The renowned light novel author, Uenami Kosuke , known
for his popular titles “ Remtheta Braves Online ” and “ A-Rank
Party wo Ridatsu Shita Ore wa, Moto Oshiegotachi to Meikyuu Shinbu wo Mezasu ”,
has generated controversy on Twitter by criticizing the attitude of some
readers who prefer to wait for a work to finish to buy all the books and thus
show their support for the franchise and the author.
In his message, Uenami expressed: « The
works that are held back with the excuse of 'I don't want it to be canceled
halfway, so I will wait until it is finished to buy it', will not be able to be
completed. Of course, if they don't sell, they are cancelled. In fact, they end
at the point of cancellation .
Uenami argues that this mindset can be
detrimental to the continuity and proper development of a series .
If a large number of readers adopt this stance, initial sales may be
insufficient, leading to the possible cancellation of the work before it can be
satisfactorily concluded. The author points out that this could force a hasty
ending that does not reflect his true intention.
To illustrate his point, Uenami added: " If
you want to read to the intended end, it's actually the other way around. You
must invest to get there! This not only applies to books and mangas, but to all
content .
The author emphasized that business projects, unlike
hobbies or pastimes, depend on continuous financial support to survive. « Commercial
content will disappear if investments or payments stop. Therefore, if there is
something you enjoy, it is better to bear the cost while it exists in the
world, so that you can enjoy it longer .
Uenami's statements have opened a debate among fans
and the reading community. Some agree with her perspective and understand the
importance of financially supporting series they enjoy, while others
feel they can't commit to a series without the guarantee that it will be
completed .
The discussion highlights an important
reality in the entertainment industry: the success and continuity of a work
depends largely on the constant support of its fans .
Investment in books, manga and other content is crucial for authors to be able
to deliver the ending they have imagined and that fans so desire.
