I don't like it.

I really love this manga, but I don't like the fact that he schrunked into a kid (I have read to volume 7 btw, but I've just checked the newest chapter fast, and I can see that he's still a kid). I don't like that the imbecile "detective" of Ran's father gets all the credit, while Shinichi talks into his little butterfly, pretending to be him.
In the beginning it was interesting, him being a kid, and I get that it's kind of the twist about this manga, but still.. I really liked Shinichi as the 16-year-old highschool boy.

Once in a while, stuff happens and he turns back into his 16 year old self for a short period of time. In the later chapters he finds a women who once belonged to the organization, and gets her to work to create a cure, because she too shrunk to a little girl. So keep reading, because he does turn back, not permanently tho...not yet.

Lol, it happens wayyyy later in the story, but the plot with Conan is much better than anything that could have happened with Shinichi, the BO is just that good. (the story will start to take different approach later) im sure you going to like Conan anyway, but if you're interested in the normal highschool detective boy you could check out Kindaichi case files (although you wont probably find the episodes or chapters anywhere really...) And the characters in Kindaichi aren't that good, but the cases are.

Kogoro stops being as much of an ass later in the story, he's fair and good man too. (thanks to Conan pretty much) I really like what they do as family with Ran and Conan. Kogoro&Eri are my favourite pair in this too.

I've actually didn't mind him still being a kid.
Truth is

In an early episode of the anime (including the manga chapters) Shinichi/Conan Manages to return to his original Form by drinking some alchohol, there is also a girl he meets called Haibara/Ai, she is the creator of the drug and also a victim, like Azn Leo-Kun said, she helps him find the cure and there is also some scenes when he returns to his original form.
And also, it's not too bad that Ran's father gets credit, that helps both him and ran Including Conan/Shinichi Get more money Since He lives with them, it appears Ran's father wasn't really successful and caused big money problems who prevented a divorce to her parents, this helps both Ran and Conan.

I still don't think that i'ts bad though, the plot is always captivating and the fact that the author Keeps on writing new plots and misteries makes it more interesting and full of imagination!
You wont be disapointed on how the drama and story keep overflowing, i didnt regret it.

Argentine, at some point i agree with you, I don't like Shinichi being Conan for this long but never grow up, it just didn't make any sense. However, I like the mysteries, cases, clever tricks in this manga and I want more of it.

That can be explained easily.

The drug he was forced to take made him into a child. so wouldn't it also mean that it keeps him as a child?

"The timeline of Detective Conan progresses yet it doesn't" is what he's asking, Aoyama doesn't care about that he said he only draws what season is out the window and you can see the technology going from phone booths to ipads and the tricks from good ol' country manor murders to Conan VS some hijacker in the next movie... That's just how it goes, I read alot of Manga and you can basically just tell the timeline from "time-skips" and what the author/assistants provide (well even Conan has this) but you almost always find million flaws in those.
The timeline doesn't make any sense in any manga anyway. If you want a Manga with decent timeline you should just stick to Hajime no Ippo, but with it being 1000+ chapters it's bound to have flaws. That's just how it goes...

It just runs on Sazae-san'`s time like Doraemon or many other manga. In the manga it's only benn 6-9 months since he got shrinked.

Have you seen Gintama? It's like that, even the Main plot arcs come out similiarly, idk why but I cant find Gintamas timeline anywhere, pretty sure it has one though.
