On Oda Breaks and WSJ Breaks

:snoo_feelsbadman: Discussion

So One Piece is a great story, thats why we are all here eagerly awaiting the next scrap of the story. But in my opinion its getting quite frustrating seeing so many people badmouthing Oda during the recent week breaks.

Yeah its a shame that there isnt a dedicated schedule like their used to be, but Oda's been writing for 30 years on a mostly weekly basis and the longest time he has taken off was for one month.

The three Jump Weekly Breaks this year also contributed to this. But its getting pretty hard to see myself as a fan of One Piece if the 'fandom' is just talking shit about a man who we know nothing about the physical or mental health of.

I imagine if anyone on this subreddit had created a massive work read by millions of people on a weekly basis and kept producing it decade after decade as more and more people demanded more from the story it might take a tax on someone's mental health.

The waits will happen, and while we want for the next chapter eagerly, lets maybe cut back on the Oda hate.
