Yes, I agree I should've changed some of the choices. Next time

A just ruler amongst tyrants

Oh god, it depends. If it's really good and there's nothing extremely urgent to do, I don't mind reading a few hours.
That said, it's been a while since that happened for me. Because it's hard to find a manga like that and even if you do, most don't have that many chapters.

When there's work to do, I also like to alternate between reading a chapter and then continueing my work.

I can quit whenever I want. I just don't want to.
I don't have a problem, YOU'RE A PROBLEM!

Do but despise reason and science,
The highest of all human gifts -
Then you have surrendered to the Devil
And must surely perish. - J.W. von Goethe

Where's the 'at the end of this arc' option...?

That said, there's a lot of variation, like what I'm stopping for, what time it is, what kind of manga I'm reading, how interesting it is... it could go anywhere from stopping in the middle of a chapter to 4 hours during which I keep thinking 'need... to... stop... now...'

[color=black]Well normally, “ Just one more chapter... or 50 ”...
But, in case of immediate need like Study purposes and family problems, I would go for, “ Let me finish this chapter ”...but, depends on the situation, I might choose, “ I can stop mid-chapter ”...!

I never had a good self-control to begin with...say Games(virtual and physical) or Story or Movies or Anime...not in anything...And especially not in case of food, ya...I'm a glutton...but, not a bit fat...rather I'm even lacking the necessary amount of it ~![/color]

Yeah, it varies. Like someone above wrote, unless there's something extremely urgent to do, I prolly wont stop until it gets boring. Case in point, when I read Vagabond, Berserk and GTO; I finished the chapters of all of these mangas (those released at the time), and a few other mangas, within days.

Read from morning till evening! I had nothing better to do, so I ended up in a manga-binge. Thankfully these didn't get boring... 🤣

Completely depends on how important/urgent the reason is, for why I need to stop reading.
I can be, as I was once, when I was reading a book before going to sleep "just a bit more ...until I finish this chapter ...just one more chapter ...and another...[this goes on for a while] eh... it's morning. I guess I'll just give up on sleep and go get breakfast" (it was a very good book)

However, if it's urgent enough, I'll just stop, instantly (especially as I know myself, and know that "just a little bit..." can be dangerous).

Hmm.. A little bit difficut.. Mostly "Just one more chapter... or 50".

"Until death do us part" or "When I finish the series" is when I read 20th Century Boys, Homonculus, Parasyte, something like that~
I remember the time I read Noblesse in LINE Webtoon on my Xperia Z2 from chapter 1 until 346 in just two days (on weekdays). OH GOD MY EYES 🤢

But for some urgent matter (like study or family) I can even stop mid-chapter since RL is more important. 🙂

I don't read as much manga as I used to, the days of binging are over. So if I want to stop reading something, I will just stop. I like to finish the chapter I'm reading though.

I can usually stop mid-chapter, but I usually finish it and bookmark the next chapter or just bookmark the first page of the chapter I didn't finish. I used to read manga until I was about to pass out. I've pretty much read all the manga I liked and now just wait for new chapters to come out. I mostly use my time watching pirated TV shows and movies nowadays. Only read periodically.

Dunno if anyone else noticed because I'm too lazy to read the other comments, but the last choice has the word "any" twice. Just a small typo.

-No longer do I quote great scholars, the famous, etc. Kids feigning wisdom ruined it.
--I wont type a post like a college report. If you don't read it just for that reason, you don't have to post why your hoity-toity ass refused to. I swear, so many people on this site are so full of themselves. A lot seem to think they always have an "intelligent and/or logical" point or show signs of a superiority complex. They never admit they're wrong. Maybe partially, but excuses abound! :\
-Stop mailing me about my comments. I don't read them.

Why would I need to stop reading a manga ever?

I have little to no self-control, though my reading leads more to sleep deprivation then to work not getting done. Also, it's easier for me to not start, then it is to stop once I've started... So my main way of self control is just not reading at all for a day 😐

When I start a new manga and it gets good I could mean to only read a few chapters but usually end up staying up all night reading until it finishes or I'm all caught up.

I can drop everything I'm doing at a moment's notice if I need to, even sleep.

Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.

I don't stop mid-chapter, they're not long enough to ever inspire me to. Other than that I'll stop whenever; I've been quite busy with other things lately so not much time for reading manga.
