@Jaelyun maybe light novel knowledge

 

[Knonderd]

After catching up to the latest chapter of the web novel and reading this manga with that knowledge, I need to say that I've been enjoying both the manga and the light novel. Thanks for the update.

 

[gaigous]

Why!! why must most of the good ones be monthly!? *sobs of despair*

 

[Tamed]

@gaigous Feels like ages since the last time..

 

[ZeonII]

one of the few good isekai series.

 

[gaigous]

@Tamed Well, not that I'm defending the bastards, but it is a useful marketing tactic when the primary goal is to increase LN sales, I would prefer a less anti-consumer business practice though.....

 

[Tamed]

@gaigous It is? I thought it just took that long for them to cement the idea rather than have it devolve quickly in a weekly basis.

 

[mage_goo]

@gaigous more like the good ones can be good because it's monthly.

 

[gaigous]

@Tamed If it was an original series the page count gradually dwindling would be more for creative reasons than profit, but whether it be anime, video games, or manga, adaptations are almost always cash grabs, you gotta make bank on that franchise after all~, so yeah very few have legit TLC put into them, This, Slime Tensei and The New Gate are a few examples of adaptations with real elbow grease put into them, granted, quality is subjective to a point, but this has been my experience with them.

@mage_goo Nah, adaptations have a separate source material, weekly being bad because it's weekly, is a whole other ball game.

 

[mage_goo]

@gaigous idk man, you're saying that as if figuring out the story, the process that adaptation doesn't need to do, is most of the work needed to make manga.
instead of, like, actually drawing it.

edit: agreed with the dwindling page thing though.
dang, i think i remember seeing some monthly chapter somewhere with just mere 7 pages. the nerve

 

[Tamed]

@gaigous I see. That changes things. That said, weren't there mangas that like on a monthly basis that is not an adaptation? I remember Skip Beat being in that category.. Been a while since I went back to read it though.

 

[gaigous]

@mage_goo I did not mean to belittle the effort of each individual, my only point was that it's possible to release weekly without a dip in quality and the same page count, and it wouldn't have to be the "hard labor camp" that most seem to imagine when this is brought up.

The artist and author work together to port(for lack of a better word) the LN adaptation, the publisher will usually have the final word on the date and frequency of releases(monthly, bi-monthly, weekly, etc.), which magazines are available to release them in is also a concern.

A lot of people easily forget that the average page count of monthly series in this industry was much higher in the past, we used to get forty to sixty pages a chapter, and that didn't change because the authors got together for some "global mangaka summit" and created a union for better pay and shorter work hours, no, it changed because there was no reasonable alternative distribution method, we aren't angry with the artists or authors, we love those guys with all our hearts, we're angry at the publishers who restrain their creativity with shitty business practices.

@Tamed Yeah, Skip beat is an original, there are tons of original monthly series, there are magazines exclusively for monthlies, D. Gray-man, Berserk, and OPM, are bi-monthly I think? Can't remember.

It's a very gray topic, profit and creativity are on a spectrum with these things, adaptations just happen to swing more in the direction of money.

 

[Knonderd]

I just realize that this chapter has been featured on the Top Chapter (6 Hour) on the front page. The appreciation to this manga makes me feel happy.

*Just sharing a happy thought.

 

[Tamed]

@gaigous Never heard of that history until now. Thanks for sharing that

 

[gaigous]

@Tamed I was being facetious about the fight for a mangaka union, I have no idea if something like that actually happened, it was just a hypothetical to better illustrate the primary cause of less content, I would've loved to have seen the speeches for such a protest though "What do we want!" "Comfier chairs!" "When do we want it!" "Now!" XD

 

[Tamed]

@gaigous So the whole change thing didn't happen?

 

[gaigous]

@Tamed Oh no, the parts about the page count being higher on average, and the publishers being the only reasonable distribution method were, Just not the part about a mangaka workers union, I shouldn't have transitioned into a joke mid-way like that.

 

[phoenixir]

You ever notice how the strongest good male characters real journeys start with Highland orcs? That is just amazing.
