Author explodes against those who do not buy his work

The renowned author of light novels, Uenami Kosuke, known for his popular titles "Remtheta Braves Online" and "A-Rank Party wo Ridatsu Shita Ore wa, Moto Oshiegotachi to Meikyuu Shinbu wo Mezasu", has generated controversy on Twitter by criticizing the attitude of some readers who prefer to wait for a work to finish to buy all the books and thus show their support for the franchise and the author.

Author explodes against those who do not buy his work

In his message, Uenami expressed: "The works that are withheld with the excuse of 'I don't want it to be canceled in half, so I will wait for it to finish to buy it', will not be able to be completed. Of course, if they are not sold, they are canceled. In fact, they are terminated at the point of cancellation."

Uenami argues that this mindset can be detrimental to the continuity and proper development of a series. If a large number of readers adopt this stance, initial sales may be insufficient, leading to the possible cancellation of the work before it can be concluded satisfactorily. The author stresses that this could force a hasty ending that does not reflect his true intention.

To illustrate his point, Uenami added: "If you want to read to the intended end, it's actually the other way around. You must invest to get there! This doesn't just apply to books and manga, but to all content."

The author emphasized that commercial projects, unlike hobbies or hobbies, rely on ongoing financial support to survive. "Commercial content will disappear if investments or payments are stopped. So, if there's something you enjoy, it's best to bear the cost while it exists in the world, so you can enjoy it longer."

Uenami's statements have opened a debate among fans and the community of readers. Some agree with his perspective and understand the importance of financially supporting the series they enjoy, while others feel they can't commit to a series without the guarantee that it will be completed.

The discussion highlights an important reality in the entertainment industry: the success and continuity of a work depend largely on the constant support of its followers. Investment in books, manga, and other content is crucial for authors to be able to deliver the ending they have envisioned and that fans want so badly.
