The Deadline – Ending

--Originally published at Coder Bebop

It is always hard to say goodbye to a story, especially one that teaches you something elementary. Even with a unidimensional character such as Webster Tompkins, who strives for greatness through the help of his friends (not very different from other characters). I suppose this was made be so average readers can identify with someone ordinary in an extraordinary situation.

I liked the ending, I would have expected it to be a lot flatter, so it was rather surprising to see this little twist. Though, there is very little development on her relationship with Webster, so you can’t really say we earned this. But meh, it was a happy ending for an ever uplifting story about true management, simple details.

On a side note, it would have been funny if Laksa had contracted herpes from her Belok mischief, too.

The Deadline Chapter 20-21

I was craving for these two chapters to end so I could complain about the anticlamatic way the Belok affair was taken care off, but the author saved himself from getting burned in the last two pages of chapter 21.

Miracles may happen (but don’t count on them).

Webster Tompkins

Guess that is one way to teach a pseudolesson (?).

Just a few paragraphs before we were having an explanation on how if we do a terrific design from the beginning, there is not even need to do inspection in the end, which was nice, but did they need two whole pages to say that? I think the author spent more time looking into technical details such as function points et cetera, rather than give us a better resolution to the hierarchical problems. I literally skipped all that and perfectly understood how the progress was going.
