completely agree.. I have a list made with about 50 mangas the list is titles. Mangas I'll read if they ever finish... Cuz they were cluttering up my want to read folder
One Piece & Finder are almost 20 years, Crimson Spell's 15 years.. and they are still ongoing.. I just wanna give you info that if you wait until the great/popular manga finished before start reading, you may not have a chance to read from whatever reasons.
Regularity in release is not just the same in bl and shounen manga. Like, they have a different culture when it comes to a manga lifespan. It's easier to get over a title in bl while if you do that in shounen or seinen you will miss a lit of title. So there's your difference.
No matter how popular or good rated the story is i rather wait till it finished than being hanged in a fucking cliff hanger
