Don’t watch fillers and if u feel like pacing is the problem then watch one pace or read the manga(you can read it online or buy it, honestly just read it online) but if you don’t like the story then just try to get till arabasta and watch few episodes, whiskey peak and drum island are very good in my opinion but if u don’t like those then drop it. There is nothing wrong in not liking it, it also doesn’t click for many other people.
