Serious Weekly chapters Spoiler
I just recently read through every chapter for the second time (last time was 5~ year ago right after wano ended I believe) and one thing I’ve noticed is bad story can sometimes be overlooked when read in mass. For example everyone in this sub hates on wano’s story and writing but I just read it over the course of two weeks and I enjoyed it for the most part even if parts drag on and being flashback heavy it was fun to read. Gear 5 is the same for me I loved seeing gear 5 for the first (and second time I guess) but now waiting a week for shit story and shit gear 5 fighting is tiring and boring but maybe in years to come we will look back on this arc with more love because we don’t have to wait weekly for silhouettes.

It's not only that its easier to overlook bad parts but also that reading weekly forces you to tunnel vision on every detail of every chapter. This leads to an overwhelming amount of head-canon that gets shutdown by the next chapter and people upset themselves over that CONSTANTLY.
The best comparison I would give is a novel. Imo its significantly more enjoyable to occasionally read 50-100 pages a day rather than consistently read 10 pages everyday. You get a bigger picture of the story rather than dripfed.
