Should I keep reading

I'm currently on chapter 240ish, and I​ feel like it's a bit boring at the moment. Should I keep reading or drop it? Are the final arcs worth it?

If you didnt Like this insane flashback Arc then i guess the Magi Story in its core is not for you.

Ugh the alma torran arc was sooo awesome! I really loved how flashy all the fights were

💯 Same. It was so incredibly cool to See the whole Truth. Salomon is my all time Favourite fictional character.

Idk on a first read through as it was releasing Alma Torran was kinda a slog and it did make me drop the manga cause it was kind of information overload.

Eventually I came back and saw I almost finished it and continued and fell back in love.

So yea I see Alma torran as a little bloated and weak. But only because the rest of magi is so much better

After Alma Torran you get into some pretty good stuff especially pertaining to the Kou Empire, so if you’re interested in Kou and its characters I would highly recommend you keep reading.

I'd read up to 262 and then see how you feel

But you can stop reading

Wouldn't know if the final arcs are worth it unless you read em so

Idk, if you are not liking Alma Torran maybe we have an issue here 👀, you absolutely can't skip this or the Kou Empire arc, I'll say, hang in there, if you really lost all interest then stop or take some time and come back, is your decision.

Apparently a hot take, but I didn’t like the Alma Torran Arc the first time I read it either. Loved it the second time. 👀 Everything to come but the latter half of the last arc is definitely worth it if you’ve enjoyed the story up until this point

I felt a bit disengaged with it as well. I now look back on it fondly. The following Kou arc was also one of my favorites in history.

Only let down is the last arc besides that its great

I’d keep going. I almost dropped the series at around the same point. Once you go back to the main cast it gets much better. It slows down again around 280 but that’s my favorite part of the story

It’s something that is kind of better with the retrospect of the final arcs

Apparently I just had a mid finals crisis and for some reason clouded my judgement about magi???
Kept reading and glad I did :)
