>Sometimes they have good ideas and stop bad ones, but the opposite can also happen.
The same goes for authors and for fans. Mangaka aren't some kind of perfect faultless being, neither are editors or fans.
If you want to see a mangaka with light editorial, look at how Samurai 8 is doing.
if fans are fans they're reading because of the mangaka's writing so they should prioritize their own

Dark Souls had the best formula
give the fans what they want then make your own ambitious shit, with at least a fallback when said shit doesn't work
if it works though the payoff is way better
Not every ideas is good. An author need outside opinion.
Wouldn't it be the same in both cases? At the end is the mangaka choice.
Yas Forums ain't full of retards
I sure am glad that Masamune Shirow keeps producing tons of oiled women porn, I really appreciate his artistic vision. Can you imagine a world where he kept drawing original sci-fi? Thank god he doesn't listen to his fans and editors. Truly the greatest timeline amirite?
Disagreed. Fans know best and their opinions should at least be considered.
Pffft
for a recent example:
see going for a 4 win which was probably his decision since day 1(..or when Negi rolled the dice)
or
a 3 win to swim in even more dosh and secure a nice fandom for when he returns to make shit again
