They absolutely will get disqualified. This is a contest for ONE SHOT, SINGLE ISSUE STORIES. Those retards were either too stupid to read the damn rules, or they're posting their shit up there for attention knowing full well they aren't going to get anywhere in the contest.
Long story short, DON'T DO IT. It's one-shot or no shot at all.
The "first chapter of muh 1000 chapter epic mango" is fine if it's a self-contained story, but I wouldn't subtitle it as LE CHAP-DURR ONE like those other dipshits are doing. You aren't entering to actually get a series in Shonen Jump. It's just a contest.
Contradict me if you think I'm wrong on whether or not it would be a good idea to call a contest entry a "first chapter", but if you ask me it just reeks of cringe and neediness and imo I just wouldn't do it, even if you actually are dedicated to working on a longer manga project. Save the "chapter one" business for actual publishing, wheher self-publishing or if it's picked up by a publishing company.

I try to help beginners on this board but they fight me over everything I try to teach them. It feels like they just want me to say "You're right, I'm only good because I'm talented and you will always suck, so stop trying and quit". No matter what I say they just seem to want to wallow in their misery. I try to be positive and hopeful, all that does is make them lash out at me. Beginners on /ic/ are the absolute worst.
