Yeah

Yeah, that... that is a failing as a professional.

For a professional whose craft is based on the construction of a storyline, the "habit" of abandoning the work at some indeterminate point is something that tarnishes the reputation of such an artist, because... why should people get invested in his work if there is a risk of the artist simply leaving it unfinished?

I started reading Im Dal-Young's works during my early years of reading manga/manhwa, and i think it was at the peak of his popularity... but when his infamy started to pop up, for a good reason.

Because of that, I didn't even keep reading Freezing.
fanbox is more accurately zugoyas profession at this point though, the series are just advertisement for it

Sure, there is this "explanation"... but there is a thing called artistic integrity.

Look... don't get me wrong, I know I am a leecher here, I am the person reading the work for free on a foreign site in a language that isn't even my main one, I know I have no grounds for complaints.

But keeping at that integrity is one of the things that constructs trust, if an author starts a story then abandons it, does it make you trust that author, even if you really like their art?

Like I said I have no real grounds for complaint, and have even less problem with him focusing on his fanbox... but you need to keep at the things you start, otherwise... there are consequences on the side of the consumer.

Whenever I see something like that I remember this heartbreaking scene:

Fate/stay night [UBW] - Illya's Death [60FPS/upscaled] (reversed) - YouTube's Death [60FPS/upscaled] (reversed) - YouTube
You ain't need to do this. Who hurt you? I mean, Nasu clearly did just like with the rest of us, but still... who hurt you?

The consumer the author is trying to build trust with is the fanbox consumer

I mean unless the author is actually finishing all these regularly abandoned/neglected stories in the fanbox I'd argue the author treats the fanbox consumer even worse. If they the consumer are being advertised by the series then go and pay a monthly sub and the series doesn't get done in the fanbox either what trust is being built exactly?

It's more so how the author does the framework for their stories. It feels like everytime something is about to ramp up or some story beat stuff is about to finish, they quickly go to an ending rather than give a satisfying conclusion. The only work that I feel was fleshed out to the bitter end was Demon Mother which covered a lot of ground, factions and gave everyone a satisfying conclusion.
It's also the only work that was published before he also started doing twitter and pixiv comics. And consider that series has 200+ chapters to work with of course there was more room to explore and conclude. But the success of Divorced
Crybaby and the popularity of the fanbox probably changed the calculus on what to focus on. Cause Demon Mother was a weekly series compared to this which was more biweekly-monthly.

That and his recently released doujin's earned him a lot of money.

Funnily enough Im Dal actually finished a manga last year. Sadly the official english dropped like a fourth of the way through, and no one's really picked up JK Silver Plan since then.
