Let me reply here *because I'm on mobile and i dont understand jack shit abt writting on forum lol.
- of course they (author/mangaka) likes to read the praise and reading fan letters. BUT most of them are closetted hunk, hikkikomori, most of them didn't really want to read testimony or any criticism, instead us as editor will read all of you guys comments, we analyze what good and not for they to hear, is this a constructive criticism or just plain slander?
We also filter your words, but ofc they (author/mangaka) allowed to have access to read all the negative comments. But i think Negi probably never check his mention tabs lol.
- of course all of fans are allowed to put in some words of critics, but remember reviewing how this chapters goes is better than whining why this chapter gone not in the way you wanted.
If you all read Bakuman, you probably know that the storyboard for this chapter and 5 chapters ahead already under review by his editor and publisher. Any last time changes will only allowed if the editor could monitoring that chapter.
- Hiatus?
My dude, he can't afford hiatus. His series is on ride for the hype, you'd think Negi is not a bussinessman?
He can't afford hiatus, not when he knows his reader are seasonal readers. After 5toubun, ended most of his reader are probably finding another shit to pile on.
- if he want to put hiatus, in case, the slot in their weekly magazine will have one empty space to fill in. He has to put at least a month notice before he coule think about hiatus. And mean time, the editor and publisher has to find another series or one shot to fill his empty slot.
- i want to write more about this industry, there are many facts are over-looked. But for mean time, I'll only put this much. Ta-da
