Why does this manga have to be so confusing?

Before reading and perhaps giving an answer, I will add this line to any post I make from now on, and it is the following, do not comment about my profile or anything related to it, because I will not only ignore but also perhaps block whoever does so, try to discuss only the subject of the topic, thank you very much for understanding.

Please note: This is simply constructive criticism of this manga's story, and I'm not hate bait, If I wanted to do that, I'd use works with a larger number of members. So, don't take it the wrong way. I'd be happy if you could share your opinion on this matter. (^ー^)

I also recommend that you've already read at least half of the manga or finished it. I didn't write a review because I thought it would be more interesting to share my experience directly on the forum.

I read this manga a long time ago and recently decided to read it again. Honestly, I remembered the story being somewhat confusing, but it wasn't to this extent. There are many windows, especially from the middle of the story onward, that don't seem to go anywhere, a lot of completely subjective dialogue that doesn't seem to make sense, and after you finish the manga, you're more confused than when you started.

I understand the author writing the story this way, as it's part of Pandora Hearts' charm. Since the characters' main goal is to find Alice's memories (among other things), much of the story's events feel fragmented, making the world feel like a profoundly lucid dream. This in itself could be a compliment to the author's writing. However, even as a fan of avant-garde works, I have issues with the manga's writing. It's one thing for events to be left to your interpretation, and another for you to be confused with each chapter because half of it doesn't make sense.

Despite this, I enjoyed reading it both times and will never forget this manga and most of the characters. I also already know the references the author used to create the story. Make no mistake, I don't hate the manga because of the criticisms above, but I think maybe Jun Mochizuki wants us to go to college to understand a simple fantasy drama manga. Anyway, that's all I wanted to share.

Bruhhh I swear this manga is gaslighting me 😭
One minute I think I’ve figured out the plot, the next minute a character pulls a “I was actually my twin from a parallel timeline” move and everything goes out the window.
