Because there was no immediate communication between England and America British readers would find out whether a beloved character lived or died weeks before the American readers.

For some reason, I was under the impression that Dicken's
Pickwick Papers was the original serialized in a cheap form novel.
I read quite a few science fiction novels that were originally serialized in Astounding/Analog, Worlds of If, etc. Now most of the serialized stories I read are in the Grantville Gazette. As long as the break is at a reasonable point, it's not bad.
