It was great up until the end of the conviction arc, and it was still enjoyable up until they got on the boat.

Falconia is when the character art went to shit ( guessing that's when the assistants took over) and I dropped it.

Honestly, no. It had one notable arc, which was the Golden Age, and even that didn't feel as masterfully written as many made it out to be. I will admit that the Eclipse is still one of the most shocking things put out in manga, but that's about it. I'm also one of the few people that hated Conviction and felt like Miura was trying hard to one up himself on how edgy he could make Berserk. As a result Some parts felt like borderline grimderp. Millennium Falcon was actually kind of enjoyable and seeing Griffith btfo Ganishka and create his new kingdom was nice. Fantasia was a whole lot of nothing that's rendered completely null after the recent chapters. The story just feels like it's been going around in circles for decades now with no end in sight.

user, I...

Black Swordsman and Golden age were popular because you had a big dark brooding badass who turned out to be complex and injured. Then add in the shock of the eclipse which was basically the red wedding before the red wedding and everyone will forever hype it up as the best thing ever. Most people though mainly have such a lasting impression because they speed watched the 1997 anime and got shocked by the eclipse.

Still my favorite series anyways

Lost Children was it’s peak

I personally enjoyed Berserk’s gradual evolution from a grimdark Conan manga into a high fantasy story complete with Guts’ own Dungeons & Dragons RPG companions.

I haven't read this in like 15 years, but the manga was good until approx. when he got the berserk armour

The start was shonen but acceptable since it was edgy dark.
The Golden Age was the Golden Age of Berserk because it was more than one character, it was relationship between lead characters, strategy plus world building.
After that it moved rather slowly but that was good.

It all went to shit the moment Muira indulged his pedophilia with the loli-witch, likely sooner since he had to set it up.
From there it's was essentially uninspired filler fight against progressively stronger foes.
Guts surrounded himself with a bunch of comrade who are pointless, superfluous or bad joke.

By the time Casca finally came back Muira have at least that to his name there was no way she could be useful in their fights save someone activate magic-cancelling stuff then provide Guts with an army to take over Falconia.
