What is going on? Why is the manga being rushed?
We had a good pace and now suddenly Ragnorok again??
i hope the series is not getting axed..
Some manga publishers have this shitty system of prioritizing business plan over product, where when an ending is declared, whether by author or publisher, a set number of remaining chapters is decided. And the publisher is completely inflexible about that number as they plan advertising and marketing around it.
Generally, it is super hard for an author to accurately predict how many chapters they need even if they aren't being cancelled and just want to wrap up naturally -- almost always leading to the series needing to rush to its end.
Either case sucks, but I hope it's not because it is being cancelled or there will still be a confrontation with the other eight master rules.
