A lot of these types of media have a really great premise and initial story before it devolves into every Shonen stereotype ever and way the hell too long and specific arcs.
Like One Piece’s original formula of sea travel, pirate action, and island story worked great. It only suffered from Toei’s asanine pacing for the Anime.
Now it’s basically 99% Island and nothing else. No one even acts like pirates anymore, and each Island lasts so long it actually gets boring to watch or read.
The real crime here is that each chapter is about 15 pages, with currently 1101 chapters, yet the each anime episode is 24 minutes long and there are currently 1087 episodes.
Toei has milked this content harder than their infinite stalling in DBZ.
