The show starts with a Mary Sue Japanese surgeon who is forced to decide on whether to operate on a dying child who came to him first or some rich dying politician whom his father in law, the hospital director, wants him to operate on first. Hilarity ensues as our conscientious mary sue combats the peer pressure of his awfully caricatured evil looking coworkers, wife, and father in law to save the life of the child cause first come first served is the foundation of modern civilisation. Actually, JK, he had some weird caricature of a mourning woman whose husband died come to him and tell him he's such a good doctor so he could've saved him reeee. Said woman's ramblings convinced our hero that it would only be morally right to operate on the child and not the politician (evil occupation+rich+first come first served bitch!)
Following this apparently there's a breakdown in a lot of his important human relations and his career, but worry not, the author has a plan to bore you with a pseudo-profound exploration of morality as the child this surgeon saved is about to turn into a full fledged psychopath. Our conscientious Mary Sue from hereon gets a new self actualization goal, to stop this wanker from swatting more of these jojoverse charas/ BBM caricatures.
If you don't already see the issue in the type of work it's turning out to be, no problem, just combine that with what I'm about to talk about. Did you notice how all the side characters except our surgeon MC look like ugly bastards from NTR hentai? If not, try looking around a little. They seem to exist there to contrast as unsubtly as possible our mary sue MC with the rest of the characters in the story who lack his moral greatness. Afterall, the point of the story is to explore the moral distress of our Mary Sue. The characters don't just look like ugly bastards, they exhibit exactly the values you see on their faces and they also do this just as unsubtly. It's there to accentuate the Mary Sue nature of the MC.
The show looks overly serious and drab as if it actually is a serious work with a lot of thought put into it, but actually it is very unsubtle, dull, and barebones where all the developments feel forced and the absolute lack of viscerality in the scenes make it so easy to spot what the author is trying to do with the caricatures and our mary sue. It only works to accentuate the aforementioned contrast to levels it shouldn't reach. This contrast then just highlighs how artificial the story writing is where you see moment to moment what the author is making the character do and why. It's like seeing the seams of a cloth along with the cloth THROUGHOUT the episode. See you can tell these things, but usually you have to put effort into making it out, Like "oh the author made her say this, that actually helps bring out the feeling of tenderness between the charas, and that he is trying to show she is that much more comfortable with him now than at the start of the show" etc. Monster isn't like this, it's in your face from moment to moment, every moment. Extremely unsubtle and extremely low effort, like just see the dull moral dilemma that started this dull show in para 1.
The plot is so generic that I don't know what to watch it for and then there's all this, just imagine what you're in for in 74 eps. It might work as an afternoon soap on TV, but this is competing with anime with all its animeisms. The only animeism here is the caricatured faces, but the content is from an uninspired afternoon TV soap. With caricatured characters like these likely jojo kind of comedy might work, just make it more memey internet red pill kind of trashy with waifu beating humour and what not. This is irredeemable stuff. 1/10.
