I honestly wish I could’ve made this a four star but the 3.8 is my actual rating on the topic of story quality and not just some feelings getting ahead of my actions. While I’m not a big fan of your previous works and don’t generally enjoy fast paced story telling, I do believe this was done decently but could still use some work. Fast paced story telling requires a foundation in order to be successful, that foundation being the world building. If the world isn’t interesting enough to draw people in, then going fast is just a quick way to screw your story over big time. Going fast already limits most of what you could do in a slow paced story, such as actual character development readers can be invested in, and extra little details that make your characters just feel more fleshed out instead of cardboard cutouts that only say a simple variation of things pre recorded. But since this is One Piece and most of the world is already built for you, you going fast doesn’t screw you over as much as it should have, which is why 'World Building' is a 3 instead of the 1-2 it should’ve gotten. But sadly that doesn’t completely stop the damage. I enjoy the story very much and look forward to updates, but I’m gonna have to say I won’t be expecting much from it other than a quick but somewhat interesting read. I wish you good luck if you’ve actually read all of that, if you haven’t, well whatever.
