The service period has ended.

Piccoma Demon King

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>2

It was no good.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx23

This only benefits the platform, right…?

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>3

That’s why it won’t perish.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Is there any benefit for the author?

I want you to stop, as it only has disadvantages for the readers…

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>4

Isn’t it there?

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx21

>>4

As an author, each episode is crafted with cohesion and impact, so I guess I wouldn’t like it if it were cut off abruptly…

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>9

It seems like the company on the app is doing things on their own.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>9

As an author, I’m perfectly fine with you tearing it apart since I get paid based on the number of views.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx38

What an irritating guy!!!

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx28

I hate this!

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>6

CV Freeza

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

Three episodes available for free! It’s also a bit odd that it’s divided into three parts with one episode each.

It’s somewhat annoying to be interrupted every single time.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

When the conversation is abruptly cut off at a strange moment, it fills me with frustration…

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

But you know,

If you don’t release it at weekly intervals, the readers who forget are also at fault.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s split from the first episode, I’ll kill you.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Sometimes there are instances where the second episode has the equivalent of a full episode’s length, making the first episode incredibly long.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

All e-book sites should follow the example of Comic DAYS.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

So that’s where you cut it! Is it a tactic to make us pay to read more?

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

If showing an ad once for reading an episode benefits everyone except the readers, then it might be worth it.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

“I registered as a user because they said ‘Free now!'”

“Stop rephrasing it as ‘If you wait, it’s free!'”

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

*Other discussions have been closed to the public.

Episode 3-2 Free

Episode 3-3 Free

Episode 4-1 Free new!!

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

Episode 1-1

Episode 1-2

Episode 1-3

>>20

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>20

I decided to kill.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>20

It can be this bad.

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

“Go ahead and publish it!!”

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx20

The hypocrisy of saying that this is free for the fifth episode.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t think the author intended to cut it off there.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

😊 All episodes are free.

😡 (※Ticket system)

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>26

Damn it!!!!

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Being forced to be cut off like that is infuriating!!

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

Recommended for when you’re too lazy to think of a subtitle.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m getting spoiled about the latest chapter by someone who isn’t even paying or doing their daily login bonuses properly.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s all in one episode, we have no choice but to make the cost per episode higher, so it also benefits the readers…

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>33

Do you want to read it in chunks?

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>35

That’s why I dropped it after the first episode…

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

😌 If you pay, you can read the latest chapter too!

😔 Time-limited

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ll pay, so could you stop cutting it up like that?!

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

Please buy the paperback.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

What was the previous story like…? If it’s been a while since the last episode was released, I might not read it anymore…

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s a monthly serialized publication with many pages, then I can understand the division…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

It would be tough if it were every other week.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m watching the commercial, Dodoria-san!

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I got hit with 220 points in the latest episode of Medalist, and it’s tough.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

If it’s too choppy, the tempo becomes too bad, and I lose the desire to read it normally.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought I couldn’t read the parts of the first three episodes that were released as a free volume, but I can read the latest episodes that aren’t free, and I can still be a gentle and mild Grand Kaioshin.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

Cutting it so finely just to say “free talk” is a ridiculous trick…

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>49

100 episodes free! (Effectively 25 episodes)

105: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>49

100 episodes free! (Effectively 25 episodes)

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

I recently watched Episode 1-13.

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The author didn’t create it to be cut off at 6 pages or anything like that.

It’s going to end up being a confusing interruption, you know.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like they are cutting up a monthly publication to turn it into a weekly one.

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>53

I think a monthly publication would be fine, but there are people who complain that updates are slow with a monthly format…

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

You’re such an annoying jerk!!!

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

I will allow for a division into two at this point, but anything more than that makes me want to shatter them into tiny pieces like that Earthling.

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

One advantage is that a higher update frequency makes it more likely to appear at the top multiple times, making it easier to notice.

From the perspective of someone reading it later, I think it’s garbage.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

Next time, I’ll smash you to bits.

Like that manga app!

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>58

And the newly emerging other named apps from the same company.

60: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s fine to switch to a paid model after the period is over; it’s a natural right.

But what does it mean to end the public release!! What benefit is there!! It’s not acceptable to have stories that can’t be read properly between the tankobon and the latest chapter!!!! I’m going to kill you!!!

61: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Episode 14-1

(Other discussions have ended publicly.)

Episode 1

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are thread images, and installing the app is a hassle, so I hope Bikkoma doesn’t die.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>62

Most Japanese manga published on Piccoma are also available elsewhere, so read them there!

Piccoma is an app for reading webtoons aimed at people who don’t mind if it’s divided as long as they can read it for free.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>68

Upon closer inspection, the one I dislike is Manga UP!

I hope Square Enix dies.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>77

Depending on the manga artist

Even if there’s a gap in publishing, put out one episode in a single batch, don’t split it up.

There are people who attend with such hopes.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>62

Most of the manga published on Piccoma is also available elsewhere, so you can read it there!

Pikoma is an app for reading webtoons, aimed at people who don’t mind reading them in installments as long as they can read for free.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what they really want to achieve with patterns that can’t be read after the release ends.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

So it won’t be destroyed…

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

All volumes free (not free)

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s hard to recommend to others, and the pattern of ending public access is really troublesome.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wish that all manga apps would become like Jump Plus, thanks to Dragon Ball.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>69

That is impossible.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

14 volumes for free!

(Special edition, so it’s counted as one volume per episode)

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

Please stop having multiple apps from the same publisher.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

You can read the rest for free with a ¥70 fee! (But limited to 10 minutes)

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

Lord Frieza, please destroy this culture.

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Celebration for the release of Volume 2 of the comic!

Celebration for the release of Comic Volume 1!

>>98

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

nkikikiki

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a sneaky way to lure in readers.

78: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I think it’s pretty malicious to sell episodes in parts!

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

I couldn’t hold back and read everything at the manga café…

Thanks to you, I feel great now…!

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

A cunning life hack that transforms a monthly series into a weekly series.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it were a monthly series with many pages, I could understand splitting it up, but…

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

Fuhahaha! How about that!! There’s already enough episodes piled up to finish the third episode, not just the second!

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

Damn itttttttt~~~~!!

Damn it!!!

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it’s a bad culture.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

I hope everyone who decided to mix the end of publication between the latest volume and the latest serialized chapter falls into hell.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it no good if it’s free only the first time?

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the Jump+ format, you can’t buy individual chapters of key works like you can on Magapoke…

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

Psycomm is really generous for allowing permanent purchases with log-in bonus coins, right?

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

Stop having expiration dates on tickets.

94: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

It’s not actually a big deal that the free period is short or that the ticket replenishment is slow.

It’s a grateful thing to be able to read it for free or something close to that.

Splitting the original shape is already a different problem.

The original number of pages and spacing are calculated when creating it, so splitting that apart is like destroying the work.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

Either way, I think it’s pointless because if the serialization takes a break, there will be more than a month gap.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

It must be easy for the author as long as they can just draw the number of pages they managed to complete.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

Episode 14-1

(Other discussions have ended publicly.)

Episode 1

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

LINE Manga, just this.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>99

So it won’t perish…

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

Goblin Slayer Year One made me think, “Why is this happening?”

101: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Piccoma is often criticized, but other manga apps are pretty much the same, right?

I don’t really understand why some works are divided while others are not.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

The work I’m reading isn’t that split on Piccoma, so it seems like there are various issues on the publisher’s side as well.
