Let's think of hentai books like hamburgers, and the new page-covering advertisements like samples of wasabi.Personally, I don't like wasabi. Of course, if stomaching a sample of wasabi earns me a hamburger, I'll do it. However, if instead you give me a hamburger with a ball of wasabi hidden inside, you're doing nothing but ruining my fucking hamburger.
"Oh oh oh, but Fakku GOLD doesn't have to deal with that! You should just-"
Yeah, no. Before you start to give me freemium-gospel, try considering how downright tragic it is that even free porn can feel P2W nowadays. As mentioned though, I can take the wasabi on the side; please just put the ad at the start of the book rather than the middle.
People kept saying "Hey you dirty pirates, you're hurting the artist, but Fakku books supports the industry!" and I understood and accepted that, but at this point I just feel like never really using this site, which isn't doing "the industry" any favors at all. Again, don't chuck advertisements into the middle of books. That's certainly not putting a dent in pirating.
We're testing out the new advertisement this week, which are designed specifically for FAKKU. The goal is to replace the existing popunders (which are pretty awful), with something a little more appropriate. We'll be listening to all feedback about it and we're already planning to move it to the front of the pages rather than randomly in the middle. That should keep the wasabi from being a surprise when you're in the middle of a delicious burger.
Regardless, if everyone hates the new type of advertisement and it's not working out we will remove it.

Is fakku even coded to run on mobile devices?Ahahaha no. Not really.
But at least on my phone if you just click the black spoiler box it will reveal what's underneath.
To clarify, this is a new type of ad built specifically for FAKKU that will hopefully replace the current popup. Any feedback to improve it is appreciated.
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.

EDITAnd just found you can post raw html and javascript in the forum posts. Thats big security issue in my opinion. I think I might be leaving Fakku over this secruity problem. I've been here since it was brought online. So Very sad.
No you can't.

How does this apply to orders that were already made?If someone purchased multiple books previous to this announcement will they be forced to wait, receive them when released, or have the option to pay for separate shipping?
Previous to this announcement the order will go out in two parts, and we cover the extra shipping.

wondering if it's just me? is anyone else having trouble downloading...
"[pyon-Kti] PuniKano (x3200).cbz 471MB"
it seems when i download it,it varies in sizes around 200MB and not
the full 471MB,so an error always pops up when i try to open it
What browser and operating system are you using? I'll try to reproduce the issue and get it fixed.
Windows 7 64-bit on mozilla firefox
That's weird, it's working for me here. I'll try to figure out tonight and get it working. Sorry for the issue, it's hard to diagnose network problems like this.

Here is what I don't get though, and I have asked this before and got no answer.Why not have a download version of the same files that are on the reader available as soon as the chapters are released?
Quality control I guess? Any errors in the content can quickly be fixed online but if we download before there was a fix, it's going to stay there. By waiting until the book is complete, they can check over the entire thing and evaluate user reactions to each individual chapter as they're released. By releasing chapters immediately we get a good, but possibly imperfect job very quickly.
Yeah it's mainly a quality control thing, we don't want those to be representative of what the full downloads are like. We're only going to be offering the x2600 and x3200 downloads for now, the reader images are about x1800
To clarify further...
The books were not completed on December 1st, we were working on them throughout the entire month of December. Instead of making everyone wait until the book was completed (which we did for Renai Sample and PuniKano) we instead released the chapters as we finished them throughout the month (we did this for Peachy-Butt Girls, Welcome to Tokoharu Apartments, and Alluring Woman).
I prefer the chapter by chapter release because it's more in line with what users expect (daily updates) and it allows us to gather feedback over an entire release and catch any mistakes before we issue the final downloads. Additionally it's awesome to have new fap material bringing users to the site each day. If we had done the same thing with our most recent releases that we had done with Renai Sample and PuniKano, you would just be getting the books now. The chapters would have been put online for the first time today.
I've been trying to think about this in the long term, what happens when we have 5 books releasing a month? At that point we could have up to three new chapters released per day. Fully uncensored and with everything you expect from FAKKU Books. I want people to start reading them the moment they are finished, with no delay whatsoever. And thinking even further ahead, what happens if we start simulpublishing magazines? A typical issue of Kairakuten/X-Eros has 12+ chapters in it? Again I'd prefer to read the chapters as soon as humanly possible as they are finished. That said there are definitely situations where we will be releasing a book all at once, which will be the case for one of our next books (one of the unannounced titles).
The fact that we are new to this is a good thing. We get to experiment with brand new distribution methods and see what works and what doesn't. We are not held back by cumbersome platforms or other companies/retailers. We can do this however we want, or more accurately, however you want.
The fact that the downloads were late is a different issue (and again my fault). That shouldn't happen in the future, going forward we'll set exact dates where the full download will be released and we'll include it as part of the release schedule.

==========================
Copied today, tracking number followed since 01/09.
I changed my address probably about a month ago in the store as instructed, however it kept the address it processed under (I assume), And didn't recheck upon shipping or creating the shipping label when it changed from processing to shipped.
So as I'm here in Leesburg, IN; my box is out for delivery in Raleigh, NC. :v
Probably can't do much about it now, but I assumed the Store's 'default address' would be used for shipping label creation.
RIP?
Missed that one, send an email to store@fakku.net with all the info so Crazy Ben can take a look and get it all fixed.
