Don't even talk about manga that last way too long...berserk has been going on like for 27 years and it is far from ending u.u I'm sure the writer (kentaro Miura) is going to die before he manage to finish the story.
Well but you said it, that's not how this industry works, they write to please the fans most of the time, same thing by adding ero-scenes when they don't add absolute nothing to the plot, again fan services.
I think many people enjoy not having a real closure to the story, they can imagine what will happen with the characters and that's part of the fun... and it's far easier to write an open ending because you can't screw things up this way, the open interpretation is better than having something awful that will turn out to be canon to the story because it is there and you can erase anymore... for example muv luv alt.
And last they can keep milking the franchise by doing this.
the first part wasn't then it was... again when the plot wasn't about nature and those stupid fights between gaia and the guardians it was actually good.
Maybe it can help a bit but I don't think that that's the key to it...they key is... none... really, either you are good or you are bad, you can certainly improve or "refine" your skills but if you are mediocre or bad you wont improve by reading, I read a lot and can't write anything good... and I know people that dont read anything and can write amazing things in a few hours.
copy those files and replace the ones that are inside "Sharin no Kuni, Yuukyuu no Shounenshoujo -English" (copy-paste-replace)
I didn't have to install the game, maybe you have a different version, got mine from the old fuwa
just replace the files "patch.xp3" and "yukyu_patch.xp3" that's the whole patch, btw play only the masaomi and eri's routes, the other ones are pure shit and they are bad translated too.
