Yea, this is what happens when you can't keep your writing under control. You go on a 20 page (or fucking chapter as it felt) tangent writing about a bunch of bullshit that could have been written in 2 paragraphs and had a greater impact. Instead you're left with a bunch of pissed readers and a big ugly scar on your writing.
I've never seen a manga rely on filler or a bunch of contrived bullshit so quickly into it's lifespan. At least Shokugeki waited 150 chapters before pulling this kinda shit.
