Thank you for the chapter!

Seeing the dumbass best friends/classmates bullying trope again I see 🤔

 

[ReasonableSuspicion]

Wow, those classmates were stupid. I don't think people are that insistent that a specific person can't be single.

Why do Mangakas/Manga host sites always do the bullshit of splitting chapters into parts? Its such ass for the viewer to have to wait to complete a chapter. I feel like alot of people would prefer to just wait some more for a full chapter release then get half a chapter.

Blame the scanner not the website

I work by myself, for free. Scanning 15 pages is infinitely less daunting and demoralizing than scanning 30-40. If you don't like it, wait until the full chapter is out (if I even continue, this is just one hobby among several).

also they do it because it allows them more time to work ahead, avoiding hiatuses, and gives better work life balance + health to the mangaka

I would usually, i blame the website specifically because the official raws said its 2,1. Im fine if the scanlation releases the same way, i was asking why raws release that way.

My question was answered through the second answer you gave, which makes a lot of sense if its to benefit the health of the mangaka.

I don't think the wellbeing of a mangaka has anything to do with it; it's just how some publishing companies operate. I'm pretty sure the artists/authors are still required to submit complete chapters to their editors for review.

Thanks for the scan. For my part, I hope you keep going - this one has promise.

Reading these early comments had me scratching my head, such entitlement, big baby shit. Complaining bout scanlation has huge loser energy.

That sucks if that's the case. I was under the impression it was to help the mangaka but maybe I'm just naive

I get what you were trying to say. But compare releasing a full chapter once every four weeks to releasing one fourth of a chapter every week; either scenario yields the exact same workload for the mangaka at the end of the day.

But the thing that does have an effect on mangaka wellbeing is the release cycle of a full chapter. It's no secret that weekly full chapter releases like how Shounen Jump does it is unhealthy, lol. So longer release cycles = better for the mangaka.

It's published online, not on print, so view counts is probably a factor.

For Comic Walker / Kadokawa at least, the strat for LN adaptations looks to be to book from a pool of (likely already notable) mangaka.
More often than not, said mangaka would be doing a few other series too (including their own), so what ends up happening is the publisher just orders for a monthly-length chapter, then split it up for release. Monthly series "back then" usually clocks in at around 48 pages, so current series are already hitting under that.
So behind the scenes, it's still likely to be the full workload, but instead of for just one manga it's spread across a bunch of series.

For this series in particular, the Light Novel is currently totally not axed "on hiatus", stuck on Vol. 2 which released last year. Splitting it up extends the lifetime of the manga.

EDIT: Funny thing of note - Comic Walker puts this up on Wednesdays, the same day KuraNika (2nd Prettiest) goes up lol

 

[HawkGoggles]

Yeah, all of these half chapters that have been coming up since the start of web monetization, feels like publishers are trying to squeeze more money out of a single yen. It gives the appearance of "content" when in actuality nothing has really changed. It also doesn't help when sites ask you to pay for things per chapter and they still do half chapters like these.

 

[razorshaleh]

heroine being bullied cause she always getting paired up by her friends just cause she popular. She dumps all her exes cause they’re more into sexual stuff than real love. It’s weird how hard it is for her to say no up front makes her super vulnerable to being taken advantage of anyway she cute & beauty

Thank you for translating

 

[NateDerp42]

Ah yes, the good people...bastards

 

[Resound]

classmates doesnt any love life so they just wanna simp

then bff too fugly so she lost her boyfriend then blame her lol

 

[windfang]

damn her classmate push a guy to her, hang an expectation around her neck and even make her loss friend in the end?
I could totally see why she have enough of popular guy

 

[colorlesseatstomboys]

Glad the friend came out first, because our FL was too kind to see that her friend wasn't a friend, even when they called her a slut.
