I agree with you. My very first anime was D.N.Angel. First manga was Suzuka. For being the first one's they have a short of special ranking for me. D.N.Angel is stopped at a cliffhanger a really juicy one. The mangaka apparently likes to stop and start this manga at random so it's kinda irritating. As for Suzuka, the mangaka tends to like to drag **** out a while and when boxed into a corner someone dies or they break up leading to mindless fan service.
I'll take a page out of naruto to describe the rushed/axed thing:
As long as we are cursed to live in this capitalistic world there will never be peace for rushed/axed endings.
Pretty much a world of capitalism is a bad world that promotes the sin greed and thus a manga that doesn't do well in ratings based on the japanese readers is doomed to die.
I actually feel the same way about anime's that don't get a second season when they should. Although Kiseijuu getting an anime after so long was actually quite a shock.

I'll finish a manga series I hate precisely because I hate it. Hate is an emotion like any other, and a powerful one at that.

Basically, loving something and hating (like, genuinely hating) something are essentially the same thing for me. It's when I have no interest in something, when it stops invoking any sort of feeling, that's when I'll drop it. Because, you know, I don't care.



There's also the benefit of knowing everything about something you hate, just so you can properly leave a justified bad comment. I think the better question is "Why do people give popular things bad ratings when they probably haven't read a page of it?" Like, I haven't read a page of Naruto. Think I'll be leaving a bad comment, or trash talk it and the people who like it? No, of course not. THAT'S what's insane to me.

Heck, even back when Justin Bieber was an innocent little kid making cute little pop songs, I didn't understand the unwarranted hate towards him. It's like, he's this 13 year old kid singing pop songs, and EVERYBODY is just delivering his damn pizza over it. Why? I mean, I understand that it's pretty easy to hate him now because he grew up to be an idiot, but when he was a little kid?

People are so weird.

I'll generally drop the series if I dislike it but once I see that the entire thing has finished translating I'll go and read the remainder to see how it ends. Basically it is worth a read but not worth waiting on kind of feeling.
