This appears to be industry wide and not specific to Kadokawa.
I don't see anything about royalties here. https://x.com/Virginia2touhei/status/1848052790914159104 This tweet says there won't be 'tokuten' (which are the retailer specific extras; 'bonus features' sounds like the extra stuff between chapters) because they were told they'd get paid for that, and then that promise was broken. (Not clear if that's what made them balk at drawing a cover this time, too, but they haven't completely ruled out the possibility of doing a cover.) |

I would like to know if they get paid for their drawings on the novels up front. As in a payment for services instead of royalties. A lot of books in the west have artists who receive once off payments. Of course there are some other books that rely on art a lot that also include artists in author royalties.
