You don't suppose the mangaka is going to destroy the setting so she doesn't have to write two sets of stories in the same world do you? Sinbad's Adventures is basically his life leading up to the current time-line. Following in Sinbad's footsteps while also seeing him make them would lessen the impact in both.
She doesn't want to put effort into building the world for the Magi manga, because Sinbad's manga is going to use the same locations and characters. I mean, for the last year we've seen the Reim Coliseum, Magnostadt which didn't even exist during Sinbad's Adventures, and the interior of Kou's palace, which also may not have existed.
She's going to destroy the Magi world and all of it's story lines so she can save them for Sinbad's manga. It's been a very ugly, brutal process and I despise the idea that she's literally destroyed one of her manga's to make writing the other one easier, but it would explain things.
In the end, all we'll have left of the Magi manga will be the main cast. All the minor characters will be gone (though probably reincarnated in the new setting because she is just that lazy). The new setting will probably be more challenging to the cast despite their powers.
I don't know. If this is really the case, then I'm offended. Building up a world and a cast and then flushing it all down the drain just so you can make more money off of a side project. How terrible. Why should there be any faith or trust in the mangaka to continue to deliver if she's willing to drop a manga in all but name for her own convenience? This isn't a labor of love. It's a pay check.
