@Ashana @Lionexss It's a climax trend in comics. An easy way to tell whether the comic really has gotten shorter is to count the number of panels and co pare the details of each panel (more hand drawing = more difficult scenes). If the panels/pages are fewer, then the rationale follows (though, it may also be pacing; where to break up the action within a particular chapter miniarc; if they don't have the time necessary to complete the arc, the artist may choose to cut down the number of pages to meet the scene flow; that way the chapter doesn't feel like it ends at an awkward location story wise, but rather like here at a natural climactic pause/transition).
This practice is common in storytelling. It can however be likewise used exploitively to get people to pay more for less, because the product's later chapters become higher in demand (so they think). As such, instead of charging more, like with the now infamous ice cream container size change from 2 quarts to 1.75 quarts for all major ice cream cartons in the US or Tolberone chocolates increasing the distance between chocolate triangles on their bars in order to decrease the amount of chocolate without rasing the price. In fact, the price was raised, but due to sophisticated marketing, the consumer is tricked to not change their shopping habits thinking they were buying the same amout.
Either option is possible and the only way to tell for sure is to count the number of panels/pages and the sophistication of those panels to determine whether or not readers are getting in effect ripped off by the publisher/artist. Typically, artists tell people if they have fewer pages because they're having life issues rather things that make them not be able to do as many pages. But that rationale typically doesn't go for professional/commercial full-time artists.
