Not in the fandom, but isn't SnK a monthly series? If so, then he has more time than those with weekly series.

Yeah, more time but not much. Manga authors are know to have very little free time.

Monthly series of long (50 aprox. pages per chapter) chapters, so he has more time to work on it than if it was a weekly series, but not by much (weekly series tend to have 15-18 per chapter).

Yeah, no. Monthly series are still demanding and as the anon above me said, you still have to do like 10-12 pages a week vs. 17 a week with a weekly.

Seriously, try to make a comic from scratch to finish and you realize it is not easy at all.

And don't forget that mangaka do promotional art and/or special projects (especially if they're hot in the moment like Isayama is right now) and redo the art for the tankoubans on top of that. Then there's the responding to the fans, the meet n' greets, the consulting with the anime staff and the staff who are doing the spinoffs, etc., etc.

And you're trying to have a life on top of that. Not so easy to have some time just to practice. Mangaka are pretty much expected to practice like drawing out the story. Hence a lot of art evolution you see in manga. To be fair, Isayama improved a lot over the past couple of years. Not perfect but tons better, especially if you ever read the prototype for Shingeki with that Ymir look-a-like.
