Well, now that we've nearly caught up with the gag webtoon, it feels like One wants to flesh out all these side characters, & like Yoshihiro Togashi, the more characters you flesh out, the more subplots you create. I remember when the protagonist of Hunter x Hunter was in a coma for half an arc... Anyway, giving more personality & seriousness to the story seems to have trippled the running time. I mean Garou's arc was do short in the original, but maybe his popularity among fans demanded an ascended storyline with a potentially different outcome.
This arc is......really dragging on....
I mean, I get they’re fluffing it up for the anime, but what was appealing to me from the original webcomic is how effective ONE is at getting plot across in just a few pages...... this version doesn’t have that anymore.
