Author simply doesn't know how to kill off serie.

>>290083327
How far away are we from Fern being able to take her place? Pretty far, I reckon; Serie would have been able to order Stark to put a baby in her by now

If I had to guess they have some 3rd party writer come in with the publisher trying to figure out what kinda content would be best for the anime.

Frieren even has split writer/artist and it has been a hiatus series since its third year, so I don't think it's overwork.

This entire last arc is a complete disaster. They are probably brainstorming with editors how to save it.

Just play it straight in either she doesn't escape and dies anyway, Frieren's band of chaotic autismos actually works and creates an opening or that she realizes in her final moments that attempting to escape her fate was actually what doomed her to the Big Bad and have her leave some cryptic clue for Frieren to find. I'm just pretty sure one of them is actually sick
>>
>>290083327
Yeah this is not a normal hiatus, this is a man struggling to come up with the rest of the story

Fieren became fucking dumb.

First mages were like gods, that's why only mages could face demons.

Then later they show that warriors are more powerful than mages.

The question is why the warriors didn't destroy all the demons by themselves.
>>
>>290083653
It's not overwork. Sometimes a writer really is just bad at their jobs and can't think of anything.

It'd be total hackery to kill off Serie.

How about this:
>demon that creates plagues
>serie stops the demon
>gets infected
>mage doctor tells her she is gonna die
>only has x amount of years/months left
>cure can be found around the Demon Lord's castle in Ende
Would give the whole plot some urgency and the author can always delay Serie's death with healing magic or secret magical potions

It would even provide a possible setup for a dilemma

Anon, it’s not that bad. There are plenty of manga that haven’t had a new chapter in over a decade (e.g. Guyver, Vagabond, etc.)

Why even do so at all? Was any of this plot necessary? Weren't they just on a quest to get to a specific place? Why are we wasting time with any of this? Have we made any real progress on the journey? What was the point of anything?! This is the worst adventure ever.
>>
>>290091506
I'm just a humble Texan and not a Japanese mangaka, but if I had to guess it's not just Serie. Yamada probably having trouble coming up with ideas for how to end the story overall.
>>
good thing the anime has at least two seasons or maybe one longer season and movie before this current arc even begins, so he has plenty of time to get his shit together with regards to the story. given the kind of goddess level character he introduced with serie, why not just have her go full self-mode deus ex machina and fix the plot and move the story along?

I mean they specified the objective of their journey from the very start. Get to the place where they can speak to the spirits of the dead. Seems to me the ending should be pretty obvious. Maybe too obvious really but fucking your book up because the expected outcome is expected isn't a good call. Do it right and you can still have your expected heartfelt moment. Hell it being so obvious actually draws more drama. It's like the Hitchcock bomb. The audience knows Frieren is going to have to deal with this shit but she doesn't know how and the closer she gets maybe the more cracks will start to break. You didn't need to have a big plot in your post big plot adventure. Hell I can see them coming home just to see their Dwarf friend pass on and decide they have time for one more journey on their own. But that's just me off the cuff.
>>
>>290091506
The problem is that if your manga becomes popular, the mangaka will not be allowed to end it. Not until it loses popularity. This is a job in the end. If you want to make a good story, you have to do it as an indie, not having to answer to anyone.

It kills this story but I wouldn't be surprised if the author had a Tolkien-like "Age of Man" idea in mind for the world. And Serie dying (and presumably opening the door for a human guildmaster) would be crucial to that.

The elves didn't die at the end of LOTR they just left on their own. The series already established an actual way to commune with spirits.

Serie isn't going to be killed off lol. The whole point of the story is that Frieren is the Goddess or the ascendant, nubile version of her.
From the clone fight in the Ladybirth, we see that Frieren has magic that surpasses conventional magic, i.e. magic of the Goddess.
Frieren learning all the wacky and niche magic throughout the world is what will make her so. The encrypted scriptures of the Goddess that the Church use for Holy Magic are magic that she's passed down, as once she becomes a god she will transcend time.
When Sein is being led by the Goddess, who is he led to? Frieren. The Goddess sends him to the right place and time to save Stark and mess up the Shadow Warrior's plans. The whole arc is the Goddess (aka Frieren) manipulating events to prevent Serie's fated death.

Author wanted to try glazing warriors after being criticized for their poorly defined and WEAK role in the story and worldbuilding, so he tried to write them as a legitimate threat to the precious mages. Then indecisively flip-flopped on it and got stuck in a corner. You know it's true. The magewankery is unstoppable. All the bullshit about warriors being strong or good in a "blitz" against mages never fucking pans out. It's so inconsistent, why even bother?

Yeah, he made magic way too strong, when you have an aprentice blowing up holes several meters in diameter on a mountain there is no room left for any kind of martial discipline except magic unless you go with "so fast they teleport" trope which is super boring.
At least if magic had a very limited number of uses like Goblin Slayer magical skills it would make sense warriors existing but in Frieren mages seem to have massive mana reserves.

To our readers,

Thank you very much for your continued support of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.

In consideration of the health conditions of Tsukasa Abe-sensei and Kanehito Yamada-sensei, after consulting the authors, to adjust the pace of publication and its format and deliver the continuation of the story from here on out, the editorial department has decided to place the series on temporary hiatus.

The authors are currently still working on the story, and the editorial team will continue to support them fully.

The specific date of the series’ return will be announced in a future issue of Weekly Shounen Sunday.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support for Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.

plausible theory, but contradicted by an earlier theme of elves being overtaken by humans for a new era, and Fern being the key figure. So making frieren the reincarnation of probably the most important character would be muddy for the messaging, but you never know with japs.
>>
>>290108818
Okay I have to really ask, is this supposed to be a middle ages type fantasy or whatever the fuck is going on. Because one minute shits all Dragon Quest and then then chapters later we get fuckos in WW2 uniforms. It's not like I expect historical accuracy in any of this shit but a closer attention to creating a consistent and believable aesthetic wouldn't go unappreciated. But nope, here's WW2, goth loli and slut shorts.
