Paid individual chapters.
2
It seems like more and more there are individual chapters of stuff that can only be read if you pay for it. Now I already pay for a sub but that isn't my real gripe here, even though I don't really like it. More that I'm not sure if any of these chapters will eventually become a full on book seeing as now the FutaOna series is being put on the site as individual paid chapters. I'm just wonder if this ever does become a book will I just have wasted like $5 or even more as the series comes out only be fucked out of $20+ or if the book does end up being released will I get some sort of discount, refund, or even the book for having supported everything up to the release/announcement?

Good question, because FutaOna is from a different publisher (not FAKKU) it's up to them whether or not they eventually compile it into a book and how they handle it. That said, I will answer the question as if it were a fAKKU release you had mentioned.
In the event that FAKKU releases a series of doujins, and later compiles them into a book, you would absolutely receive a discount on that book proportional to the individual chapters you had purchased. This hasn't happened yet, but a close example is that if you buy the digital edition of one of our books and later want to upgrade to paperback, we provide you with a $10 discount (the price of the free digital edition that comes with the paperback).
Hope that clarifies things a little! I do realize as a subscriber it's sad to see paid chapters appear more frequently on the front page, but I can assure you the subscription is not receiving any less content as a result, we are just slowly bringing more and more doujin to FAKKU.

It would be nice if the doujin prices published by Fakku and SHIKIMAYA could become more reasonable. Price wise 2D Market's doujins are much better. Although Fakku's releases are of higher quality it does not justify 2 or 3 times the price. I would buy much many more doujins if the prices would come down. A sale a few times a year would be nice as well :)

There are sales actually. A big one on the black friday, allowed people all around the world to get books with no shipping fees, and a smaller yet good one on Valentine's day. You can't have those to often, they're doing great for now in my opinion.

Next time I'm going to try and get some of the books and also the service committee jacket if FAKKU ever does it in a size that isn't going to look ridiculously huge on me.

Yes, it was the biggest sale for me. I bought 7 books that time, so worth it.
