You should have checked with people who read it all first! Everyone and their dog loves the Golden age arc, and rightfully so. It's amazing stuff. Large parts of the Conviction arc that comes after are great too. What most people don't talk about, because they haven't read it, is that the following 2/3 of Berserk is boilerplate shounen trash with no end in sight, even after Miura's death. It's probably the biggest disappointment in manga history, comparing its initial premise to what it became. It's unironically a damn shame.

I mean shit, Griffith isn't even a part of half the fucking series and there are extended sequences of Guts either taking a backseat to the new "party members" or just outright jobbing entirely. I get mad at what Berserk became to this day.

I'll just let this final brush stroke sentence make my case for me: dozens of chapters of magical secret loli witch/fairy island after unrelated pirate adventures and jeet wars.
