At first I couldn't stand Jorge, but he got a little better after becoming a pilot, and I kinda can see what the story wants to tell with him, he's just a secondary minor character without aspirations of grandeour, that was thrusted to become the "piece to complete the universe" by the whim of the author (just to be sidelined anyway), but the kid detective duo, Joji and Tsukumojuku (that are the exact same character, if you think about it) are insuferable.

The Jorge storyline is the best one, at least it tried to develop character, while the Joji one was too busy with its convoluted bullshit to give a damn to develop anything, and while the strange things happening are intriguing at first, it becomes boring and tiresome when you realize that the novel ain't going to stop and give you some good answers.

But I can't say that all things are awful, the aerial battle with zombie pilots was exciting and the stand battle on the spaceship, that was the only time we get close to a proper stand battle in this novel.

The ending is a fucking joke, it disregard a bunch of things to achieve a forced happy ending, one thing that I like about JoJo is that every journey was its sacrifices, and even the more happier endings (like Part 4) are bittersweet in some way, so endings that outright revive dead characters to "fix" the original events are so fucking disgusting to me. I more or less agree with all of this. The ending was so bad, though DIO just being like "Fuck you guys, I'm leaving" was pretty funny. I mean, I haven't read Steel Ball Run so the whole Funny Valentine and Jesus thing made no sense to me, but they just put Jonathan's head on fucking Jesus and he came back to life? And when he did, his personality did not match with the Jonathan we know.

And don't even get me started on the Stands. The dolphin things were really stupid, and so was the propeller hat thing, like, they were only useful for going from place to place, how the hell did they almost beat Kira with that? Kars being able to have all Stands did kinda make sense though, he is the Ultimate Lifeform after all.

Joji sucked so much. He basically didn't do shit for the entire novel, mostly because he didn't try. Jorge was a million times better than this idiot.

I will admit the novel was an interesting read, but not necessarily a good one.
