Its long form slow burn, if you read it all in one go it feels pretty fine, yeah maybe some things could have been cut and the chapters should come out a lot faster than they are, but that's just unfortunate fact that the chapters come out 1 every few months, all I am saying is that if the people complaining want something fast paced then they should go read something else and stop complaining about this 1 manga, like, like it or not, it won't change
actually no. if i want to be more accurate it has been going on for almost 20 years. it started at 2004. the pacing IS a problem. it's not a slow burn anymore, it's not burning at all. and anyone who read it/follow it has the right to complain about it. as an author, you have to make the story engaging for the readers. almost 20 years of publishing for that little of development is not engaging at all. i do want to say that complaining here in this website will not change anything. but complaining on an official website/to the author may change something.
I just spent the last few days rereading this whole manga non-stop from the start, right from the chapters in challengers, and I can definitely say the pacing feels right. Seriously, if you guys want to complain so much because it has been years, you are just forgetting the rest of the story, I bet you don't remember half of what's happened. it has only been a couple years for the characters, even though its been like 20 for us. Try reading from the start and get some better perspective, please
