What I fail to understand is how this Manga maintains such as high rating as it continuously get worse. My two cents;

The Golden Age, like most agree, was the best part of the whole manga series - great characters, great plot, great everything. Nothing was off the table. It was brilliant and fresh from the typical plot coddling narratives we read time and again.

Then the baseline takes a gradual nose dive - going from raw blood and darkness to sinking into an irritating trickle supply of magical girls, naruto boys with magic fairy daggers, and otherwise characters who are best labeled as unimpacting.

For the last few years I've struggled to slog through the newer content and I think of the times where Berserk was... Berserk. You are left now with Depresso in Candyland meets dystopia, and special needs undergoes fairy therapy. All this wrapped underneath magical girl and friends.

And you know at this point that the writer isn't the same guy who wrote Golden Age because another kill off would be inconceivable and too edgy for him. All of this boils down to just taking the horse out back... and dropping the series rather than punishing yourself.
