Another week in the books. Let's chat about manga in the general discussion thread! Feel free to use this thread for questions, comments, recommendations, etc.

Like normal, please be careful with spoilers. I wrote a guide about spoilers in case you need a refresher on how to handle them (also linked in the sidebar).

What did you think?

I saw that other sites had more chapters, but I would need to refresh myself on what I've already read first, and it seemed that the most notable parts of the original story had been pretty well wrapped up, so I thought there was a possibility that the additional chapters would be less satisfying than the original main story. So I haven't been able to work up the initiative to actually do it yet.

Just to confirm, was this meant to be a reply to someone else? Because Fool Night's main story is still ongoing and expanding, with no signs of ending anytime soon.

No - it was meant for you, and you sort of answered my question then.

I initially read everything that was on Mangadex, which ended shortly after the showdown with the scientist villain on the train.

Granted that there were still a lot of unrevealed details, it still felt to me then that the story was originally meant to end there, but then since it was a success, they decided to keep milking it instead, so were in the process of introducing a mostly new arc. And that's the point at which the Mangadex chapters stopped.

So when I saw that there were more chapters, I was sort of ambivalent about reading them, since I'd first have to reread at least part of the ones I already read to refresh myself in the story, and I thought there was at least a chance that the newer chapters would turn out to not be worth it anyway.

Thus the question...

Got it, I wasn't completely sure hence my question.

The current arc is all about the broader, political "behind the scenes" aspects of the world. There's some thriller vibes with a mostly unknown political group working from the shadows, some brutal action and a lot of investigating into who, how and why. There's also more world building (including dive into more religious aspects) in the recent chapters.
I'm not sure I'm ready to make judgement about this part of the story just yet - there are some things I like, some I'm not too hot about and a lot of my thoughts will depend on whether author can stick the landing with all of this.

All I'm willing to say for now is: it's interesting enough I'm still reading and want to know where it goes. I'll definitely post more if something cool or egregious happens in the future.
