How many manga do you typically read at once?

This question does not include publishing series that you are reading weekly, because there's a lot of time in-between that you are spending simply waiting instead of actively reading.
I used to be pretty strict on the amount of manga that I would read concurrently. Only allowing myself 3-4 manga at a time. However over time I've come to find out that it works best for me personally to read more, even if it does take longer to finish a manga. I find it helps with when I have fatigue for a particular manga. It's also nice to have variety to suit my moods. Usually I have a more fast paced action manga paired with slower paced slice of life stuff.
Nowadays I usually have about 6-9 that I am actively reading. Although any more than that feels like a bit much for me.

For me the less the better. Right now I'm actively reading... 4? manga and even that feels like too much. Ideally I'd only be reading one thing at a time but my attention drifts a lot.

It does depend on the length of the series, though. Watching/reading one really long thing (since we're talking manga let's say 30+ volumes) and then taking breaks to read several shorter works while getting through that one can be fine too. I just prefer focusing on one story at a time.

I usually read around 8-10 most times, a dozen tops. And then there's the ones that are still publishing that I read when new volumes come out, about a dozen or so

In general, just the one to be honest, but it can also be two or three at the same time if I really want to catch up on the story and so on...

If it is a completed series, I will stick to it and read till the end, even with the ongoing series which I have fallen back behind for quite some time.

I have a lot of series to follow, and I have to read them one by one.
