So many good artists with so many horrible stories. We need a depressing tag. It's bad enough I read hentai for stories (don't judge me!) but I'd rather be satisfied with the story than want to throw a sack of puppies in a river.
U should try rocket monkey. Man was known for being a hardcore NTR artist for years but his recent tankobon 'primal' is 100% vanilla and pretty damn good.
Well, we all have different tastes - e.g. I can't stand loli and shota stuff, but some folks here think that they're fantastic. And sometimes, those have really great artwork, and it sucks that the artist included material that I don't want anything to do with.
With this kind of story, sometimes I'm fine with it, and sometimes it's just too depressing - though good artwork does help, and Kiasa's artwork is really sexy. I find that to an extent, good artwork can save a poor story and a good story can save poor artwork, but the good parts can only go so far to redeem the less desirable parts. Ideally, you'd consistently get both great artwork and a great story, but things don't always work out that way, especially when an artist likes drawing a fetish that you're not into, and there are plenty of artists who seem perfectly okay with (even prefer) having bad endings.
At this point, FAKKU has enough stuff that it's generally pretty easy to find both stuff that you really like and stuff that you really don't - both with the magazines and with the tankoubon. I expect that many of us have artists (or even magazines) that we outright avoid at this point just as we have ones where we eagerly await everything they put out.
I agree, FAKKU has plenty of stuff in their library for everyone. I just thought this story would be slightly happier. Not "happily ever after" or anything, but "they're not killing themselves at least". That said, I haven't read anything else from this artist so maybe next chapter they *will* kill themselves. I wouldn't put it past any hentai artist these days to do that.
Also, I don't even look at what magazine a chapter is from. Maybe I should start? The tankoubon are about to leave me broke. Not to mention the figures. -.-
I have started checking the magazine source @SimpleMinded, since I have found that 99% of stuff from Comic Bavel and Girls for M are not my cup of tea (or pee, whatever).
@SimpleMinded Well, if you read the other chapters in this collection, it's pretty clear that things are unlikely to go well here (though now that the collections are listed after the comments instead of before the comments, it's easy to not realize when something is in a collection). It's possible that this particular collection will end well for the female lead from this chapter, but it doesn't seem likely. Not everything from Kiasa is as depressing as this chapter, but Kiasa doesn't currently have any chapters tagged with vanilla on FAKKU, and I don't know if Kiasa actually ever does vanilla. So, if you only want vanilla stories, then maybe Kiasa is an artist to avoid.
I didn't used to pay much attention to which magazine a chapter came from, but once Girls for M was licensed, I had to, since the fact that a chapter is from there pretty much guarantees that I'm not going to like it - though that's the only magazine that FAKKU translates that I avoid. I haven't tried to figure out what kind of stuff each magazine typically releases, because aside from Girls for M, each magazine has a fair bit that I like, but if you're finding a lot of stuff that you don't like, then you may find that if you pay attention to what comes from which magazine, there may be magazines that release little or nothing that you like.
This series was my first encounter with this author's works. I know now this is what they like to do. I'm not asking them to change. I think it's great they're doing stories like this because people do like them. I think I would've liked it too if I went in knowing I'd probably be feeling depressed, or maybe it's just sadness, for HentaiFuckDoll#2101736 since she apparently can't love someone. Only dick
If you want to know, I really like Takeda Hiromitsu's earlier works which just had sluts loving sex (my favorite, no ties to anyone or anything, just slut having sex). I wasn't too happy with their transition to solely NTR stories, but since I know what to expect I can enjoy those stories and come out satisfied. Same with Rocket Monkey. The stories they both write/draw/depict (whatever you want to say they do) are horrible, in my own opinion. However, I can enjoy them simply *because* I know they're going to be horrible!
Probably doesn't make too much sense, and I'm just being overly picky. You won't always know what to expect from a story, and a Depressing tag or warning would probably ruin it for a lot of people. I'm just venting out frustration. I actually read the first chapter My Little Secret Spot's Secret Spot, and thought it was good. I didn't know there were any sequels until this chapter came out and I read them all.
I think a 'downer' or 'depressing' tag would be cool @SimpleMinded, like the opposite of Vanilla basically. I think that the best policy is for Fakku to accurately tag stories and let readers make a decision. There is so much content and so little time (for me) that I really don't want to waste time on stories that are gonna piss me off (like the lack of 'forced' tag that seems to be a regular thing for fakku editors).
So she got away from the others and is trying to move on? That's about as good an ending as I would hope from Kiasa, even though it's a meager 8 pages. Hopefully she can find a guy and figure out what that missing thing is in their sex with them and not take a potentially dark path by just sleep with random guys to shotgun an answer, or find pleasure in basically being a cumdump.
A rather interesting title. This is...a sequel to the previous 2, right?
And here I am still wondering what's up with Touya, and if he's still with that other slut of a girl.
I remember the first chapter where I hated the guy for breaking up a perfect-for-each-other couple, but as it went on, well...I kind of just lost sympathy for her, really, the moment she admitted to herself she just likes sex. Whether or not it was always that way or she became that way...It's still sad all the same. But hey, I suppose that's what this artist does best.
At this point she really is just...falling and falling, deeper. And no Osananajimi Touya in sight to save her, though at this point I think it's already way past that point.
FAKKU put up a chapter from Takashi just last month: https://www.fakku.net/hentai/mid-dream-english
But since they publish all of the chapters in the magazines that they're translating, if an artist hasn't had any chapters posted here for a while, it's because they haven't released anything recently in any of the magazines that FAKKU has licensed. In that sense, FAKKU really doesn't have much control over the content that ends up on the site. The areas where they're actually picking the artists are the tankoubon and doujinshi that they license, and occasionally, they'll publish "FAKKU originals" from artists as part of the subscription service. But they aren't the ones choosing what gets published in the magazines.
Unfortunately, there are a number of great artists who never seem to have anything published here, but that's because they don't release chapters in the magazines that FAKKU has licensed, and FAKKU hasn't published any of their tankoubon or doujinshi. However, Takashi does have a number of chapters here and for the last year or so has had a chapter published every other month.
