@zeltrax225:
just a question, I read conan up to the 100s? I think a long, long time ago. And I did felt a bit of repetition so I like to ask this here, does the series break any new grounds going on and is any one or few arcs that great to be worth the time? Because I can kind of presume that stories will be similar to rehashes of Sir Conan, Agatha Christie, JDC, you know the names. I didn't read all of the books by listed authors of course but I read my fair share of Christie and pretty much all of Sherlock and only did I realize a repetition of similar tricks when I was reading up to the 100s. Although the scans during the 2010s was horrendous. I do want to catch up and need a series that's long so I posed this question, basically is it worth it or will I get annoyed by it having read my fair share of novels in the genre?
Let me put it this way, if you'd look up the term "milking it" in a dictionary you'd find only two words: Detective Conan. Aside from the main plotline with the men in black which feels like it's getting dedicated chapters only every leap year, there is nothing and I mean NOTHING that hasn't been covered in previous cases. Heck, even romance arcs are rehashes of what we've seen before. We've had hundreds of chapters until Satou and Takagi finally got together. I would assume that this intregued the readers so the author puts other support characters through the same crap again and again for no other reason but to milk it.
I might be harsh but if you don't believe me, just read the past few posts/pages in this very thread. You'll see that nobody's been discussing the plot and events of recent chapters in a while. It's only notifications about remasters, trailers and whatnot (and me bitching about the same thing I'm just complaining about in this very post).
What I would recommend is to search the web if there's a site that lists which chapters contain elements related to the main plotline and just read these chapters. Because if you've read up to the 100s, then you've definitely already read everything the standard cases have to offer.
