I seriously doubt it is worth the time investment to read 400 chapters of this manga. Most long running media has a good drop off point where you can end it and still be satisfied with the story you receive, like how you can watch the show Dexter and end it after season 4. I was hoping there is a similar spot I could drop this manga

I'm always amazed when I see people like this exist. I have a job which is why if I read a 20+ volume manga it takes me quite a while to do so (one finished manga I've been reading for like 9 months and still have a while to go). If you don't actually want to read something then don't. Nobody's making you. You sound like you just want to be part of a group but don't want to actually put in the time/effort for it, which is just a sad existence, but seems to be pretty common with anime and manga.

Reading a series over 9+ months would leave you more free time to be a normalfag with a life than reading something over 1 week. Better yet you could just not read it at all since you clearly don't want to and instead go pick up sluts at the club of whatever you mean by having a life. Why are you even entertaining the idea of doing something you're spending your precious time making up excuses for not doing?

Drop it after guts assembles his jrpg party. Then pick it up again after a year or so you don't die from the tonal whiplash and can still appreciate it for what it is.

OP clearly doesn't want to enjoy it, otherwise he wouldn't be wanting other people to spoonfeed him on which chapter to drop the series on. It's a retarded mindset overall but obviously fans of something aren't going to think well about someone assuming a series they like is shit and only wanting to read the internet approved amount.

Kouji Mori doesn't know what the fuck he's doing
He forgot about the Bakiraka villager Silat was suppose to take Rickert to, instead having them go straight to Kushan.
He killed Isma for no reason and how she just disappeared when the spirit tree vanished also doesn't make any sense, because
>she wasn't part of Elfheim
>she was half-human
>she was specifically given a shell necklace by her mother and told to use it to call for her if anything happened (clearly a plot device meant to be used at some point, but completely forgotten about)
Rickert was able to slap Griffith with his bare hand, but Guts wasn't able to cut him with the Dragonslayer; a sword that was suffused with the essence and malice of thousands of otherworldly beings that is canonically able to affect members of the God Hand (I.E Slan)
The Kushan randomly stumbling across Guts and crew is THE MOST RETARDED SHIT that Kouji somehow managed to fuck up. Kushan is in the far east, and Elfheim is in the west. In order to accidentally drift into Kushan waters and get captured by a random Kushan navy patrol, they would have had to drift for months, all the way past the entire mainland continent, and past Vritannis where they departed from. So the fact that the Kushan randomly showed up to capture them because their ship drifted into Kushan waters, as Silat says in chapter 376, makes no sense.
Speaking of Silat, the entire Bakiraka clan should still be exiles, not allowed in Kushan at all. He should still be in the village located somewhere inside Midland, along with Rickert and Erica.
Also how the fuck did Rakshas not only survive, but somehow infiltrate Kushan itself without knowing. He pulls the equivalent of a "somehow palpatine returned" on himself. Makes no fucking sense.

Also
>look how they massacred my boy
Berserk is being dragged through the mud, and it makes me sad. I'm pretty sure none of Miura's assistants are working on the series now. The artstyle looks entirely like Mori's.

Agreed. This is the panel that pretty much confirmed it for me. Shit looks nothing like Miura's artstyle. My guess is all the assistants left when they realized Mori had no idea what he was writing and the entire series was going off the rails.

it's consistently good. some people say it dops in quality after the golden age arc but most disagree. there are some arcs that are weaker than the others but all are great. also it's hard to drop after the golden age arc because it's pretty much one continuous story from there.

Go read literally any of Mori's other works and you will see how shit of a writer he is. He is pissing all over Berserk and Miura. I would be surprised to learn that even a single one of Miura's assistants is still working on the series after Mori took over.
When I read the first chapter completely overseen by Mori, I actually got a little depressed, because I knew at that point Berserk was truly dead just like its author.
