    one of the recent ones (as of my reading) is one piece - characters aged finely, world did change, but not unimaginably, and some bigger changes were elaborated in the story, maybe more will be done in due time.

    I usually do not like time skips. Where I live, there are skips in daily soaps, whenever writers run out of idea, so what the just do is take a big “leap” of almost a generation growing, and often keep repeating the same story, but with new cast. As to why they don’t discontinue? - this is done for some relatively mid or big size ips, smaller ones also have skips, but they usually can not afford to get a new cast, so they keep old cast (as the new cast will often require some time for acceptance (hence require a larger runway) and associated advertising costs) but add some kind of visible change to show some form of progression (maybe change in clothing style, of seasonal change, or maybe visible ageing)

    Also i forgot to add a time skip/ world expansion i did not like - attack on titan. Story changed from a enigma to being country/racial feud. Maybe what i really did not like was how fast it all changed. I understand that it was one part also reflective of how persppective flippped for people within the walls,but i did feel that genre and style of story changed, as if i was dropped in middle of a new story.
