Is it just me or yuri manhwas are much better? Like seriously, I've read Pulse and am reading Tamen De Gushi and they are consistently good throughout.
I finally realized Citrus being "almost good but never satisfying" is what makes it so famous xD The same relationship Yuzu has with Mei, readers have with this manga lol The relationship quality actually sucks overall and the solution is obviously to run for the hills, but the inconsistent rewards keep everyone hooked.
I don't know--there are plenty of serialized works (many of them on this site) that are not fabulous works of art but are interesting enough to keep reading (or in the case of TV dramas/soap operas, watching).
I'm a bit puzzled by how polarizing Citrus is; I see it as being a bit like "crack Kdramas"--significant parts of the story may be trite or laughably handled, but there's some aspect--usually the chemistry of the leads or a compelling individual character--that hooks some people and keeps them hooked. It's just that in this case the popularity of the series seems to push people away from an "it's OK enough to keep reading to find out what happens" position into love-it or hate-it camps.
Yuri manhwa have their charms, but for some reason a number of them that I've enjoyed reading overall have had (to me) very rushed, or disappointing endings. So I'd hesitate to call them "better" overall--just different.
