New books download

Thank you for the explanation. This definitely clarifies why separate downloads are a problem. Having 3 people involved in the makes it a difficult process to manage in a timely manner.
I definitely think this is something that is interesting depending on the book. Books can have chapters with very diverse themes in the different chapters. Meaning that buying the full book will be uninteresting if the are a couple of let's say vanilla chapters, while the rest is NTR. That way you could only buy the chapters you like while otherwise you would not be buying the book at all.
This could also be interesting when you start with monthly magazines, so you can only buy the chapters by the artists you like. This does however depend on the way you will be releasing the magazines and the combination with Fakku Gold.

There is a lot of good discussion in this thread, but I'd like to get it a bit more focused.
To start, we will not be changing the policy on downloads. Download links for the entire book will be made available once all chapters have been released and not any sooner. There are many reasons for this that have already been discussed in this thread. Going forward we will announce a release date for the full download alongside the chapters and there shouldn't be delays (remember last time was my fault). This new schedule for future books is a direct result of the discussion in this thread. To reiterate, we will not be adding download links for individual chapters as they go online. Right now we release the chapters early because we want people to read them as soon as humanly possible, the whole idea is to get you something to read before the book is 100% complete. If we didn't do that, you would have to wait until the pre-order period ended before you even had the chance to read anything.
Additionally, the free digital edition with the paperback was something that originally only applied to pre-orders. But going forward it will apply to all orders even after the pre-order period has ended (we are already doing this with Renai Sample). This was a decision made based on customer feedback.
I'm in Tokyo this week working out the details of some new stuff we'll be announcing soon, so I probably won't reply in this thread till I get home.
