Hey guys, is this comic worth reading after chapter 12? I read until the chapter 12. Honestly when this comic started it was very greater then other comics but now i think that feel has lost somewhere in the middle.
Is ID worth it? Yes. Does it have better chapters than others? Also yes.
Part 12 is pretty bad. In fact, I'd venture to say it's the worst of all of ID. It seems like Daval wanted to reset the status quo, but ended up overdoing it. In ID12, the Lana from the first few parts returns: completely devoted to her husband and constantly rejecting Daniel's advances.
Not to mention the almost nonexistent action. Part 12 has fewer than 30 actual pages of relevant content, ridiculously little considering the other parts easily exceed 100 pages. It's no wonder it's so poorly rated.
The truth is, ID12 feels like pure filler. In Part 10, Lana had already begun to admit her feelings for Daniel, although she was still trying to hold back. Then, in Part 11, we see how she gradually gets closer to him, even enjoying moments together outside of sex, like when they play in the pool and practically seem like a couple. Furthermore, Lana ends up admitting that maybe she doesn't care so much about saving her marriage anymore.
And then Part 12 arrives and throws much of that development out the window. Suddenly, we're back to an indecisive Lana, spending time with Alex, getting angry with Daniel, and acting as if much of her previous growth has vanished. Yes, there are some redeeming dialogues, but overall, it feels unnecessarily drawn out. Honestly, ID12 could be cut down to about 40 or 50 pages, and the result would be practically the same. All of ID12 feels exasperating, suffocating.
In contrast, ID13 immediately gets back on track. From the start, there's action between Daniel and Lana, and she herself admits that she doesn't plan to wait so long before getting back together with him. Here, the evolved Lana from Parts 10 and 11 returns, leaving behind all the forced indecisiveness of ID12. Part 14 follows the same path and feels like a natural evolution of what Parts 11 and 13 had been building. Lana no longer just wants to be with Daniel; she also supports his plans and is much more affectionate and devoted to him, which is consistent with her previous character development.
In conclusion: yes, it's definitely worth continuing to read Instinct after Part 12. Honestly, you can skip most of Instinct 12 and not miss too much. The rest maintains the same level of quality as Part 10, with a much more solid pace and a much more natural character development. Instinct 12 ends up feeling like an odd blemish on the story: something unnecessary that breaks the progress that had already been established. But in the end, the decision is yours. Nobody has to consume something they don't enjoy.
