Yep, that's exactly what I mean.
There's no waste of time, everything has a fast pace and it doesn't give you the actual time to say "oh, this arc is getting boring".
There wasn't a single chapter where I found myself stuck because the content was so slow and insignificant that I had to skip it over.
I should admit DS is probably even /too/ fast, cause some things would have probably turned more "realistic" with a few more time, but I strongly prefer this kind of pace instead of something that drags itself endlessly reaching nowhere in the span of several chapters.
I know all those slow arcs will look better once animated, because of the shorter amount of screen time, but still, reading them is really heavy on me.
As I said, I can't even let the chapters stack up, because I know once they'll be too many, I won't be able to keep up anymore.
Dunno. I hope it speeds up somehow or that the good and meaningful contents are gonna come soon cause it's getting harder and harder to stay updated, and it's also making me lose interest in something I used to love deeply.
Last but not least, I strongly hope that Bakugou gets a drastic change in his behavior cause I can't stand him anymore, and he used to be my fave character. But he's not moving, he's always the same yelling jerk and honestly I just wanna beat him up now.
It looked like he made some improvement but it was just a sparkle in the night and no real change. Meh, I really hope Horikoshi knows what he's doing and will not disappoint us..

Well, sadly we live in times in which people don't appreciate development and instead only want constant action and maybe 'surprise level-ups', like Bleach had most of the time.
Pacing is also a foreign word to most people nowadays and people often just say 'the author wants to prolong the story/waste time so they can get more money selling their work'.
It's sad if you view it from that point, really. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Eee I hate surprise level ups.... I feel like that's exactly what Horikoshi did with his villains though.
And bruh, if you want pacing, I can name some excellent anime that goes at a snails pace, but the characters, atmosphere, and story drive the thing home. I just have not been entirely pleased with BNHA's pacing or development (as a single person's opinion in a sea of millions who adore his work). I more or less asked this to see if others shared my feelings, so I'm 100% grateful for your honesty because that was the point of my question.
But! I would like to say that people who enjoy fast pace things and power ups are completely valid in what they like too.

Hmm, I think the level ups are somewhat 'earned' or worked for, not as much as they could be tho, that's true. But maybe that's because they (as far as we saw anyway) never really put work or effort into getting the skills they currently have. Shigaraki and co seem to be naturally talented, so they come across as 'does not like to train' kinda people. In my eyes anyway.
I DO very much appreciate suggestions tho, so feel free to give some! <3
I didn't mean my comment to be directed at you personally by the way, it's something I have noticed in general with other manga/anime and something people that commented on BNHA have also made clear, some more some less. It wasn't meant as an attack either, hopefully it didn't come across that way. Didn't mean it like that. >_<
I personally love fast pacing too, especially in stories like these. That's the blood and soul of shounen genre for me. Tho I guess we can never get around the occassional slow arcs. Especially with our heros and villains having to get stronger so the story progesses to a huge stage (which I asume will be: Shigaraki turns into a thread similar to his master and Deku & co need to be on All Might's & co's level to battle him in a final arc). It would be nice to have a bit more 'silent' pages tho, I'm not that much of a fan of tons of talking if you could just show it through multiple panels of art, but I know authors rarely do that. Which ends up in people getting bored, likely for good reasons (it's not that I wouldn't understand that it's not as exciting as previous arcs, I'm probably just too used to things slowing down after lots of action and I'm quick to just accept that since it's a cliche move in writing, in a way).

"It wasn't meant as an attack either, hopefully it didn't come across that way. Didn't mean it like that. >_<" Nah I didn't see it as an attack Just because I see the manga headed in a way that I don't like, doesn't mean its suddenly bad.
I think my disappointment comes from who are the other characters that are progressing the character development. So looking at some of (in my opinion) the better arcs we have Stain, LoV in the Kamino arc, and Chisaki who are great characters that helped push the development of our main characters. Ever since Eri's arc, we've had Gentle, the bondage guy after Endeavour, and the liberation army. To me these were very stale characters that forced development. If a story is going to have a villain, I enjoy a story where I kind of root for both sides (avatar is a perfect example). I haven't really cared much for the characters Hori has recently introduced, but I am excited to see a reunion with the LoV and our main cast.
For recommendations, I have lots! Soul Eater and Hunterxhunter are great shounen material, hunter I still think as the shining king of that genre.
Black Lagoon and Baccano are great character studies, though Black Lagoon doesn't have much plot, it's just, really, really fun (if you watch the anime, do watch the dub for that.
If you really don't mind slower paced shows, Eureka 7 and Monster. Monster is a show unlike any other with the absolute best villain in any book, show, movie (in my opinion) but Monster also had the slowest pacing of a show I've ever encountered.
Thanks for the input and hope your day goes well!
Out of curiosity, because I'm a ninny nitpicker, how many people here think that the quality of the story has dropped? I don't feel it as gripping as it was before, but I'm wondering if my interests have shifted. Like if you think its dropped and dislike if you think the story is great.
