i was super hype before reading this and now that i finished it, kinda felt too rushed and I couldn't empathize with any character, the story was way more simple from what I expected, it still great, but I feel like it could be better, however, I'm waiting for the second part, probably will be what I expected from the first part.
please don't throw shit at me for what I said, I just wanted to know if anyone else felt like I did.

I really loved this manga,but i agree,the Control Devil arc(the last arc)felt really rushed.

For me It really depends on people, I also had the same feeling with another famous anime. I was so hyped but when I read it I couldn't even finish the first chapter. I have a 3 simple explanations for this (I might be wrong though)

1.It's because if so many people hype an anime and you're also pressured to like it that you forget to enjoy the story and characters.

2.If so many groups of people hype an anime you will set that particular series with 10/10, but when you actually finish the series you left disappointed because you already set your standard so high but you found out that the series actually have some flaws.

3.Or maybe you just have a different taste when it comes to Anime/Manga.

Personally I really love Chainsaw Man it's my top 1 most favorite action manga. I already read the big ones by the way like Claymore, Berserk and so many more but Chainsaw Man just hit so different.

Even though the last arc was the arc that made me rate it a 10. It did feel a bit rush.

I honestly doubt anyone will like the second part more, since I don't know what more the writer can do with the story, but if its great im not complaining.
I gave up on character of the week since it takes too much thinking. I'll just change my forum pfp to whoever I want every week lol.

No doubt this is a good series, solid 8/10. This is not a revolutionary new story that will go down in history as the greatest manga/anime of all time that fans hype it up to be. The thing that intrigued me about this series was how it did not follow the same shounen formula and actually had a unique/interesting story with fast pacing and likable characters. Another thing I loved about this series was how grounded in reality it was compared to other series. The power system is believable and literally no character has plot armor (this ends up being a doubled edged sword as there are characters who's stories/arcs I feel like weren't complete when they died).

The plot is amazing but yeah you're right.It was too fast paced and sometimes it seemed rushed.Even I didn't felt anything about the characters.He should've at least wait for sometime for us to get attached to them before killing everyone off.

Nothing is really revolutionary plus people constantly say this but I think most people just advertise that's it's really violent and sexual with fun characters. That is what CSM does have. The reason I give CSM a 9 is the same reason I give a film like Redline a 9. At most you might see some people talk about how the series deals with abuse which it does deal with but I don't understand where all these fans hyping CSM to be an intellectual masterpiece are coming from. I don't see it. You can get excited about stuff that isn't super deep.

Honest thoughts
well I was super hyped to read this manga and was more then ready to give it a spot in my favourites. The first chapter was good as well and then the writer introduced the most edgy cast of characters i could find...
I never had a problem with simple stories infact i love simple concepts done right. more then most complex stories perhaps not to mention the fact that simple stories are able to give you positive energy all the time and many thought provoking concepts as well.
However to me it feels like that the writer tried waay tooo hard to break the common shounen tropes and tried to make this manga unique. But honestly if anything, everything after the first chapter just made me drop the manga several times..
To start with the mc UNIQUE motivation is boobs, THE MOST IDEAL hunters are idiots with no morals or common sense and then just add gore and some edgy dialouge...and that is suppose to be mature(FYI Its not nor does it has themes which indicate that and there is much more to mature then gore and edgy dialouge) not to mention abnormal characters... I barely finished the manga tbh and i did like aki parts in it. Other then that waaaaay too rushed and i know i am repeating myself but edgy. It creates alot of mess as well ngl. So in the end 5/10
And honestly way too overhyped considering how rushed the ending was as well
Woof woof squad is another factor too

I love this manga (that’s why I gave it a 10/10) but I do agree that it felt a little rushed in the pacing, I think if it was stretched out to about 120 chapters from slower pacing and a little more down time it could’ve been better.

I really do agree with this. I don't really care about anyone in this manga tbh. The final third of this manga just went by so fast.

Hopefully this pacing issue is resolved in the 2nd part.

I'm actually surprised it's rated as high as it is. I'd give it a 7. Story was interesting...just rushed. And characters were blah. Except Power. Power best girl.

Juju is far superior manga imo. Better everything pretty much. But to my surprise, rated lower.

Dude you can literally look at my MAL and see how highly I regard it. I don't really care about some random youtuber and considering who you are pointing me too I honestly think you are trolling me lol.

My point is something doesn't have to be really "smart" or "deep" (it's not like that many anime are) or "revolutionary" (not much in fiction is) to be very good. Yet for some reason the community always feels it needs to be. CSM has some interesting themes but there is a tiny % of anime and manga you could really call intellectual fiction and it's hard to say CSM really fits there. It's a really really fun edgy battle shonen not much deeper than that. The fact that isn't enough to some people why others highly regard kinda shows a narrow view of what art can be valued.

Well I agree that it was rushed. This type of mangas are 10x better in anime because their main appeal is Action and gore.

A person who gave a 10 star to a trash like Black Clover is not expected to like this series any way.
