Secondo me... Monthly mangas aren't there only because their drawing quality needs that much more time to be created, but also sometimes because of the philosophy of creating complete and decent story. That means, they are not trying win title of badassery in every single episode and kiss readers' asses that much, but rather create a story that will amaze by its storytelling quality when readed right trough.
Berserk, Vinland Saga and rest of the kind are good and will stay good, but you can't espect the story to have no dull moments, because these stories are more like books than movies. LOTR the book has totally diffent pace than LOTR the movie, for obvious reasons. Let's say that publishing while creating is not convient for storytelling. it's harmful for story management and pace difficult for readers to follow. While long complicated story would need an intensive frequency of episodes, it needs long time to be created. Then we have simple gag based stories that are so easy to make, that they have to add fillings to make last longer. I reccommend to drop series that are getting on nerves and try them again next year. People who order the magazine are paying the show for us anyways. Actually one good way is to wait complete arch to be published as album and suggest it to public library near you and read it there at once.

i actually kinda liked this whole "farmland saga" thing. it was a nice breather from all that violence and we got to see thorfinn finally grow up. so i think this arc is essential to the story. not to mention that ketil's farm will be right smack in the middle of another political battle. it's not as if thorfinn was thrown into slavery and farming for nothing. i admit that there were some dragging moments and really boring chapters but i kinda liked the characters that were introduced in this arc, most especially snake and the old master.
i am excited to get to the next chapter though. thorfinn versus snake should be plenty interesting. and then there's canute launching an invasion of ketil farm. i want to see thorfinn and canute's expressions when they see each other again after 3 years.
