General & Others October 4th, 2023 marks 13 years of the Post-Timeskip era - as long as the Pre-Timeskip era was.

Too much stretch. If you cut out all the useless panels and reactions (Usopp's reactions and "Enel facing", only reactions of top tiers or other important characters matters), a bunch of all sorts of useless characters (like those NPCs from Wano), useless actions of the main characters (infamous running up the stairs, etc.), then you can reduce the length of post ts by 40-50% and finish the entire One Piece already. I would also like to note the deterioration in the quality of drawing and paneling. Either the author simply doesn’t care anymore, or Oda simply hired a team to do everything for him while he gives general instructions. It is impossible to degrade so much in drawing when you have been doing it for more than 15 years.

Length-Wise, Post-TS still needs to show 100 more Chapters

Fishmen Island + Punk Hazard ~ East Blue (100 Chapters)
Dressrosa + Whole Cake Island ~ Arabasta Saga + Skypiea Saga (200 Chapters)
Wano + Egghead (Till Chapter 1100) ~ Water 7 Saga + Thriller Bark + Half Sabaody (Till Charlos got Punched)

Just like Charlos Punch triggered Chain of Events that would lead to Pre-TS Final Battle, it seems that Chapter 1100 (Egghead Incident) gonna be the Trigger for Final War

Chapters 1100-1200 are basically Post-TS Version of Sabaody Ending, SHs Separation, Impel Down & Marineford War
With everything that's revealed so far & all Players Introduced, it's truly gonna make Marineford look small

Feel good

Apoo became a legend
Buggy became a legend and more things to gain
Wapol became a legend and got more to gain
Caribou became a legend and got more to gain
Caesar became a legend
Fanservice better than ever than pre ts and it keep getting better
:steef:

Well his health related breaks put us back about 100 chapters so its better to make this comparison in 2-3 years or so.

As someone has mentioned here: story wise its way more cohesive/better/leading somewhere, but the execution is not as good at parts. I stress that because some things like Zou or certain Luffy fights or pretty much the entirety of post-Wano content has been some of the best stuff Oda has done in years

Oda peaked at Dressrosa
Exactly
You could argue Zou as well

How do you feel about the Post-TS now that it's been so long?
Too bloated, too many useless side characters running around.
This was a problem that plagued Post ts One Piece (in Dressrosa, WCI & Wano).
Eventually it leads to the Main cast (aside from Luffy ofcourse) not getting as much screentime as these side characters eat up paneltime.

Most of us readers follow the story for the SHs & not for some newly introduced 1 arc princess.
Lack of panel time for them makes the story lose it's soul, or what made it so good in the Pre ts.
