Huh, that's interesting. The newer series have been jumping up occasionally, so I guess this isn't that unusual.
LOL, it's actually just funny at this point. Shueisha hasn't said a word for KNY breaking the record, hasn't said a word about the ridicolous explosion the series has had, planned a reprint 2 days after release a month in advance so first print wouldn't exceed 3mln and the only thing they say about it is..."but look guys, Wano is fun too!".
I think Bleach Naruto and One Piece are all abnormalities and can not be any measure to current manga because they were that big. Bleach alone had over 20 Video Games on top of 4 movies by the time the Anime ended . There are still People that are releasing discussion videos on youtube with over 100k views on events that happened 12 years ago in the manga. The world wide impact those 3 had is pretty irreplaceable.
What about Gintama? IMO, I would definitely count Gintama among the series that work and don't decrease in quality despite its length.
Reminds me of this recent comment from a longtime editor at Shueisha, lol:
There's a difference between MC and protagonist. The MC is the character from which perspective the story is told while the protagonist is the character that drives the plot forward. All three characters you mentioned are protagonists, but only Teppei is the MC. Mitama's MC is Rena and Undead Unluck's MC is Fuuko because the stories are told from their perspectives. Btw, it's interesting to note that Jump seems to have a huge increase of series with female MCs and another character (usually male) being the protagonist (Mitama, Undead Unluck, Moriking and from the way it seems so far Magu-chan as well).
I know food anology is dumb, but bear with me. McDonald is the biggest restaurant chain in the world. But does it serve the best food, or even good food?
I like Gintama a lot, but it's not really good when it tried to be serious. Honestly I dropped it after shogun died and only pick up when the ending being announced, then had to witness how bad Gorrilla at planning.
Same
Fujimoto should just do whatever the hell he wants, but I would love to see his take on either a traditional romance or romcom. His one-shots have some interesting ideas in that category that would be fun to see in a full serialization!
This is your opinion some people like long shounen some peopel don't.
Is official, Lemon is irrelevant
I think Denji is still 17
I agree with all you just said.

Not that I disagree that saying sales = quality is stupid, but all 3 of those sold better than FT ever did per volume.
Success is not a metric defined by chapter number. Otherwise you could claim Bleach is more successful than dragon ball, or that Saiki K. is more successful than Slump.
Wikipedia doesn't have sales per volume so dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sales numbers are an interesting metric, they just aren't there to measure quality. I have no idea why anyone would try to argue otherwise. By this logic the best movies ever made would be Avengers and Avatar.
