Rn im reading tower of god and my god is it hard to commit. It has 500 chapters half of one piece. The way i do it is just i ask myself do i wanna read it. If yes then i keep reading it. If someday the answer is no then i just take a break. Its easier to read longer serieses like this. Dont think abt long term commitment. Instead break it up into arcs and commit to arcs. You wont regret reading one piece. I promise

I'm so excited to read ember blade 😁 and idk of you'll see this Merphy or if someone's already said this, but I highly recommend spacing out your One Piece reviews after Water 7! I think this way you and us will get a lot more out of the reviews and discussion because a lot happens in the upcoming arcs and it's a very long saga. So instead of doing a whole saga review, having a review after each arc, ie. Thriller Bark, Sabaody etc. It's pretty intuitive when an arc ends or the OP community in your patreon/discord/youtube could definitely help too. Just a suggestion! Bc it's a really wild ride so it'll be nice to savor it!
