A youtuber recommended this series. I will admit that I am confused by the hype surrounding this series. It was... okay?

As much as I wanted to like the first volume, I was not as intrigued by it. It’s just your typical “boys’ adventure” story. Jonathan and Dio battle for Joestar family inheritance in the 1880s England, with 1980s-style fight scenes until they turn 19. The book's plot revolves around an Aztec mask with powers that appear halfway through the book..

The characters in this volume were extremely two-dimensional. Jonathan’s arc bored me because of naivety. Dio’s lack of any depth beyond “I AM THE VILLAIN OF THIS PLOT” kept me from sinking into the plot at all. I felt like there was nowhere to grow, which was a confusing vibe to present, considering it’s the first installment.

This story feels choppy, as if someone gathered and bound several comic books from a series, despite missing some parts.

Almost everyone agrees that this part of the series is not the best... but it doesn’t pique my interest in continuing.
