At first, I was going to go for option 1. But then I thought, "Wait a minute, if the artwort is truly 'terrible', I don't think I would read enough to even have a clue how good or bad the plot is. I'd probably look at the first few pages and discard the manga right then and there."

I'm not sure What exactly I consider 'terrible art', but I would never have counted Gokusen, Skip Beat! and Tokyo Crazy Paradise as being part of that category.
Maybe One-Punch-Man could fit that category, looking at the original japanese webcomic, but it kind of reminds me of xkcd, which has its own charms.

On the other hand, I've never picked up Naruto, because it's just plain ugly [and the theme does absolutely nothing] for me.
I've also dropped several Manwha partly because I couldn't get past the art (usually the plot also went places I couldn't stomach), some of it because their fashion was just too busy or weird and some probably because they may be a case of an uncanny valley or mismatched parts, like how several characters in the manwha ONE have lips that look like they belong on real people, while other parts of them remain stylized manga-like.

Counting terrible as meaning something which I find distracting, one of my favourite series has terrible art but I really like the plot and wouldn't drop it - it's the eyes, really weirdly drawn eyes which always take a good couple of chapters to get over each time I read it.

I went with option A, but that doesn't mean I don't care about the artwork entirely. A great plot (or characters or w/e) will get me to read even if the art is complete shit.

But if the plot is only so-so (as is usually the case), the art could easily decide if I bother continuing.

I think of Mob Psycho 100 and Shingeki no Kyojin while doing this poll. Maybe they're not that terrible, just kinda hard to look at LOL

One Punch, enough said ^^

Just wanted to point out an observation I had when this poll first came out.
For the first couple hours of the poll the "unemployed/not looking for a job" option was around 20%. I remember thinking that it felt like that number was awfully high, but then it lowered.
