If you aren't already invested in the series and are still reading it to see its completion. Would you recommend someone Read or Watch One Piece at this point? Or get involved with the community?
Of course I would, Is it a rethorical question?
Maybe I would tell him/her to wait another year and then start reading by volumes and not a binge reading

You have to avoid being too fast, but also you have to postpone the weekly reading, it ruins the whole experience!
And that leads to the final question and related answer: no, I would not recommend joining a community, not before having read all chapters. Only then It can be useful being part of a community, maybe where you can confront, read theories, analysis etc (so stay outta here

)
