The assumption that something will improve after a rough launch based on nothing but pure faith in the author, the potential of the material, word of mouth, subjective opinion etc. It's a belief system that runs hand in hand with the idea of the "payoff", something I don't subscribe to. That something being that if you suffer through what you find mediocrity eventually there will be some sort of reward in terms of enjoyment as a series hits it's stride....or not. I actually know all about the future of the series believe it or not (it still doesn't sound all that impressive, but I could always be wrong), but to discuss it would be tantamount to spoilers and manga spoilers are not always welcome in anime adaptation threads.
You're acting like reading takes actual physical effort.
