Readers of Doron Dororon complained that its plot hurtled towards a rushed climax. It was taken as an evidence for the manga being axed soon.

If it's not worth reading in 2 vols or making the sales than it's not worth keeping around

There were others who suspected that the author might have been forced to rush the plot.

His editor definitely took the reins at some point like "okay we did it your way and we got our first warning, let's see if we can salvage it", but that wasn't enough.
What's Horikoshi's situation?
