My thoughts on Nisekoi 214:

Ugh, another throwaway chapter. I guess you can't do much when a character decides to run away and everyone feels bad and is looking for her. Ugh, Chitoge, what an idiot. Decides to run away so that Ruka and Onodera can be happy together, but decides not to tell them? Of course they're gonna worry. That's gotta be her plan. She can't be that stupid...

This isn't as bad as the Marika wedding arc, so I can't fault Komi, but come on, he can do better than this. It's becoming apparent he's wrapping this up, and it kinda doing a terrible job at it. Onodera didn't even do anything. They just... talked about Chitoge, and now they're gonna rescue her. Ugh, so dumb. At least Onodera is there to make it readable... I'm gonna be pissed if the next chap is another throwaway!

 

I mean...this arc seems to be building up to the conclusion. That's basically the exact opposite of a throwaway chapter. Not that it matters in an SoL anyway....it just seems odd to call a chapter a 'throwaway' when the plot is actually moving finally. 

I also thought it was clear that she was in too much pain to confront them over it, and wanted to make sure no one would find out her reasons on top of that. She found out her friend and the guy she loves have feelings for each other within a few days. It's shortsighted, sure, but certainly not something I would fault her over. Certainly not stupid either :/     

Haha, thanks for the concern Inigo, but I know what it means and am sticking to it

The 2 most recent chapters have been bare minimum and overall unenjoyable to read, but have to be done because the hole has been dug and now Komi just has to go with it. There's really no need to read them again and they just roll the story along. Even the tease about Onodera was pointless and nothing. Throwaway. And I can't help but feel it shows Chitoge's faults here, because she wants to think she's being selfless, but she's being the opposite and cowardice. She can't even cheer them on or confront it, and just runs away instead. I can get not telling Raku, but telling no one, even tsugumi, who is the closest person to her? This all just comes off as really dumb, and is really just causing problems for everyone than helping. Heck, Raku will probably think she's stupid as well in the next one. If anything, Onodera is being the selfless one here.
