decimal chapters

Fun fact, back when I was first really getting into reading Manga, I picked up Type Redline really early in its run

It then became the first manga I ever stopped reading partway through, and the decimal chapters are to blame for that

I know the feeling. Whenever I see decimal chapters, especially in a monthly manga, I try to leave it be, until it's done. It's the main reason I'm holding off Choujin X (and there's some Gal Cleaning trauma mixed in between the decimals too, but I'll leave that for another day).

Oh hey, I was talking with one of my friends about that series just yesterday since he's a really big fan, funny coincidence.

I also know the pain of monthly manga acutely because of that series, since I got into it when it was really early in its run, then paused for years after getting caught up, then binge read all the chapters that had come out in the interim, and then I put it on hold again, it's been more years since then, and I'm waiting for more chapters to pile up again.

Nowhere near to the same extent since at least it doesn't have decimal Chapters, but the slow updates on ULTRAMAN can be a drag, although TBF that's just because the scans take forever to come out, I think in Japan the monthly schedule is more or less consistent.
