ART
I'll start of with it's redeeming features. The art is decent so there is that but almost near the end around 90% in the art changes, someone else was brought in and replaced the original artist. After being used to the original art, you can't but help feel the newer style is inferior.
STORY & CHARACTERS
The story isn't really that compelling it's just a generic 'people crash on island and there are monstrous creatures' is pretty much it. Throughout it you get tid bits of small background flashbacks to some of the characters but it's very minimal, what I found the worse was the main character wasn't really delved into, so she just comes off as someone who knows a lot of information and whenever a situation occurs it's just her giving out full explanations.
And worst part of the entire manga is the characters, pretty much everyone is an awful person in which you think to yourself "I don't like anyone of these people, they are so annoying, I hope they hurry up and die so we can move on". Because pretty much everyone is detestable, you don't get attached to the characters, out of all of the survivors there is only one person you notice who seems normal while everyone else is twisted. To me that was a key sign of poor writing in how you were able to immediately discern who is a likeable character and everyone else is someone you should hate.
To put it simply, this manga was frustrating to read. A story that didn't feel like it progressed and filled with characters that you 'had to put up with' and finally realising this of all things was chosen to get an anime adaptation leaving you wonder if you are the one who is missing something.
This genre of horror-survival-stuck-on-an-island has been done many a times with many mangas that have enticing plots and characters. This manga is not one of them.
