The cast of characters must be one of the most uninspired I've seen in any manga: made up almost exclusively of underdeveloped, shallow, edgy anime character tropes that we've already seen a thousand times, frequently changing their personalities on a whim or having a huge development in a ridiculously short amount of time only to accomodate the new story direction that the author wants to take. A story that is always going way too fast, constantly prioritizing cheap shock value or dumb plot twists over a more careful, thoughtful approach. A narrative littered with constant flashbacks seemingly to distract readers from the lack of any interesting developments in the present storyline. The only thing saving DeadMan Wonderland from a lower score are the previously mentioned good ideas and the fact that, just like a good bad movie with friends, the writing often gets so outlandishly bad that it's greatly entertaining and enjoyable to laugh at.
