I know this might sound like I am glancing over all the hard work of mangakas but I’m really not, just venting my despair… x)
How are you people able to follow a story and not go mad when the chapters are sometimes ~ so. damn. SLOW ~ to release ?
I had read a manga 5 years ago, it was 22 chapters at the time, but for some reason it stuck with my mind and I finally decided check and re-read it again a few days ago.
Half a day, 53 chapters(*) later and I was already done reading it. I’m now just dreading having to wait 5 more years for it to maybe finish. Or follow the drip of releases. I think it’s one of those monthly releases (maybe less since there ~40 new chapters over 5+ years).
Do you guys follow releases ? Do you not ?
I personally almost never do…
One funny thing I notice I do when I know I’m getting close to the the last chapters of a manga I like. In my manga reader, I ignore the chapter number and just click my “Next Chapter” button praying to god it won’t be the last one 😂
Again, not a critic of the author(s).
- Actually discovered while making this post that there are 8 chapters for me to read YOSHAAAAAAA
Usually if it’s not exceptionally good, I just drop the series. I have currently 15 series marked as “reading”. If I really can’t wait, I check if there is !lightnovels@ani.social version.
Actually, reading books and light novels has really exacerbated that feeling for me lol I used to have that same feeling even 5+ years ago, but it has gotten worse since I got into books x)
