I was wondering if somebody's around here that got a membership at GrowlBoys and can answer some questions that keep bothering me. Especially after the last 2 months' 50% off deals I thought this might be the case.
Wanted to give it a try and buy a membership, but there are some things that seem to be quite off.
First of all I'd like to know what exactly you're going to get. The site updates just 1x per month, and every update consists of a novel chapter with cut-in illustrations and a live action scene that gets released a few days after. Now on the website itself you cannot preview much, you can read the first few lines of every chapter and then you get prompted to watch the scene preview. So how long exactly is one chapter? On mansurfers every GrowlBoys entry has a lengthy text, now is that just a preview of the chapter or is it actually the whole written chapter? Then what about the illustrations, how many of them are there for every chapter? When you look at the live action scenes the first thing you notice is that those are old. You can clearly tell by the appearance of the actors that the scenes have been filmed years ago already, which makes me wonder if the same applies to the graphic novel part too.
So in a nutshell I just want to know if it's worth buying a membership.
The content itself looks very hot and interesting, but 28$ for just 1x update a month (no matter if it's graphic novel + scene) seems to be quite a bit outrageous.
