So how did this all go wrong? Not to say it was ever very good, but the style and "Crest" Backstory seemed slightly promising.
Instead we get wish-fulfillment characters, self-inserts, gary-stus and mary-sues out of the wazoo. Plus the lack of "plot" - would this have been any better under a different more competent writer?.
Specifically characters like Mora and Miles, whom are miss the mark on about everything the writer(s) aim to achieve. Miles is nothing short of an annoying horny loser whom gets way more lime-light for a secondary character than he should.
Mora is our main "protagonist" but has no redeeming traits besides sometimes employing people and generally has no responsibility. She just drinks and fucks.

Maybe, it's best to cut your losses anyways at this point. Every single character is so unlikable, ((including Crest Diaries)) but no one cares because anyways because they're getting porn from Chalo's Tumblr.
Is this porn? cause it looks like porn
Lol yeah, pretty much. It would be a good case for discussion on how NOT to do a webcomic.
No plot-point fulfillment beyond relationships becoming canon. No growth as characters - no sense of nuance.
Borderline, especially later on - it's obvious Chalo wants to make an adult porn rag but can't abandon Las Lindas or make it entirely lewd for financial reasons.
It's a shame because there is slightly Ok-ish moments like this. Then it pulls back and it's dumb fan-servicey BS.
having a character or moment in LL that is good?
HAHA, FUCK THAT!
TIME FOR TITS!
Yeah pretty much.
Super serious Minos as a starfleet commander - has to be interrupted by an awkward make-out session with Geecku on the next page, then the following is serious again.
Like wtf?
and this shit has been going on or like what, 10-15 years now?
jesus, some people need to lose their free patreaon money because they draw OK.
>Lol yeah, pretty much. It would be a good case for discussion on how NOT to do a webcomic.
I agree, like I'm not actually against fanservice, cheesecake and big titty characters. But people like Chalo and whoever his writer is needs to take a page from Shounen manga and learn that if you want people to take your comic seriously, the plot has to come before the "plot".
>Mora didn't want to hurt you
Kek, that's an understatement.
THIS
like, holy shit, how can you put tits in your comic without good plot to string it along?
Certain pages are paywalled because they are just strictly sex-pages that add nothing to the plot.
The point of Miles fucking Geecku? To get special Crest-privvy information he wasn't even concerned about.
But Miles getting laid was all about SoulKat getting wish-fullfillment for his self-insert to finally be vindicated. Later on he also gets to date Rachael with no consequence, just a simple tantrum and he gets all he wants.
Meanwhile other relationships that have had much longer build-ups get axed and there is a severe lack of pillow-talk. ala Taffy and Randal.

Nigga, do you know who Chalo even is? All Las Lindas is, all it ever was, was backstory justification for Chalo's porn. It's the exact same goddamn thing as Zig-Zag's backstory: something to give the fapbait a bit more soul, because it's hotter if there's some personality behind the tits.
It's not good, but it's not supposed to be. Hell, you're not even expected to like it. All you're expected to do is have this shitty comic in your head when you see the inevitable image of Miles boning Rachel.
Yeah but why even have moments like this at all? You can't say it's not on purpose, besides if it wanted to be nothing but fluff and tits it would be Rascals.
Also why does Alejandra make a better protagonist then Mora?
He should take some notes on Empowered on how to balance the sex and plot to compliment one another and keep the shitty drama to a minimum
I feel like if Chalo had the time and drive to, he could do a good fighting manga comic with his style.
Did the jailbait lose her virginity yet?
Sarah? Only non-canonically. Apparently she is very non-chalant about sex and nudity but not interested in romantic relationships.
He actually does action scenes quite well, it's such a wasted potential. Either do an action comic or a porn comic, or an action porn comic. But for the love of god, get a new writer and some new characters.
It's on purpose, all right, but it's the same purpose as the story before the sex in porn. In fact, thats exactly what this is: Toots and Alej finally acknowledge the lesbian shit between them, so the inevitable porn continuation is them going home and fucking for hours on end in fits of erotic passion.
And if you follow Ask The High Prime, you know that is EXACTLY what happened.
I was big into this until I learned chalo gave the ok for another to draw the kids getting raped.
At some point he got into creepy shit as well, I think, and probably stopped caring about quality in the comic. Coincidence for the new circles he was on? Probably not.
Did these two ever get together, because I remember the mouse girl having a crush on the black and white cow.
Are there any lesbians in this female-dominant comic.
chalo pseudo girlfriend has some amazing boobs tho
