"the ones that take forever to complete a story arc get boring over time"

"but makes it easy for those catching up"

^PRECISELY!!! Even with Bleach, I caught up quite quick since even though at times it was cliche and boring and some of the horrible fillers not counting the Muramasa arc, it was still fun to watch especially with the hilarious extras at the end of each episode. Naruto is well... Naruto. You would complete it anyway. One Piece..... it just doesn't. I've tried picking it up again several times but I just can't. I was massively disappointed and bored before I even reached the 100th chapter so maybe that has something to do with it :/

Toriko and Fairy Tail were different, once I felt like it, I just sped through it. Well, the Toriko anime being near the manga helped as well though, but if I had the time, I would have easily read all of Toriko, its just so engrossing(even more if you ignore Komatsu -_-). I think RAVE is the best example you know where I was engrossed in it all the way till the end, without pausing for long intervals. Another(which you don't know) would be Hayate no Gotoku, I read 350 chapters with much enjoyment in a short time, albeit I had to pause at some points when there was no plot plus I had to reread chapters as well since the anime never sticks to the manga 100% and I just have this urge to see how much the anime has changed from the original. Kimi no Iru Machi is another example but unfortunately it started going downhill after Ch. 234(the point where I first started reading) The World God Only Knows is also good. It has multiple factors to keep you interested in the story and so is very easy to complete and the arcs are relatively short but at the same time really amazing.

I'm still trying to find time to complete Beelzebub. I don't want to pause at times, I want to just read it continuously and to do that, I need enough free time.

There has to be a reason as to why I can complete all those other considerably long series with a passion but not One Piece. :/ What is it about One Piece that is so unappealing to me? Its still a good series after all. I know I point out all my faults with it, but I also point out many faults in other series and some have far greater ones than the ones in OP. Maybe its a combination of multiple faults unique to OP that cause my attitude towards it. Who knows....
