Vinland Saga
| I'm currently at chapter 50, what chapter does the farm arc begins at? I constantly hear about the farm arc and how bad it is or how boring it is, though I will try to not make that influence my opinion on this arc once I reach there. |

| You are really close. Few chapters away. In my opinion, and by opinion of many, farm arc is one the best written arcs. But yeah, it's best to not let other's opinions influence you and form your own. AoT spoilers |

How long does this farm arc last? It goes from chapter 55 to chapter 100. Farm arc is like Eren development after the timeskip, but done in the whole opposite way. Keep in mind this: the story is called "Vinland saga", not "North european wars". |

| Just read vagabonds farm arc instead, its better. |
| Honestly I thought Farmland was on par with Prologue (and one of the better arcs in anime/manga but I will admit I am a big fanboy for this series) it was great for character development. The only people who claim it was bad I think were just mostly interested in Vinland for the action. The beginning of this arc (Volume 5 the first some 20 chapters of this arc) though just feels like a medieval slice of life series an incredibly well done one at that though again I can see for those who were more into the action seinen aspect were put off and didn't like that change especially if they don't enjoy SOL series. I will say the action is still there towards the middle/end starting around volume 6 chapter 75 and going forward it's just not as centered around the MC (he still gets his moments though to show off his skills). I could see if you were reading it monthly it could feel slow though compared to binging it all in one go when I got all the volumes like I did. I also do want to point out Thorifinn was a real person this whole story is vaguely based in history it would have to eventually drift from the action heavy parts the story started off with. |

newdawn said: I really loved this arc! Im really shocked that people hate it. This arc is monumental for the character thorfin. It basicly shapes him into the man he will eventually become. It's just that the typical fool thinks if there isn't much killing and bloodshed its bad, unfortunately the majority of readers and watchers think like that, I loved the farm arc, even more than Vagabonds which has been too drawn out and repetitive for my taste. |
| Anyone who dislikes the farm arc because it's not action orientated should go back to reading poorly written battle shounens. The farm arc is wholly important to Thorfin's character arc as well as one of the central themes of the manga. Action for the sake of action is uninteresting and daft. |
| don't let other people deceive you, farmland saga is such great arc and even such an excellent follow arc.. after all shit and turntable events that happened in the first 55 chapters we have this healing arc in which they discuss so many sensitive issues in light of our protagonist character development |
| Farmland saga is not bad if you're not reading it monthly |

| I reached the farm arc today. I'm still in the first few chapters. The main problem is not lack of action. The manga lost its political plot when I thought we were going to have some high ranking struggle against the new king or something like. We were cut off of all that in exchange of 45 chapters of characterization? Nothing in between? |
| I don't think it's bad but it definitely is a bit too long. |

| Action is nice and all, but honestly there are much better manga out there if that is what you specifically look for. Farm arc is great for a different reason and separates it themes from the most other similar manga. AdrianRubinsky said: I reached the farm arc today. I'm still in the first few chapters.

In the middle of the farm arc, there are several chapters on King Canute inheriting Denmark as well as his character development that will lead up to the future plot I am sure. So no not "nothing in between" I would say. |

You get to see more of Canute towards the end of Farmland where he is very important to what happens at the middle/end of this arc. Ultimately though the story of Vinland is about the historic expedition to NA that the real Thorfinn made (granted Yukimura has fictionalized his life a bit). This story is focused around him not Canute though I bet we will see him pop up again later as considering where it leaves him off it implies more development. We probably will see him again in his efforts to create the North Sea Empire and get a final conclusion to that character arc. |

| I am only at Chapter 26 now but I like the fact that people are destroying the fight faggots in this thread. |
 |
| Idk why, but I liked the farm arc more than the prologue. It truly expands on Thorfinn's characterization and showcases his complex personality. |
 |
| The "Farm" arc was great, unexpected it is much more than just being on a farm, alot of scenes also from the outside and quite some action too. People complaining are action junkies that would sacrifice development for action, fuck them, simple, go away watch some garbage pointless action manga. I m sure there are lots of them filling the market already. |
