Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (163/181 chp)
Minor spoilers but no specifics mentioned

The 1st 50 chapters of The Promised Neverland are amazing but then the author had no were else to go. It feels like the author came up with an interesting and unique idea but didn't think of what to do next.

It just turns into a generic young adult story where kids need to overthrow the corrupt government. The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner and Divergent are all stories that fall down the same trap. They all have an interesting original concept that eventually breaks down and turns into a story of children overthrowing a corrupt government. I see no reason to read The Promised Neverland over any of the other stories I mentioned. If you've read one you've read them all.

Emma is the ultimate Mary Sue character. She just magically gets every other character to do what she wants by politely asking them to a point where all other characters become irrelevant later in the series. Ray just turns into a yes man that agrees with whatever Emma is thinking.

Overall I would recommend reading the first 50 chapters then stopping. The quality of the story plummets afterwards and it doesn't feel the same.
