Last week, I checked out Though I Am an Inept Villainess since it topped Anime Corner’s weekly ranking.
I found it to be a very entertaining watch, though I’d say the Anime Corner voters overhyped it. Nevertheless, I’d be following it for the rest of the season.
I also tried Ranking of Kings. I made it through 14 episodes (out of the 23 episodes) before giving up on it.
If I have to sum my experience in one line (or one picture), it’s this:
I can’t stand manga that’s well-made and nothing more.
Like, the animation is decent, and there were some minor twists early on to make the story a tad more interesting.
But that is all. It’s just a plain old cookie-cutter vanilla story and nothing more. In other words: it’s boring.
It was so disappointing, considering its high rating on AniList.
