It seems like people that don't like this manga hold it up to some standard that there has to be hype involved in it built upon previous hype etc...Like most manga do to keep readers interested. But Berserk is different, It is stated by the Author that Berserk is more about Emotion than Logic unlike most other manga that are Logic>Emotion. So there is a lot of emotional growth within Berserk which can be very boring to a lot of people or very good to the ones that love this series. If Berserk was like any other average series, by this current chapter there wouldn't be any character growth in a lot of these characters and the main character would of gotten his revenge a long time ago.
