I honestly I think I'm going to wait until the Wano arc is finished before I start reading again after getting current. Some people complain about the Dressrosa arc during it's run but I think it's a really enjoyable arc if you were to binge it instead. For me it's because the plot usually advances so slowly each chapter that I can't stand to read weekly.

I keep up with it out of habit but smaller issues certainly stand out more when you wait 1-2 weeks for each chapter.

I dropped it at the end of Dressrosa so I really have no opinion on keeping up with it weekly. Once Luffy starts fighting either Shanks or Teach I might catch up.

Binging is more enjoyable, tho week to week maybe makes you more critical of a certain chapter since you won't just pass onto the next one quickly.

Triennial. I've been waiting since about 2017 to watch the anime again

Wait that's four years

I think I’m gonna read from Punk Hazard to Dressrosa once I catch up with the show I’m watching. Feel like I’ll enjoy them both more if I do.

Week to week for me as I'd probably have little interest in keeping up with the series with the massive step down in writing quality throughout Part 2 if I hadn't gotten current with it years ago with it mainly being curiosity on how events will unfold that keeps me going. That, and it takes up less time with it being less than 5 minutes a week after getting current with it as opposed to binging it for potentially hours.

tho week to week maybe makes you more critical of a certain chapter since you won't just pass onto the next one quickly.
I'd say that's more of a personal thing. I'd probably critically analyse each chapter as much as a weekly one if I were to binge them today, though I'll concede having one chapter to mull over per week allows more focus to be placed on it.

I have pretty bad memory so for me Binging helps me pick up on plot points and narrative beats far better since I'm digesting the entire story in a smaller time frame. Tbh I read weekly right now because I'm too curious about what happens next but I think it's important to read the arc from start to finish after that to accurately review it.
