Do you think you lose a certain something when you read a manga all at once, versus reading it as it comes out and you get the waiting and the build up in real time, waiting for the new chapter to come out? Or am I being a schizoid and because it's the same story either way, the actual wait doesn't matter if the story is good?I don't really have an image appropriate for my question so here's a cute Fuuka
>>282944224You miss the downtime between chapters to think about them and getting to participate in active discussion.
Do zoomies really only read things just to talk about it on tiktok or whatever the fuck
I don't think you lose anything in terms of actual story reading something all at once. If anything I think it's actually best way to consume manga because everything that's happened will be fresher in your head. But reading something ongoing is completely different experience with its own appeal, even if you are not super involved in discussion or community. I pick up lots of shit and barely ever bring myself to start already completed series probably for this reason.
>>282944487Your post is too correct and to the point for this shit thread.
>>282944224Both have their charm for their own resons.Dailies in theory are a good compromise because they allow for chapter by chapter discussion while keeping a decent pace.
>>282944224They're different things, each with their own benefits and drawbacks, you can't really have both so you just need to pick what is preferable to you.

I think reading week to week gives you a greater familiarity with the material because you start to attach emotions to the arcs (good or bad) and start to identify the series with its place in your life with a sort of long view perspective. When you binge a series it might resonate deeply but it sort of holds a place in your life like a good movie or limited series. You appreciate the larger arcs and storytelling devices the author implemented because the cause and effects and motivations and foreshadowing is much more obvious and immediate. But you'll always be aware that your appreciation of the series is one where you came to the story late and you can only interact with the community on the community's terms. There might be very few people who give a shit or there might still be a huge amount of fans keeping the lantern lit. Just two very fundamentally different experiences for reading a manga and each with their own pros and cons
is this the moomin thread?
