I'm fine with it. If he wanted to finish the story and died in the process, like Miura did with Berserk, I might be more conflicted about it. At this point, Martin's laziness exceeds the time Guts and the crew spent on that damn boat by years.
If I could say one thing to Martin, it would be that he shouldn't be content to let someone else end the story because look how that turned out. He should want to restore its reputation before he passes on but whatevs. If he doesn't care enough to find a way, why should I?
I always hoped that Hidetaka Miyazaki would have talked to Martin about Miura while the two of them were collaborating on Elden Ring. You know, something of a nudge to remind him that he is still alive and should finish his story before he doesn't have the chance to.
I also think Studio Gaga should have gone to Miyazaki for some guidance on Berserk's continuation since he understands the material very well. Maybe noit as the chief director of the project moving forward but maybe someone that can help with the tone, pace and themes of the story. Didn't happen, though. Miyazaki probably would have refused the offer, anyway.
