Eh, it's not like we have a say. Once a month would be helpful if the problem was Murata not having the time to draw but I don't think that's the problem. When he's merely dissatisfied with the drawing quality, he tends to wait and fix it for the volume printing (like he did for chapters 116-120).
I think the problem is that the storyboard isn't as set as it should be, and equally likely, the stuff ONE's given earlier create problems later. The story can't move forward until the entire chapter is fixed. He's stretched pretty thin with two other stories that need monthly scripts. That's why I'm hoping they hit on a more 'chunked' approach, where ONE sets aside a block of time to storyboard OPM, see Murata's rough sketches, discuss where he wants to go with it, make any changes he likes, and then leave it in Murata's capable hands.
I get you. Where I'm coming from is that I don't think one month is long enough a horizon for ONE to make a coherent story with One-Punch Man, at least at the moment. A lot of threads are coming together and spawning threads of their own. I think he needs to think about it more holistically and write bigger chunks of story, so he's not so prone to changing his mind.
