A day late to the party, but the Hunter x Hunter manga started serialization on Weekly Shonen Jump 20 years ago.... 14 of those years being composed of different (non-consecutive) periods of hiatus. No wonder it eventually got it's "Hiatus x Hiatus" nickname.
As someone who got into the series around mid-to-late 2014 I don't really have anything to say other than it has become my second favorite manga/anime series of all time (it used to be on first place until I discovered certain manga later on), that and the Hisoka vs Chrollo fight being my favorite portion of HXH so far. I never would have imagined that so many years of hype would actually pay off so well. Totally worth the wait.
EDIT: as for how I got into the series. Well, I have some vague memories of a Youtuber mentioning the name. I thought it sounded cool and that's it. I jumped into the series while knowing next to nothing about it other than "there's some child looking for his father". Needless to say that increased my overall enjoyment.
