Upon rewatching the anime, it's not as interesting or engaging. It's not something I really look forward to every month. It's become more of a romcom involving whether Ren and Kyoko will get together.

After the Dark Moon saga, my enjoyment has been waning. The acting challenges haven't been as exciting as they initially were. I have read every chapter. Luckily, the chapters themselves are quick page turners. I think the focus has been more on Ren, who I think is frankly boring. He becomes interesting/more tolerable when he is with Kyoko. I'm talking about chapters of chapters focusing more on Ren. I'm not invested in his "dark past" in America. It just seems too contrived.

-Kyoko technically meet's Ren's dad. I think those chapters were done really well.
-Kyoko gets the role of Natsu.
-Kyoko and Moko get more roles to work together in a period piece.
-Kyoko's mom's backstory gets revealed. Again it's ok.
-Kyoko and mom reunite sorta.
-More chapters where Kyoko meets Corn/Kuon. Is she that dense that she can't figure it's Ren's voice at least?

It initially started as more of these characters have to overcome their acting challenges, but now the focus seems to be more heavily when Ren and Kyoko will get together.

For the last couple of years, the Cain/Kain siblings arc entered. I really didn't like any of those chapters. They seemed like an excuse for Kyoko to dress skimpy and tease the Ren Kyoko shippers. Kyoko didn't have a part in that movie. She was just there... There didn't seem to be much development, other than Kyoko rescuing Ren from his darkness. Thankfully that's over. But I felt it really sucked the enjoyment out of me.

Ren gets mad at Kyoko because she was literally talking to Sho. What so she can't even see or speak to him? Then the two get into another misunderstanding. Rinse and repeat.

So what happened to the focus on acting or has acting been moved to the background?

Pacing has been boring and all over the place. I am actually looking forward to the upcoming chapter. The ship is starting to sail at long last. I honestly wanted them to get together at Dark Moon arc.
