I know that feeling, it's why I sometimes check mangaupdates before I pick up a series. I've gotten to that point where I've read almost all the good BL available, so with anything new or old, I'm fairly in tune to what manga is getting frequent releases. There's probably only a handful of series that I actively look forward to that's been pretty slow on releases - most notably Star Right. I'm not going to complain about their scanlation speed though, because they seem to be the only group that is still interested working on Ougi Yuzuha, so I'll wait as long as I have to. I only lament the fact that they might not pick up the last two volumes, since they've been so slow on this one. Of course, speed of scanlations isn't always an indicator, but I find the slower the group, the more the waning interest :(
There's also Kachou Fuuugetsu, which probably hasn't been updated for close to a year now. It wouldn't be so frustrating if the group leader wasn't always telling us how much she wants to read the next chapter, too, and that they've been working on it...for almost a year. And then they release something else and it's like, what happened to KF?!?!? Is your typesetter seriously still working on it?!? (ok, maybe I'm exaggerating that last part, but honestly if you read their updates on it, it's incredibly frustrating). Again, I say this as a reader and I'm grateful to still have had the opportunity to read it, but I'd rather they just be honest about their interest in the project instead of continually leading us on for almost a year and telling us they are working on it when you really aren't (come on, it's been almost a year!). Okay, I had to get that rant off my chest, I do like that group, but they definitely seem to be getting to the point where they're on the verge of closing down.
But yes, I agree that that's the upside of webtoons. They get updated frequently and you can access raws for yourself if you have the money. Worse comes to worse, if you can't find raws for manga that you're desperately searching for raws for, you can also try buying online like at CDJapan. What manga did you recently read that you're having these troubles with?
Kore ga koi no wake ga nai
Toritan
Bokura no shyokutaku
Family simulation!
A man like you
Hatsukoi
Mods (actually everything by natsume kazuki lol)
Yarichin bitch bu
Akuma chan wa momoiro
Zutto kitto
Family simulation
Haru wa daite ita alive

what series have you guys been waiting on for a while to update?
i've always just read one shots or shorter series without getting too into the characters and/or plot, but recently i've found some manga/webtoons that i actually got surprisingly invested in only to find that they were either dropped or are rarely updated. personally, webtoons are easier to cope with because they can be available for free and usually accessed on sites, but not being able to find even any trace of raws for more obscure mangas/manhwas feels pretty bad, like i have to suddenly force myself to forget about the characters and stories that i grew to love because i just can't find them anywhere
