hey i'm just making an observation
So do I. Sure, we won't have 9 volume monsters anytime soon but most people don't even want those. I'm one of the few people who don't say SK should've been cut down to size. And Aoi Hana alienated a lot of people (including me) once Shimura started to ignore the main character for months at a time and meander with side characters that never amounted to anything only to kick off the Ah-chan-jojo period.
We have a lot more series, oneshots, doujins, porn, visual novels and even anime appearances now than we had just 5 years back. And, to get back to my original point, most of those have a happy end. Read some of the earlier oneshots or series here and see how unusual that was.
