I hate it when chapters are split. Why do raws even do that?
At least tls instantly translated both parts and put them up so that the second existed when the first was finished reading.
I know right. I miss the days where we'd get full chapters. It wasn't even that long ago. What happened?

Scanlators do it to force you into seeing more ads on their site as instead of 1 page view per chapter they get multiple.

Official sites may also do it for ad purposes but they benefit more by gaming the way manga apps charge by chapter.

Lots of apps have "one free chapter a day" or each chapter costs however many coins or tokens so by splitting up chapter they can effectively get you to pay 2 or 3 times for one chapter

It's an easy way to stretch out normal length content and squeeze money (or clicks or whatever value the publisher/creator is after). Why did WB turn the hobbit (1 book shorter than anyone of the LOTR books) into a trilogy?

Ah, petty greed. Cheers for the insight.

Square's latest "official" Manga reader app is easily the worst version of this I've seen so far. The idea is to take advantage of the move towards short form content. What's really sad is how well it works. People happily (or don't-careingly) pay the same for less content and don't realize the drop in received value. It's a really easy tactic on ad sites like you mentioned too because there's no exchange of money so it's difficult to immediately see how much you're getting screwed over (its a tangent but free and ad-tiers have really trained consumers not to do a cost-value analysis or anything similar people typically do without thinking when money is involved).

Funny how lazy in their jobs everyone got that Aix was able slip thru the cracks without anybody noticing. Luckily, the dude is good at his job when given enough motivation to do it but I don't think he'll be able to get Aix to return. It would be funny that they'll somehow miss him and the rabbits beat him because of it.

RABBIT LEGION LET'S GO :LOL:

I circumvent that by using Android emulator. When the initial credit ran out, I delete the old emulation and create a new one. However, the app's monetization scheme was really atrocious. Once you pay to read the cut up chapter, the access expired after 2 weeks. So you basically pay to rent the chapter to read.
