Fly Me to the Moon

I am writing this review based on the first two seasons. In a nutshell, it's a poor version of Trapped. So we have a human girl who meets a guy who is not. And while the beginning is quite interesting and engaging, over time more and more things come up that interfere with the reading experience. But let's start with the positives. First of all, the artwork is decent, everyone looks the way they are supposed to, and I don't just mean that the main character is attractive and the female lead is also good looking. Namely, the artwork is a distinct narrative element hereto a greater extent than in the average comic book. For example, there are different clans in the title, and I don't need to be told that this character belongs to x because I can read it visually. What's more, it's done subtly; the differences aren't huge, but they are clear. Secondly, there are the supernatural beings presented in Fly Me to the Moon. At first, I thought we would be dealing with demonic beings well known from popular culture and folk beliefs. I even thought that each family was a separate race of these beings, but this is not the case at all. The title seems to be somewhat inspired by certain aspects, but it creates its own original monsters, which we get to know more and more along with the main character. Their nature, biology, culture, abilities – everything here is designed in such a way that they cannot be classified as creatures known to us from various bestiaries, nor are they simply humans with superpowers. The very structure of the story is therefore satisfying. However, the world itself will not help if the story does not work, and here, unfortunately, we have one big narrative mess. On the one hand, there are long, overly drawn-out chapters focusing on side characters that no one cares about, and on the other, the main characters disappear only to reappear in jumpy scenes, later analysed in commentaries, trying to piece together what happened at all. On the one hand, there are storylines introduced without proper foundation, leaving the reader wondering where they came from in the first place. on the other hand, there are cool ideas, but ultimately unused and leading nowhere, and on yet another hand, there are ideas straight out of a soap opera where, for example, x was with y, but z was jealous and killed one of them to marry the other and had a child with the other, but it wasn't really his child, it was the earlier one's. The characters also sometimes behave out of character. From a neutral point of view, I would say that the main couple's relationship develops quite quickly, which is justified, so how you perceive it depends purely on your preferences, whether you like reading about the phase where they are attracted to each other but are not yet together, or whether you would rather skip it and move straight on to the moment when they are together. To sum up, it's quite an easy read, the world presented is interesting, but the plot and characters themselves are one big mess, 6/10. It's passable if You just want to kill time.
