A just ruler amongst tyrants

Second option.

Other than that, I really don't care. 😛

♪MONSTARR~ will eat all your cookies and steal your bishies~♪ Φ_Φ

As long as he knows what he's getting into, I don't care...

I mean, Miura Kentaro's most likely only working on berserk and look what happened to that.

Doesn't matter to me. There is always lot of stuff around to read 🤣

This week's favorites:

• Golden Kamui

ççççççç[Ô.Ô] tsutopodus© will eat your manga and steal your cats!

Second option.

It'd be great if they become successful and had more going on, as long as nothing loses quality, so second option for me as well.

Second option.

Besides, it's nice to read other titles by the mangaka whose manga you like.

Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.

Welllll, as a writer I have to say that it is sometimes hard to just stick with one project. The inspiration and imagination can run a little low when tediously working with one idea for a long time. However, taking on more than one project at a time does sacrifice the time spent on others, any way you look at it.

So all I can really say is that the author has to do what she/he has to do in order to keep going (although I would prefer that whatever I'm reading at the time didn't have long release gaps or go on haitus).

I find that it's almost inevitable that manga suffers when the creator does more than one at a time. Series are put on hiatus to work on others, longer wait between chapters, or just lack of quality. So I'm veering more for option three, though I did vote for two. 🤣

ahhhh thanks for asking about multiple project issue !!
I have always thought that groups always do so many manga at a time and release the chapter of one manga so lately (like every 100 days – meaning around 3 months to release 1 chapter of 1 manga)… so yeah I think that one, two or max three manga is already good enough. I am sure that it is not such a big deal if a group use 3 different editors (cleaners/typesetters) for one manga… ( one editor working on one chapter ) as long as the text font follows the same font set according to the situation (normal text, thoughts, etc…), the whole chapters’ typography will be quite homogeneous in the end and won’t appear too awkward… with this in mind, imagine how fast a group can finish to scanlate one whole manga ! I know in the end it is the same : the manga is scanlated, but the speed will be different and sometimes the manga is licensed and the group have to drop it T_T but if the group was faster it would not have happened, right? faster doesn’t necessarily mean to find one person who translate/proofread/edit faster… but if you use more translators/editors for one manga, it will go faster with the same effort for one person !

Uhh...This thread is on how you feel about the author taking on multiple projects not scanlating groups.

oups ! sorry you are right !!! well then I will tell what i think about authors working on multiple projects !
I think it is better to concentrate on one project or two but not a lot... because well if you have too many to work on, you could just make mistakes or the story could become too blurry and lack of sense in it because you just don't really put all you've got into it... and well it is better to release faster one story than have so many at the same times and it takes longer to release in the end or you can be on hiatus and it is all your stories that risk to be on hiatus... it is kinda of selfish as a reader to think that way but isn't it more fun and great when you finish a whole story ?! XD

All is fine as long as crap ballon tits harem or shoujo gold nugget
enslaver hottie shit projects don't retard the good projects.
Though, people who normally do stuff like that can't
really create anything worth reading anyway.

I feel nothing.

If the sea were made of Whiskey and I was a duck
I'd swim to the bottom and never come up

Second option.

But unfortunately one of my fav shoujo manga have been stopped 'cause of another project.

Akuma to Dolce is on hiatus because Suzuki Julietta need to focus on Kamisama Hajimemashita which I'm reading too, but I rly hate when the project that I'm reading is stopped.
😐
