No.

Oh damn, really? Feels like ages since I read last, so I assumed there should be a lot. Guess Araki is slacking.

As for why... there's tons of creativity here, sure, but the overall narrative does nothing for me really. I'm not invested. I don't actually care about the characters, a sharp contrast to SBR. If we're talking pure fight creativity, sure, though a LOT of JoJolion fights involve running away.

I can kind of understand. The plot for me took a while for me to really get invested, and I still don't really get a lot of whats going on. I can also kind of get not likeing the characters, but the only one I really don't like is Joshu, the rest of the family is good, Gappy is weird but good, Yasuho is great. But yeah, comparing to SBR, they aren't even on the same level as Johnny or Gyro.

As for running away, I like it. Stakes are higher because I don't believe we have a healer of any sort really. Part 4 and 5 had Crazy D and Gold Experience, Part 6 had bullshit with Stone Free, and 7 had some bullshit with Hot Pants. And my memory could be failing right now, but I don't recall anything at all to heal in 8. So if they get messed up in a fight, it's a bit harder coming back. So making a run for it to find an advantage or get out of a particularly nasty situation is a nice change of pace.
