if the pacing is terrible means it is unwatchable but I don't think that much people dropped hxh compared to other long series.

I thought it was unwatchable at times personally. The two worst offenders to me are the middle portion of the Chimera Ant arc (the Phantom Troupe showing up for no reason and the narrator explaining every insignificant surface level detail for no reason) and the current arc in the manga (there has been little to no progression of the narrative and we’re like 40 chapters in, it’s just all surface story so far).

Examples? I'm not saying it is perfect but saying "full of plot holes" is a bit exaggeration.

I don’t want to write 2000 words on everything wrong with the series so I’ll just name a couple of the dumbest ones. Nen being a secret from the public makes no sense. Based on the large number of people in the series who know it or heard of it (both hunters and non-hunters), the amount of time it’s been in existence (at least as old as Netero over 100 years), and the number of people who just don’t even try to hide it (guys making clones of themselves during televised fights, Gon just randomly telling people about it saying “I don’t see the harm in it”, Zushi flat out telling Gon and Killua what nen is, etc.), you gotta wonder how it’s even a secret. My guess is that Togashi simply wrote it like that for the convenience of its introduction.

Another awful one was the old dude who bought all the Greed Island games. It was revealed that his ultimate goal was actually to get the angel breath card to save his wife from a coma. But he didn’t think to tell anyone about that and just hired hunters to go into the game and give him all their winnings. If you win, you get to choose 3 of 99 cards. You’d think this guy would want to tell them which card to pick but I guess not. I don’t even know why that plot line was even in the story tbh. It was very poorly written and literally added nothing.

There’s also in the chimera ant arc when Netero devised this super complex invasion plan just to bomb the crap out of Meruem anyway. They could’ve just bombed the palace and killed all the bad guys at once. And yes, there was a point where they knew the ants were in there without any innocent bystanders in the way. I’ve had people tell me “Netero just wanted to fight Meruem because he’s a selfish old man”, but that’s a pretty stupid reason for Netero to do something that extreme and just makes him a very stupid and plot conveniencey character in my opinion. I honestly prefer to think of it as Togashi just paying no attention to what he was writing.

At its peaks, HxH can be really good, but my god is it sloppy.

This was a hard choice between Hisoka and Chrollo.. I picked Chrollo because of his calm tangents. He also has that drip though.

They are good and i can understand why someone like them.

But I like characters like Pariston ,who are not easy to grasp. They don't show their motives to viewers and viewers have to comprehend them by themselves.

Imo Pariston is one of the most unique character. He doesn't believe in losing nor does he believes in wining, he doesn't love anyone nor does he hate anyone. Simply speaking he doesn't consider anyone worth of him (except Ging) that's why he doesn't shows characteristics of hate, jealous,grief and other negative emotions .He hides behind the curtains and do all the evil things. He is also master in winning peoples' hearts and manipulating them, thats the type of character Pariston is , character with twisted personality and motives (tho his goals are still not clear).

i get the point,but thers's a problem with such antagonists that their area of influence is limited,Meruem and chrollo have vast roots,so i consider them my favs,pariston is definitely a great guy and everything,but in the end,nothing much,infact,nothing was revealed about him.

When the Phantom troupe first appeared i was shitting myself. They just had this terrifying aura as a group.

Hisoka is a good antagonist but nothing too villain-y. chrollo overrated. Pitou was great and had one of the best villain entrance fights and actions ever. The reat of the guards were bleh and nothing special. Especially Pouf who showed no good feats.

Meruem also, barely a villain. The longer he would have staid on earth the more he would have accepted humans and allowed them to self govern.
But i will say, the whole collective of the Chimera ants were pretty frightening for a while until most became fodder
