Hey I love what you guys are doing I think it's a good idea paying but I kind of agree with monthly plans aswell how long would you say that would take and on other things why was it that incest was removed to be honest I kinda loved it a little bit more than inseki I really liked the older comics but and I really hope that you can bring it backCheck your controversial content setting, incest is definitely still here.

I don't know if this has been ask, because there is so many post that I wasn't going to read all of them, but since my fave content isn't updated much, could I subscribe then unsubscribe every couple of months? That would help my budget and save me money since so little is added that I'm interested in. I do admire the fact that you are trying to help the authors but I am also upset that I can't just get on everyday and read something wether it's good or bad. Best of luck Jacob.I`ll post my opinion before you get an official answer. But since it`s per month basis yes you can not subscribe for the next month. To my memory as long as you cancel your sub before the next sub payment period you are good (there should be an option to not continue your subscription to stop reoccurring payments). At least there should, most subscription sites have this.
Thank you!

I would just like to know how the site is generally doing since its transition. Read through a few pages, ppl for and against it. but I would just like to see the login numbers, time online, number of subscribers, things like that.

I had a lot of favourites. A lot. I had no idea this was happening, now I have none and sadly I can't remember all of them. I've felt as if this site was going downhill for awhile now but as of today chances are I'll never visit again. I logged on today simply to dig through my favourites to find something I really liked to show someone but it is unlikely to happen now.

Hello me again. Love this site but I'm going to take my business elsewhere until this picks back up. If it doesn't in about 3 months I'm going to cancel my subscription. I love this site is really do but most of everything I did wasn't here. Plus I still haven't gotten my physical copy of the two books in bought which is starting to worry me. That's a separate issue but it also determines the reliability of this site. I paid ten extra dollars per book. Still money out of my pocket. We'really just see where my subscription stays or goes after 3 months.

In fact it only just started shipping so it should appear in your mail soon depending on how quickly you jumped on it. If you ordered any other books at the same time they would have been withheld until A Body For Play is ready to ship. I think you shouldn't worry about it. And if your books really don't come just prod support about it. I'm confident that they'll straighten it out should that happen.

Back to my other post as well as this one, reliability has been confirmed. Alright I'll keep my subscription subscription buto my first idea still stands. Just got A Body for play now. I trust this site fully now, but I wish it had more content.

Yeah originally they would have shipped books as they became available, but that was probably too costly for them, so now they wait until all items are available. So if your order includes a preorder that will hold things up. Best to make separate orders if you want available books now and still want to preorder something, it'll just cost you more in shipping.

Still waiting on one more book. Either xxxed the cat or love Ridan. One of those, I know I bought two paperbacks. I have 4 books total two paperbacks

A doujin-moe subscription allows you to download their material to the safety of your hard drive.
A fakku subscription is loaded with DRM security to prevent you from saving anything to your hard drive.
Steam has an offline mode.
GOG is DRM free.

Perhaps you should improve your service instead of relying on DMCA.

They're legit business and protect their work, what's so strange?
Do you just accept that something is stolen from you? I bet you would call police faster than I can count to three.

All of your points have been brought up countless times before.
Doujin-Moe sells pirated content, a lot of which can be found for free elsewhere—and I'm not talking about rips of their exclusive content. This is not limited to them, but a site with no licensing expenses that relies on third-party contributors for a large portion of its content is very different from what we're doing.
Steam has been around for a decade; our subscription service for half a year. I never liked Steam because I was around when it first came out, and all it did was preventing me from playing Counter-Strike. Twelve years down the road it's a great service—I've been told, since I don't use it myself—but they had twelve years to roll out the various features that make it a great service. An offline alternative is something we're looking into, but similarly, that won't happen overnight.
Can you rent games through GOG? If not, you can't compare it to our subscription. The items you purchase through us are also completely DRM-free.

Going into this i don't see any way Fakku will survive, it just can't there is literally so little support and so many bad decisions that its likely the site will only be up for a couple of months.
Basically the problems are content.( i get it its still early you guys are getting more out there )
Price, yeah the price is high for what you're getting especially if you only get like 2 or 3 mangas you actually like. There is an option to buy books but eh its not like you have that many big name artists or even a huge selection YET but you know still an issue.
Doujinshi not being included here and the way ppl have talked about it makes me think that Fakku will never have them ever unless there are certain circumstances but it seems very rare to happen. I believe most of ppls favs lie there i could be wrong but this again lowers the amount of content we will be getting.
Artists in general, Fakku needs popular artists in order to attract more ppl i get you guys want to support all artists but really you need some big names in order to get out there. Saying you want to treat everyone equal is one of the worst business decisions i have ever seen, i understand it but you are not a charity later on maybe but right now this is dumb.
Quality over quantity, yes Fakku needs more content but it needs GOOD content im gonna be blunt here there are some mangas and artists that are well... bad sorry but its fact you have to realize that ppl want to see good hentai and instead of ppl hoping their subscription gives them 2 or 3 good ones doubling that makes it much more worthwhile.
Western artists, getting more support from western artists would help and make this site unique but the only way its gonna happen is if Fakku pays them and actively goes out to find them, i don't see this happening and its a shame.
So in short there just isn't much to attract ppl here and most likely never will there are just too many sites that offer more and faster content.

Fakku books is like 5% of the total content. I can't buy any other content because its subscription only.

Steam is great, they have sales and hats.
Also I don't use amazon/netflix/hulu subscriptions because they're retarded just like fakku subscriptions are.

All I know is that my shelves and harddrives are severely lacking in cartoon porn, and if you won't sell it to me, then I'll get it some other way.

Valve has proven itself competent and stable, so I can buy games and play them whenever I want.
Also I don't have to pay a monthly fee every time I want to play a game I want. That's a plus.

Why on earth would I RENT something that I wanted, that's ridiculous. That's what public libraries are for; you read something, if you like it you buy it permanently, then you can read it again in the future whenever the fuck you want.
For example, today's free sub chapter, Bet the Bunny. I like it. I can't buy it. Gotta find a way to pirate it because Fakku doesn't want to sell it, only do shitty cable package rentals.
I'm actually apprehensive about buying books as well, because that indirectly supports the subscription business model.
Anyway this is all stupid, I don't even know why I'm posting. I will not support a subscription business model, Fakku won't change it, end of story, fuck it yolo I'm gone.

Since its very subjective we have no idea what you consider to be quality manga.
