Preliminary (24/50 chp)
after the series was over, one would think any issues has been fixed. NOPE, not even close, if not worse. I'm not gonna add anything more, all my 6 months old complaints permanently exist because taizan was not capable of fixing it till the end. Every aspect is still 1/10.

-the story. wth is this, it's not complicated if you think about it (EDIT: I take that back, it's so all over the place now it's not even funny) but there's no end goal even after +20 chapters. Even if there was one depending on the interpretation, it was not strong enough to feel that is the where the author want to establish. Story, it goes all over the place and do stuffs in a most sluggish way possible. even after the revelation, nothing seems to have changed regarding to the end goal. (EDIT: And no, regaining the memory is not a goal. That's a process. What comes after that? Why is that necessary? Why should I be interested with that? None of that is ever answered.) And lets be real, the first 10 chapters MUST establish what the end goal would be to at least draw the readers. If that part is not made straight, none of the revelation seems impactful because they all leave the question "how good/bad is this for the plot?" No depths, no impact, and becomes irrelevant immediately. If you don’t know where the series wants to land, nothing seems relevant for you. Imagine going to a store and bought something, except you weren’t known what it’s for. You would think, “why did I bought this, what is this for, or how is this gonna benefit me”. And well you just so happened to find out about the usage and what it's for. At the end however, what matters the most is how it benefits you. If that's not fulfilled, a whole essay of good reviews or manual is nothing. This manga has that part missing from the very beginning. The scale of surprise is also nothing, because all of them are not unusual to see in real world. You're honestly gonna make me laugh if you say this is dark: it's pathetically weak because as I said none of the "tragic" element is tragic and is typical to see even irl. Heck tons of real life incident is much worse than what I've seen here, this family is doing better than most of the African family.

-the characters. They develop nothing for a reader. “Nothing" may be too far, though it's not an exaggeration because of the revelation in later chapter. It makes you think "who am I to believe if this person did this or was like this?" even without that, some of them just doesn't feel like they exist due to lack of dialogue. Give them a dialogue and I'd still don't understand what's their role and what's their purpose of existing. Reveal the family member's so-called sin or whatever and it's something I can care less. Here’s one example for sake of credibility. Grandpa has an alzheimer. Okay then, what's the big deal? Am I supposed to be surprised? Like it may be element of surprise, but so what? Is this series gonna go anywhere with this piece of information? It doesn’t, heck just after a chapter or two this piece of revelation becomes irrelevant. But what about the context behind him being alzheimer? There’s nothing. You find about it, the protagonist knows about it, and oh great its the next chapter that has nothing to do with grandpa. it's like this for every family member, some do get into some heavy stuff though not enough for me to NOT say “what do I care“. The introduction for each one of them ends up with, “I now know this person”, but nah you and protag know nothing at the end. Not that it doesn't feel like you want to know more either. Oh and tsubasa is down right the worst protagonist, same level as takemichi in tokyo revenger. He cries and it somehow fix whatever situation he was in, has a mind of a ignorant child, and actually brain dead since he did not fix a single damn thing but thinks he can.

-The title. What about it, you say? Even after 24 chapters the title of this series (specifically the word taizai), there are no real connection between the family and the sins they caused. People speculated each family member resembles 7 deadly sins. Well suppose that's the case, again, so what? This ain't an isekai or some other worldy developed world where you get a power of some sort. But anyways lets get along with the deadly sins, the revealed "sins" so far is not a big deal if you know the context. Might as well say nearly all of them doesn't fit to the deadly sin, let alone be classified as a sin. Making this series realistic is fine, but it ain't getting anywhere and gives little to no impact if all I see is the family members causing some small shenanigans. Even the most abysmal isekai has more straight forward titles, as you would know what the generic protag is gonna do. (as well as letting me know not to go near that thing).

-the art. it's bad, no sugarcoating. Why all of the people got the googly eyes. Why every chapter have one eye squinting and one eye wide open (basically the rock eyebrow raise). I have never seen the most disgusting looking teary eyes in my whole life, they don’t look watery. Alright fine, this is subjective. If you think this is good art, whatever.

I seriously want to know what makes people like this for continuing this far.
EDIT: after 8 chapters and...wow. Story structure is still abysmal, it's not even trying to make sense but think it can make layers like Inception. Obviously it doesn't, the author is not capable of doing such thing let alone make it consistent. The title can't be anymore irrelevant, no such thing as sin or anything because the whole family is in a certain world. Every discussion made is bunch of nonsense and repetitive, or might as well say pathetic because no one tries to solve the problem. What am I supposed to expect when anything they do may end up as "oh it was a dream", or some suspense happening while in middle of suspense? As per usual...who gives a sh*t? Oh but then there's the family past, so at least that would have some cherry on it yeah? Wrong, none of the family's past become anything but an eyesore. Remember how I said grandpa's trait becomes irrelevant? That's still going on after 32 chapters, and just a chapter ago we found out grandma + pa's past. I don't know how many times I've been saying this but wth do I care? Also here's a question: why was that not introduced like in the first 10 chapters? up until now we knew next to nothing about her, except that she pushed off that "guy" off a cliff for no reason. But we only knew about that, so what's the normal reaction about learning her past on top of that? "Why should we ever sympathize you? Why should I care?" Side note: her past doesn't redeem anything, color me surprise.
