Why do people still put up with this series? Has there been a bigger fall from grace than this manga? You at one point had, arguably, the greatest manga of all time yet after the golden age it progressively got worse. It was still great during the conviction arc, and solid during the Millennium Falcon arc, but flaws started creeping up and becoming more apparent culminating in Fantasia which seems to be the nadir of the series. The plot has been protracted for decades and most people are just exhausted and have given hope on the series ever being completed. Even Togashi seems to be progressing towards something and the manga is better than ever in HxH, which is the exact opposite for Berserk.
It seems like Berserk is one of those series that people fall in love with and get super emotional about, but frankly Miura doesn't deserve loyalty. The last time Berserk was in it's prime was in the early 00s (and I'm being generous), to put it into perspective, most artists hit a peak and fall off. Miura's prime has come and gone. It's like expecting a band to shit out a classic album 15 years after they fell off. And Miura certainly isn't getting better like Araki or Togashi, so why does he get a pass? Is it just cause everyone loves Guts and the Golden age is everyone's favorite arc?

The Golden age is better than any part in JoJo, matsumoto (Jiro and Taiyu) manga, AnJ, LW&C, any Asano series, better than any Inoue series, Farmland Saga, YKK, Blame!, Eden, 7 Seeds, BoTI, Dorohedoro, Golden Kamuy, One Piece at its peak, KKH, any Fukumoto series, Akira, Nausicaa, TWIM, Bokurano, Gunnm.
It was by far the best manga I've read if we just isolate it in it's prime and the only thing I prefer over it are some western comics.

Berserk? No, Miura will die before it's close to being finished. And if we take everything into account then Berserk wouldn't even be in my top 10 favorite series.
It still makes me sad at the wasted potential of the series. Just imagining how good it could be if Miura was still motivated and actually did the Godhand flashbacks like he planned to. But with him outsourcing Grunbeld's origin, it's clear as a bell he doesn't give a fuck anymore.
