Never have I more regretted my personality quirk that won't let me quit before finishing a series.
This is the single most cliched & trite, boring and warped (in a bad way) series I've watched in quite a while.
It "samples" heavily from a ton of other series / Anime (I don't want to be accused of Libel), from the main characters that look like SAO knockoffs with slight differences to a creepy vampire romance.
The "Deus ex machina" trope is so heavily abused in almost every episode it's absurd.
The art is below average, the story / character development and dialog is trash.
I mean what bad guy refers to his/her own "Guild" as an "eminently sinister organization..."
Every chance they had to advance the story the ball was dropped, from skipping the training montage trope to bypassing critical conflict scenes (hero confront enemy, quickly cut to hero having capturing key character they skipping any good dialog that could have been slipped in.)
For those who are curious a hebephile is one attracted to those on the cusp of puberty, typically ages 12 to 14.
