Why are there individual chapters for sale?

I remember back when Fakku just announced that it was going to became a subscription site. A lot of people I talk to were very upset by this and called Fakku some kind of horrible names that basically amount to them becoming greedy bastards that only want more money. I never thought that, and after I became financially able to, I started being a subscriber.

I was excited to see a entity separate from any kind of massive corporate influence become a force to try and bring more uncensored english hentai to western audiences. They just need more sustainable and stable income to try and accomplish these lofty goals. I want to support a company like that and so I pay for a subscription, paid for high quality, uncensored english hentai chapters released every day. The selling of books and games too is a totally understandable move, that I approve of and makes sense.

Now after all this supporting commentary I will speak on the heart of my post. Why are there individual chapters, ones that aren't part of a book, that require purchase? I am seeing these more and more often and it is starting to disturb me. First off I am of the mindset that having a subscription that any chapter released should be open to read. Getting a notification of a new chapter, feeling excited to read it and then seeing that I can't is not at all the feeling Fakku wants to provide.

Next I would like to bring up a specific chapter. https://www.fakku.net/hentai/top-tier-ship-girl-vs-ship-girl-english
This chapter not only is a stand alone individual chapter that requires extra payment, but this one isn't even uncensored. A censored chapter, from what I know, goes against the whole point of this site. Am I going to see untranslated chapters show up next? These business practices are certainly not what I expected to see, and it honestly makes me sad. I certainly want to believe in the people working for Fakku but things like this make me wonder if those friends of mine, earlier mentioned, were right.

I know I may end up typing this huge rant for no reason and that I wont ever hear any serious answer from a staff member, but I feel like I had to let out my sadness over this somewhere and this might give me the smallest of chances to get some kind of explanation.

That a doujin. It's not an actual full book or a subscription chapter. It's like an issue of a comic. Sometime they get put into a tankobon but it's not always a thing. Futabu! and the seasonal hime guro doujins are the only one i know that did that.

You're probably thinking of the various doujinshi available here.



And this one isn't even published by Fakku, as you can clearly see on its page, are aren't most of these. Obviously Fakku can not offer as part of its subscription service books that belong to other publishers and are simply offered by them on its platform so you can access them all here.

I mean if im reading this right. You are saying that Fakku is hosting chapters that they are not the publishers of. Beacuse of this reason they have to charge for them, but why would they do that? Is it just a money thing?

For our subscription content, we have a deal with the Japanese publishers and artists to publish it in this manner. However, FAKKU also operates as a digital marketplace (like DLsite or Steam) which a number of different publishers use to distribute their products. In these cases, we're working with other companies and/or directly with certain artists, so these pieces of content are sold separately.

On the topic of censorship, we avoid it for content we release, but other parties may chose to release their content with or without it. Generally speaking, a lot of Japanese art was made with the intent of it never being uncensored, so fully uncensored data might not exist for older works. That said, it's likely that future releases will be uncensored now that they have a distribution platform for that kind of media in the form of FAKKU.

Finally, none of the subscription content has ever been made available exclusively as a separate purchase. Although, there are examples of the opposite (paid content also being added to the subscription). Anything that requires a purchase is additional, optional content that would not be on the site otherwise.
