| I feel that more recent arcs are much worse, then the first 3. Maybe it's because of the pacing, or the fact that this can be one of the last arcs, and if it finishes that early, so many things will be unanswred. To me it really droped the ball. What are your thoughts about it? |

| Yes, somehow the story seems a bit rushed and forced. I get that the author probably decided the finale long ago and now everything is playing out for that finale. But still, it feels off and not as interesting as the arcs before. |
  |
| I stopped reading this manga altogether. It all went downhill after they escaped from the farm. |
| I want to drop this manga too but I'm not sure. I'll probably drop it soon. |
 |
| I thought the first arc was great. Its anime adaptation was even better. Goldy Pond had its moments. It fell off a cliff once they escaped from there (Goldy Pond). Everything else has been rubbish for the most part. |
| Well, everything that was after the first arc wasn't all that interesting to me personally. So, I didn't have high expectations for this arc as well. I can sympathize with people that are disappointed, but even with all of its flaws I believe that this manga is worth reading. I really don't understand why would anyone drop it, in the final arc? |

| It's been losing its way for a long while now. Lost its identity, which is a pity because it originally presented something so unique and fresh. The whole thing in the seven walls was so out of place and ridiculous; didn't fit anything we'd been presented with about this world. And now it's just plain boring. I don't really care who wins or loses anymore. But I've been reading this manga for 3 years, I'm not gonna drop it in the final arc. I wish I could enjoy it more, though. |
| This is all probably due to the possible fact that the author doesn't have sort of overall storyline. But I might be wrong. |

| The series peaked at the Grace Field House. Everything after that is just going down and down. The series strong point was the psychological and mind games but those no longer present and it turned into action adventure series and not a good one. |

| These comments are very depressing, I like promise neverland and I have only watch the anime and read like 39 chapters and I think it is a solid 7/10, if persons are saying it gets worse later on, this kinda make me unmotivated to continue. |

Do not listen to people, read it yourself and decide. The number of haters on this platform surprises me..... :( Yeah, I will still give it a go, was just surprised by the overwhelming majority in this thread saying the quality has dropped. |
| I think the series is doing fine. I still enjoy it as much as I always have, which is a lot. |
| Introduction- Meh Jailbreak- Probably one of my favourite arcs Promised Forest- I thought this one was pretty good too Search for Minerva- Thought this one was enjoyable overall Cuvitidala- Worst arc |
  Life has no meaning, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't live it  |
| Yes, the first arc set the bar too high, so everything else after that looks shit |

| After the grace field arc, I put it on pause because I wanted to marathon it and not have to wait weekly... now I have to wait weekly. It didn't fall off for me, it kept its suspense and pacing going, granted the gracefield arc is still the hallmark of the series but the rest are not significantly worse that they screw everything up like similar stories (e.g Maze Runner, Hunger Games). I think Emmas decision really adds depth to the story. |
| The first arc was definitely the best one. I really dislike the Seven Walls and "demon god" idea. I also dislike how the demons who at the beginning seemed to be the biggest threat, were easily dealt with and the humans have become the true problem for the children. The humans have killed more of Emma's group than the demons did after they escape the farm. C'mon dude, did you really pull the "race card" here? There is nothing here that involves racism and prejudice...they are enemies. They are predator and prey and all demons with the sole exception of Musica, ate humans (Sonju stopped eating them, but just because of his belifes. He made it clear that he wanted to go back to eat them again). The story says that if they don't eat they degenerate so it's a proven fact that they keep eating humans monthly. Even the demon who raised Ayshe ate humans too. If this isn't enough reason to be enemies with ALL OF THEM then i don't know would it be. Of course, Musica is there just so Emma can go "the everyone lives route". Without her and her "power" the demons would have to be killed or be left to die without humans to eat. |

Of course, Musica is there just so Emma can go "the everyone lives route". Without her and her "power" the demons would have to be killed or be left to die without humans to eat. Alright, perhaps I phrased that the wrong way. It's more of the saying: "It is better that ten guilty persons go free than one innocent to suffer". Of course, what if those 10 guilty people were to run around and murder more people? It's easy for me to say that its statistically significant enough that we have a 90%+ success rate, and that 1 dude will just have suck it up and die for this flaw, but when it's my innocent life on the line, you guys can fuck off. I'm not dying for some guilty fuck that's on the loose. Emma, in her own way, reminds me of Azula from ATLA: "Almost isn't good enough" and the message i got from the series is that either i can play it safe and rational, thinking for the rest of my life: "what if I went the other way?" or go all in and risk it all. The Ratri family embodies the choice of safe, cynical rationality, at the cost of losing their humanity and Emma is supposed to be the opposite. |

Yeah sacrificing one for the good of many can be controversial. I'd rather kill 9 guilty people and maybe 1 Innocent than let 9 guilty and 1 innocent free. There are many who agree with this, but when it's their time to be the sacrifice they won't want it. I liked how you said you didn't want it either XD But in the case of the story, i'm not sure if i agree with the first Ratry guy who betrayed all the other warriors and made the promise. He did want to end the war, and it most likely saved a lot of people but also put many others to death. It's indeed a difficulty choice, but i probably would prefer fighting the demons as long as there were chances of winning. Personally though, i hate characters like Emma. "Being merciful to your enemies is being merciless to your friends." If Emma could she would have saved even the queen and for me this would be insanity. |

| got it on hold for now, shame it was one of my favorites. |
| misato > asuka > rei |
| No, I enjoy the later arcs quite a bit. |
| Down on the West Coast They got a sayin' |
| I think the genre has changed, it's completely different from the beginning. |
 |
| Haven't read it in a while but for me it picked in the first arc, goldie pond was good but I kinda lost interest after that |
Raon said: I think the genre has changed, it's completely different from the beginning. Yeah something about the manga feels different from how it started. There was a lot of mystery in the beginning and nice twists, but now it's a bit confusing and not as enticing as it was before. I started it as a 10/10 from reading the first arc and then the goldie pond arc, but now I'm starting to consider moving it from 7/10 to 6/10. :( |
   |
| First arc was too good, Goldy Pond was good too overall. But after that it just went downhill in comparison to the two arcs I mentioned. I mean Grace Field was an easy 9, it's not easy for an author to keep that quality for such a long series, it's sad but understandable. |
 |
| Yes.I don't feel much interested anymore.It just feels like another 'kids geniuses vs aliens' series.Writing becoming worse and worse.Character moments are not as bright as they used to be.I liked Norman's moments, but now he doesn't even talk that much.Ray, despite being the best boy, seems absent for most part of story and we have lots of naive Emma(aka generic shounen protagonist) moments.Looks like the author wants to make the story infinite and I'm already bored of it. It's rated 5.5/10 in my list now.I still have good memories of it, but there are too little of them. P.S. if you are looking for good modern shounen, I recommend you to read Beastars manga. |

| I hate everyone equally |
| I'm easily pleased when it comes to anime and manga, and I loved the first arc, but yeah I too felt like the quality decreased in the last arcs I feel like the manga is heading towards a happy and quite naive ending, not sure I like that |
| Welp, lol the manga has ended. So after 9 months of this thread existing the result is pretty obvious. It's sad to see when something really good becomes a dogshit in a span of just 1 year. Anyway big thanks to everybody who voted in the poll. |

frankykun13 said: It is true that there was decline in quality after first arc , but I think it was exactly because the first arc was truly a masterpiece and it was hard to surpass that high expectation from there.. imo the quality dropped (at least) twice. nothing was close to the first arc but i still enjoyed the next 70 or 80 chapters but roughly the last third of the series got worse again and declined as the series went on. |
