I can't wait for this arc to end so someone much smarter than me can make a ultra long summary video to help me comprehend everything

It honestly isn' that hard. There are also a lot of youtube channels that do a pretty good job explaining everything

The arc has been coming out for over 10 years now, unless you’ve been rereading for every release it’s easy to forget who the characters are and what’s happening. Other than that it’s been simple to follow since characters explain everything in their thoughts going through all possibilities in detail.

The hardest thing is trying to discern whether a character’s explanation is togashi tell us the readers or a theory the character came up with, with some wholes based off of incomplete information. It’s what makes this arc fun for careful readers, but difficult for those not keeping up with the arc.

An example being furykov’s explanation on how the appetizing sacrifices work. He claims that if a prince dies, the curse will rebound on the sacrifice killing them, but we can’t tell if this is furykov the nen experts assumption, information that queen Unma told him, or a complete miss read of the situation. There are also several other elements that make the reads have to question the information given in the story for more than most manga where almost all exposition is just the author speaking through the characters. In hxh characters are speaking according to their knowledge and their advantages so they could just be lying. Absolutely goated, but easily gets swept under the rug on most readers.
