And 17 chapters into the Lost Shinigami Representative arc, the full mechanics of a new ability have been explained, Ichigo has attained such ability, multiple potential protagonists and antagonists have been introduced, and suspense has been raised regarding Isshin, Kisuke, and even Rukia. Summing that all up, more major events have occurred over the past 17 chapters than those of any other arc, hence why I'm still a tad confused by those who believe that "nothing is happening." I can understand the sentiments of not liking Fullbring or Xcution, but I see nothing wrong with the narrative.
