filler panels for the sake of doing 30-40 pages.

So in conclusion, this manga is pretty shitty, some moments were so forced and cringy (the romantic ones) that I thought I was reading a wattpad written by a 12 yo lol. maybe I'll read it till the end with the hope of it getting any better, but if you haven't read it don't even bother with this fiasco of a story, the base idea is pretty great but the execution was terrible.
