Why are war arcs consistently the worst shonen arcs?

You mean the best ones. Shonenfags are too retarded to follow big wars because their ADHD won't allow them to focus on more than three plot points.

The irony since Wano is literally ADHD with how Oda keeps changing the focus every chapter destroying any build up he could've created, making the story feel dragged out.

They don't know war
They, including the author, thinks that if it's outside the cast's perspective, it does not exist

Schrodinger's plot

>Can I not follow more than three plot points at once?
>No! It must be the author that can't focus on multiple storylines.
Typical shonentard

Not that user, but Hackda has a serious problem with setting up major cliffhangers and then cutting completely away from them for months

Because war by their rules is almost impossible to write.
In OP, every character worth a damn has unique powers. Some of these powers are strategic-tier.
So you would have a battle where hundreds of different abilities go off at the same time, and that's just the ones that are important to (almost) everybody. On a local level, every character would also have to deal with half a dozen different abilities are being shot right into their face.
This is for one highly difficult to work out sensibly (on the author's part), and for another a hell to even attempt to turn into something sensible for the readers of that story. And the harder you try, the slower the story will progress, to the point where readers may not be confused, but certainly bored.

And then in the back of the mind of everybody there is this one piece of knowledge that will serve as poison to the whole thing:
We all know that almost no one important is going to die anyway. All these fireworks are ultimately meaningless. There will be a select few token victims of this war. But they will get their flags and flashbacks in time so you will have sufficient warning. The protagonist's crew, despite being at the heart of the conflict will survive without a single casualty.
The slower the story progresses, the more your readers will be inclined to listen to this poison and either skip ahead (if they are catching up on an existing story) or to just drop the whole thing entirely.

Forgot to write my conclusion:
Therefore, the typical writer of battle shonen will not write a war. But a series of duels, that are sometimes interfered with by passersby, but are ultimately happening in vacuums.

>cutting completely away from them for months
So like every single competent manga authors then. Or do you only read run of the mill shonen shlock like Chainsaw Crap and Shitmetsu?

>Posts series where the best arc is literally a war arc

>30 chapters of running, screaming and clashing followed by the only good character in the series killing the worst character in the series for being a retard
It wasn't enough to redeem that arc

>Reads a dense, long-form, serialized narrative in small bites once a week
>"Wtf why is this so slow"

user made a reasonable point there with Oda abusing cliffhangers and never following up on them, or rarely like there's no tomorrow. He did it again just few weeks ago with the Zunisha crap and them immedetialy cut off to one of his filler b-plots. No need to strawman like that, OPfriends

Because it's "war" made for kids, the readers.

"Months" of serialization is one volume of manga, user. If you actually read One Piece in the way you are supposed to, a cliffhanger at the start of a volume gets answered at the end of the volume.
Also
>user made a reasonable point
Sure you did, samefag.

One Piece is supposed to be read weekly, that's why it's published in a weekly serial...

Then why did you read it in volume format until you caught up, you hypocrite?

Because theyre hard to write and hard to follow. I think Wano is actually pretty well written compared to most other war arcs. Only a couple of the fights feel pointless as opposed to Marineford. Marineford could be boiled down to just a couple events, Akainu kills Ace, Luffy attacks Akainu and is defeated, Whitebeard attacks Akainu and is killed, Shanks ends the fight. Every other plot was secondary to those. The writing in Marineford was really good and made up for the fact that most of it didnt matter, but also if you got rid of all the other action the rest of One Piece would become a grudge match against Akainu. War arcs need to be grand but only so much can actually happen before they become incomprehensible. It’s a balancing act that very few mangas even pull off half effectively.

May have to do with the low or negative death tolls that many of them end up with

>If you actually read One Piece in the way you are supposed to, a cliffhanger at the start of a volume gets answered at the end of the volume.
I will come back to this after the tank with that chapter gets released so we can see for ourselves if what you said holds truth.

>the only good character in the series
shit taste kys akainufag
