Dainana Maouji Jilbagias no Maou Keikokuki - Vol. 4 Ch. 20 - True Power Unleashed

[ZAMAZANA]

Many readers here are complaining about the axing, and I understand that—but I can’t help wondering how many of them actually paid for this work.

According to the explanations given by the author (both the original writer and the manga artist), the main reason for the axing was low sales. In short, if it had been selling well, the series would have continued. So did everyone actually buy the original novels or the manga? Did you contribute to the sales? If not — if you were only reading it for free here — then at the very least, you don’t really have the right to complain.

Incorrect. The axe was due to low sales and the publisher being reluctant to advertise loli Ante and the amputee elf. The slow pace of the series was also an issue as the mangaka tried to speed it up but that just annoyed fans of the LN. It's popular enough it may get another chance after the original author changes the elf and Ante's designs.

That sucks, changing character designs because they're afraid of normies.

If this was supposed to make me want to go and read the novel, this was the worst fuckin' way to do that. This makes me actively want to not do that out of spite.

lol okay i'll read the LN

 

[exxeld]

Legit one of the roughest axes I’ve read literally mid fight as shit was getting good lmao this sucks so hard. Guess I’m reading the fucking novel for more.

Volume 2; chapter 3. But it's so early in the story and barely anything happened at that point, so if you're interested in reading it you should probably just start from the very beginning in vol1.

Thanks for the info.

Sad to see it go but honestly I thought this was never an amazing fit for Comic Gardo, they don't publish THAT much dark shit outside of like Arifureta and stuff that has real dark openers but mellows out and when they do they don't really advertise em for shit. I hope they find somebody who embraces the material in the future.

Noooooo why this was so gooood why did it end?

Well maybe, just maybe, more people would've bought the manga if he didn't take 100 years to release a new chapter!

I've seen webstoons stories release more episodes in 3 months, than this manga has in 2 years!

You say we don't have the right to complain, as if we're the problem here.

Excuse us for not giving our money to a manga project that takes so long to release a new chapter that most of us forgot about it!

Offcourse you are one of the problem. Just because it’s a bakery that rarely opens, does that really justify a thief who only sneaks bites instead of actually paying for the bread? No excuse.

Besides, if you’ve already forgotten about the manga, there’s no reason for you to complain about it being axed, is there?
In the first place, people who are just reading it for free here don’t have any right to complain anyway.

 

[zHIST]

It didn't get axed, it got fucking orbital striked in the middle of a panel. Wtf

You're mixing up moral judgment with market reality. Yes, low sales explain why it was axed, but people are still allowed to criticize why sales were low.

If chapters take so long to come out that people lose interest or forget the series, that’s not “theft,” that's loss of momentum. It's honestly just normal consumer behavior.

Saying readers "have no right to complain" unless they paid just shuts down any real discussion about the actual causes.

Good point. Based on your reasoning, people indeed have the right to criticize about the slow updates.

However, if we are to argue based on market reality, then the “readers” must be “customers” who have actually paid for the work.

This is because the opinions of a group of “readers” who do not pay —who generate no profit— have no direct connection to sales, and therefore there is no obligation to respect them.

That is precisely why I said, “Pay for the work first, then complain.”

Unless that point is addressed, “any real discussion about the actual causes” cannot even be established in the first place.

 

[chiga-kun]

That's a weird part to end manga.
Ah well, back to the novel then.

that's another problem, the novel translation is taking forever

 

[chiga-kun]

it is like the 4th axe since the year started

sad...tf is happening

 

[chiga-kun]

The most abrupt axed ending I've ever witnessed. Kind of understandable that it got canceled with how slow updates were though, over three years for 20 chapters.

true...although the art was peak to me

 

[Reisawaaaaaa]

Ahhhh, another good one got axed

 

[anonymousthief]

They could have at least finished this fight before ending it
