How do you feel about long-running manga vs. shorter, self-contained series?

[CiderHype]

Some stories stretch on for years with hundreds of chapters, while others wrap up neatly in a handful of volumes.

Which do you prefer, and why?

• Long-running epics that let you really sink into the world
• Short, self-contained series that tell a complete story quickly

Let’s hear your thoughts!

Both. But in a different sense. Same manga, but divided into different titles. What I'm trying to say is, the same manga has many different volumes, and each volume tells different arc, but all of them under one overarching plotline. It feels tedious to see "oh now we are on 1000 chapters" but if I see "ok 30-chapters is done, now onto the next title, and another 30 chapters", that is better in my opinion
