What went wrong during the Post-Kaioh arcs?
Hokuto no Ken

The same old story.
A manga reach it's natural conclusion but is so succesfull the editor (and probably the author) don't want to give up.
So they keep going until they shit all over their once epic product cause all the good ideas and plot elemnts are already exhausted.

Contract got extended due to popularity and they had to make more arcs that weren't planned to fill the space. It's weird your problem is with the post-Kaioh arcs when most people agree it should have ended with Raoh. I don't think any of the manga was bad but it obviously didn't need to get extended. It was certainly not as bad as the modern versions of this (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Gintama, Black Clover, BNHA, etc.)
Kevin Miller
Kaioh is bad but post-Kaioh almost feels like filler in manga form, also they usually just get ignored in anime adaptations and videogames.
It's a shame because all of it just adds too many tomes and make HnK harder to publish in most countries.
Jose Brown
Why would it be harder to publish? You don't have to commit to all 27 if you don't want to or you can lower print runs for the later stuff. Burgers didn't even publish Dragon Ball as a single series and believe there's such a thing as Dragon Ball Z. If anything, it's better to publish something that has its momentum at the beginning because it's a lot harder to get people to commit to 10 slow volumes at the beginning. Thinking that the later volumes mean you can't even translate the first ones is like saying you can't translate HnK unless you also translate SnK.
Jayden Kelly
Honestly it was too hard to make "new" plot points and stories since HnK was so conclusive.
Ken/Yuria ride off into the sunset, Yuria is going to die and Ken is going to be there in his last moments with her.
Bat/Ren found a place to live
All the Nanto/Houkto Generals were dealt with
The land of Shura though interesting on paper just didnt turn out to be worth the time of day. It didnt add anything of value to the already solid story.

Kaioh (and Falco) arcs are not as good as what came before, but they're acceptable. The shit with Bat and Lin having amnesia is offensively bad.
Daniel Morales
>Bat and Lin
God dont remind me; Lin was forcibly shipped to Bat. That is shit writing. Having Lin have a thing for Ken is fine but they could have let her just love him for afar or some shit.
Jack Morales
Is it just me or did the world after the death of Raoh get worse? That shit with Kotetsu and the Celestial Empire made Ken look lazy

Post Raoh was still decent. Not awesome but decent. Post Kaioh it was basically the manga sobbing and lamenting "please put an end to my suffering" while tragic music was playing in the background.
