Bro thought he was zoro with the triple swords.

 

[wilddeath]

what the... why... am i insane? was this not already uploaded? Is the prince gonna show up next chapter and challenge him to a duel? why the hell does it feel like ive already read these chapters?

Bro thought he was zoro with the triple swords.

I mean, he did look cool.

 

[nomadicengi]

I bet Alec is going to be busy in between their adventures when his friends can't be easily trusted when purchasing supplies and such.

I wonder what the prince will offer or his threats to him after realizing his mistakes.

I really doubt that cliff-hangers cause a net retention in readership.

 

[Dwarfy2k]

It was kind of a nice chapter but then MC ruins it at the end. Also doesn't help with cliff hanger.

I know mangaeffect has until ch23 maybe from there?

 

[larcek]

shitty prince is back, if he does try to get our MC back, things might turn funny. i just hope it doesn't turn into a full talking-no-jutsu chapter.

 

[ciera]

thanks for the mass release

Common practice and resultant sales figures disagree with you....

 

[ConDawg]

Bruh the prince again? Can someone get this dweeb out of the manga, and like, keep him out?

 

[Oeconomist]

Show that the sales figures are higher, rather than lower, with cliff-hangers.

A great deal is done without appropriate data. That is why, for example, disco dominated American pop radio for many months leading up to the anti-disco riot. Program managers each listened to what other stations were playing (which was data), and inferred that listeners wanted disco (which was not shown by the data).

Possibly... But I doubt its (over)use in any serialised media would be so evident if it would turn most people off...

In fact, it's practically a standard for anything serialised nowadays, and I doubt that between the US comics market and the japanese entertainment market some Schmott Guys haven't looked into it extensively.

 

[yun1que]

Meet him, Don't say anything, and then spit on him, then leave. I'd do that.

Popular entertainment does a great many things that turn most people off. Productions bomb for reasons that would have been obvious to most intelligent outsiders. Lucrative franchises are trashed-out.

I doubt that between the US comics market and the japanese entertainment market some Schmott Guys haven't looked into it extensively.

I don't know that the actually smart guys can get the data to answer such questions, and I'm very doubtful that they could get those in control who imagine themselves as smart guys to admit that they might be doing things wrong.

In their heyday, American comic books were directly profitable. For about the last half-century, American comic books have not typically been profitable without the additional revenues from merchandise and movies. Surely multiple factors have contributed to the collapse of direct profitability, but we don't observe any reversal of reversible fundamental changes, to see whether these reversals would help sales. If actual smart guys are involved, then they're optimizing something other than pecuniary profit.

 

[lenovoaxioo]

The prince?

 

[Grikath]

Printed media and profitability is easy: The advertisers went where the public was, and that was initially TV, then online.
( The heady, and...educational.. days where you could find Vampirella next to Donald Duck on the shelves here in Europe... Good times for a growing lad.. Does expain the leotard fetish somewhat, come to think of it.. )

But as far as I can remember, there's always been cliffhangers. Spidey was bad,notoriously so.. So was FF to an extent.
And Batman... Oh gods... Batman and Cliffhangers...
Science Ninja Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets didn't do cliffhangers much, but Macross did. As a Young'un you "fell" for it, as you got older you stopped caring.
And DBZ made such a mess of it, it became a Meme up to this day.
I think it's a matter of suspension of disbelief and "investment", which works for young people and possibly the Average Guy.

Critical readers, not so much. But then again most of this stuff isn't made to get critical acclaim...

 

[itsy23]

The prince is going to challenge the MC to a duel.

 

[Seinvolf]

It works wonders for binge-reading, though.
