So, your limit for fair wages for all the work put in to get an official translation that benefits an author you claim to like... is the artwork doesn't suit your specific taste??? Just admit you don't actually care about people being appropriately compensated and were going to pirate it anyway...

[(Anonymous)]

Lmao this is so dumb.

[(Anonymous)]

Let me get this straight. These pictures, which are part of the work, annoy you enough that you have decided to deny the creators financial support, but not enough to drop the work entirely?

Are you like, morally offended at the light novel format? Cause that is the weirdest hill to die on, I gotta say.

There must be some way for you to disable pictures from displaying, right?

I just don't understand why these edition just HAVE to have artworks/illustrations anyway. Especially in the English versions they're usually only on the level of very mediocre fanart (especially compared to, for example, several of the Asian editions where the illustrations are actually pretty gorgeous). They don't really add anything, only push up the price and in some cases don't even fit the text.

[(Anonymous)]

Soooo you were planning to pirate it anyway and were just looking for a "moral" reason to excuse yourself, got it. It's not like there's only a handful of illustrations for an entire book and you literally only have to look at it when you're reading a single page.

[(Anonymous)]

Lol, it's normal for literal porn manga to be full of cutesily-drawn panels in the bits that aren't porn and occasionally in the bits that are; if you have a 20-page sex scene not every panel needs to be deadly serious and sexy. This is nothing weird or new, you can just be glad that the story you want to read is in a text format where you can ignore any accompanying artwork you don't like.

what

I for one have liked the art in all of the novels. They're not the reason WHY I buy them, but I rather have them than not.
And Idk what kind of illustrations people are used to in other books (not talking about graphic novels) but if you really think they're bad, you can just skip them? There are maybe 8 per book and can't be seen from the outside, so ????

I was shocked to see they weren't a part of the returning lineup this year. I really wish they would add these permanently to the shop: I was devastated I missed one game because they are really poor at communicating when these icons go live for games! Fingers crossed they do a return in some manner, it sucks to miss out on something that shouldn't be FOMO in the first place.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I tried to find an easy to access clip of one of the scenes I'm talking about, but could only find this one with annoying music. On the bright side, it has both the behind the scenes bluescreen side by side with the finished product which is kind of neat.

I'd never heard of this author until her review scandal broke, so if anyone's got other juicy details about bad behavior, I'm over here with my popcorn and lawn chair!

At the rate Hollywood is running out of ideas and is cannibalizing itself, this will probably happen sooner or later.

As someone who couldn't get past the second episode of BBC Sherlock, agreed. The writing was always terrible.
