After catching up I honestly feel this series is simple riding off the hype it got from the anime and also for the fact that Togashi is seen by many as a god in terms of writing.
I don't agree that the series is "riding off the hype it got from the anime". I don't know what exactly are you talking about - whether about HxH's popularity in Japan or in the west. If Japan, then anime had nothing to do to "hype" this series - it was always selling the same which is great (iirc, only SnK and OP sell better). If anything, the new anime was made just because the series is so big there.
When it comes to west - yes, there was a supply of many new fans of the series because of the 2011 remake but still it was always highly regarded and relatively popular.
That being said, I agree that the series isn't really exciting at this point. Maybe if there was no hiatus, then tens of these "build up" chapters wouldn't be so annoying. I think Togashi needs to step up his game - release more chapters more regularly. If not, only two things can happen to this series: abrupt, rushed ending or never ending at all.
