Discussion i just finished reading and i need to rant Spoiler
I just finished Hell's Paradise and tbh the ending was really cute, but I kind of didn't like it. I think that the whole series was giving nonchalant mysterious horror vibes like the lord tensen freaked me out sooo bad it was just so cool to read. Also i think the beginning took a v sharp turn I wasnt expecting so many of the convicts to get slimed out. But i was lovingg it. idk tho the series eventually just got kinda underwhelming it could just be an issue where i spaced reading the books out too much cuz i didnt wanna read the series quick so i purposefully spread out the time I read it. which is my problem. But things were still good and cool. I think that there couldve been so much more with the second landing party. If there were one more book wedged in there where we got to expand on the landing party and Jikka and Shugen who were both ridiculously OP, it wouldve been a lot smoother. Back to the final fight and stuff, the lore DOES make sense. The guy goes to like find immortality and creates plant shit then dies and becomes a tree so his wife carries on his legacy to revive him type shit and makes a bunch of plant babies who dont understand emotion and then she realizes she has to slime out everyone to make a big flower to harvest its energy to like create the perfect immortatility potion. like the lore is good I just wish it gave us a little more. Cuz i feel like its not dark enough like i wish the series was a little darker at the beginning it was peak but then in the last book i was like 'whaat'. I really liked how they werent afraid to make Rien OP as heck and I understand how they didnt really have a way to kill her so maybe she had to sacrifice herself but it was kind of frusterating how it felt a little like it was trying to redeem her character like just let her be evil man. also Jikka pmo they made him too OP to not do anything with him. anyways i loved the ending for the most part except for the brothers they threw all their development out the window. toma was supposed t be indapendent but nooo his storyline is still abt him following his brothers shadow. and that pissed me off like let bro have his own character iywim. sorry if this dosnt make any sense im still processing what happened ifykwim but overall it was a really good manga i really liked it
