Nemuri no Fuchi was okay. The beginning plot had potential, but the writer most likely lacked the skills to properly develop and write the story well. After chapter 7 it began to get confusing. Characters were introduced too quickly with little development, the storyline twisted many times, and too many tiny details were added that really gave nothing to the MAIN story. The main character feels very plain and lacks the depth I would like to see when reading something. It's not boring enough to not recommend, but it's also not that interesting.
[SPOILERS BELOW]
The whole plot consists of this mysterious maze "universe" that shows itself in random places on earth. It follows our MC Shuuhei who lost his friend to the maze years earlier. He blames himself for his friends disappearance, and so he goes on a mission to find her within the maze. Sounds promising! After he "finds" her the first time, the story gets confusing.
We learn that this maze needs to “connect itself” to a universe to survive, and Shuuhei’s friend is the chain. Also that time travel is possible. And that a private organization wants to benefit off the maze. And there’s a mad scientist living inside the maze. All in that order! They're also never developed upon, so don't expect to hear about any of them more than once.
Through Shuuchi’s time travel to prevent his friends disappearance, he alters the future which in turn makes everything that much harder to follow and understand. It ends with Shuuchi finding her (who could've guessed), and it turns out the whole story was just her bad dream! Pretty boring ending for a storyline that had a decent amount of potential.
Overall, the art is cool looking sometimes, but it’s for when you’re bored and have nothing better to read.
