I've noticed it's far more difficult for authors to write a good seinen than a good shounen because the former compels readers to take the content more seriously since it's supposed to be mature, targeting adults. Unfortunately, said maturity primarily manifests in obscene content and not writing. Since it's written for adults my suspension of disbelief is lessened and when suspension of disbelief is lessened you begin to realise a lot of seinen is just an outlet for mentally unwell people to revel in their twisted thoughts of violence and sexual violence. Stories are typically mediocre, there's usually a lot of wanton sex and violence almost to a comedic level, and the characters act like hyperbolic caricatures.

I'm going through Berserk right now though and it's great.

I think it depends really. With seinen there is more of a variety with the content and themes but I think shonen is better personally

And CSM is a Shounen.

There should be a third category where it "doesn't fucking matter. Just have a good story." Seinen gives authors more freedom but I've seen half a dozen that could be equally enjoyed by younger audience and vice versa
