Back when I was reading chapter 7 I was excited with the direction of where the story could go. The direction really hyped up the rivalry between Sasaki and Aino which was refreshing especially in the male dominated manga industry.

But really this ended to abruptly and the pace was too fast so I was disappointed by the ending. Too many timeskips and definitely not enough time for the characters to be built so there was no actual rivalry, and the story really skips over a lot of manga writing process, which I suppose was never the focus, but jam packing the theme of the story at the very end was rather disappointing. Aino was simply thrown in as a damsel in distress for our hero to save and that was all it really was to it.
