Before sending a reply…

I was a little curious, so I decided to check out the new web novel site.

Even if you don’t serialize here, wouldn’t you be able to check if it’s a good site and serialize your articles?

Typically, new web novel sites start by buying and selling works.

So I’m thinking of checking out what kind of novels there are.

Umm…is this the address?

Click.

When I clicked on the address in the email, I was automatically connected to the site through a hyperlink.

The website itself was clean and easy to view, and there was an event on the banner that added a settlement amount depending on the number of views of the uploaded works.

And the novels on sale…

Often, there are a lot of works that were popular during the rental store era.

It’s not a bad idea to aim for specificity in this way.

However, in that case, an online rental store like Reece Books would be appropriate, not a web novel serial site.

All works being serialized have low views.

The number of views of the currently ranked #1 work is around 3,000 views?

“Hmm… I see pen names that seem like I’ve seen them somewhere…”

It seems that there are other established writers like me who are writing after receiving emails.

It seems that no one knows because the platform itself is not well-known.

Usually, things like this are done through viral marketing, right?

It would be done by advertising in a large web novel community.

” Now that I think about it, there’s nothing special about renting works from the rental store era…”

The Green Green web novel platform also rents works from the rental store era.

In addition, don’t they translate and rent Japanese light novels and comics?

There is no advantage whatsoever.

I need to come up with a proper concept.

What is most needed in the web novel market right now?

First of all, I think the problem with web novels is that there is no clear distinction between male and female characters.

Some readers tend to be disappointed because all platforms have both at the same time.

Most writers are commercial writers, so they write according to the platform’s inclinations.

“Because I am also a commercial writer…”

For example, a harem story in which several men cling to one woman is feminine.

There may be a rare number of male readers, but this is a very small number and it is mostly seen by women.

But aren’t most web novel platforms now neutral?

If we assume that there are half male readers and half female readers, that means that only 50% of women and very few men watch harem content.

And even those women read different web novels depending on the genre of their hobby.

Wouldn’t it be a commercially successful web novel if there was only 25% of the market demand?

But let’s say there is a female-oriented web novel platform.

There may be male users who use female-oriented web novel platforms, but they are likely to be a very small minority.

How marketable would writing for women be on this platform?

It will be possible to secure at least close to 50%.

It is 25% on androgynous web novel platforms, but about 50% on female-oriented web novel platforms.

If it is as large as the Green Green web novel platform, it is much more advantageous.

“Wait a minute. Now that I think about it, am I part of the 25% sample?”

I’m writing for women on an androgynous web novel platform.

However, in the case of my writing, male readers also love it a lot, so it doesn’t really matter.

I think the ratio was about 70:30.

“I’m embarrassed, but I’m definitely a successful writer…”

A webtoon adaptation of a completed work.

And recently, it was even animated.

Currently, a work that is being serialized around episode 100 is being released as a webtoon, and I am excited to see a drama coming out…

In addition, the writer himself is also a script writer for a drama that will be broadcast on a famous TV drama TV station…

what?

Was it really successful?

Is it finally time to brag?

“No… a person must be humble until the end…”

It’s not that I’m good, but the readers who enjoy my work are good.

You must remember that a writer’s life is always on the edge of a cliff.

“Phew… But how should I send a reply… It would be a bit strange if I called our management and asked them to buy the work.”

Just in case, let me leave a direct phone number and send it to you.

The manager’s phone number will do the trick.

“Huh? A lot of things have increased here.”

It’s been a while since I visited the new web novel platform I received an email from before, and the number of works has increased considerably.

Among them, there are quite famous completed works, and there are also popular works that have been serialized for a while.

Plus a discount.

They are selling 100 won collectibles for 80 won each, and they are holding an event where you can get another 20% discount if you buy in bulk.

It has to be like this.

This is a market economy.

Platforms must compete on price for the benefit of consumers.

Of course, there must be a condition that the writers should suffer less damage.

“There are a lot of interesting things. But looking at it now, the management…”

I think a lot of the interesting new works come from writers who have signed a contract with our management.

Like this… and that too….

“Did you contact the manager? But why isn’t there any work of mine?”

Did you give up because it was too expensive?

I may have held off on purchasing it because it is still small.

I also looked around the serial section.

Previously, works with around 3,000 views were ranked first, but now works with 150,000 views are ranked first.

It grows really fast, right?

“I’d like to do a free serial here too.”

I think it will be decided whether or not it is possible to make a paid service after about episode 15…

It’s worth a try because the number of people has increased.

I hope you’re okay.

Why not just give it a try?

***

“I obviously used a different pen name…”

Why do readers know that this pen name is my pen name?

Is it that noticeable in the writing style?

Even if you look at my writing, you don’t really understand it.

“I thought I understood. Just by looking at it, it was Siwoo’s handwriting.”

“Is it obvious like that?”

“Well… the sentences are similar, so I just needed to compare them a little to understand.”

Hmm… I guess that’s the case with my sister.

Because he was a fan even before he knew my identity.

However, no matter how famous it became, I never thought there would be someone using that web novel platform.

“Your sister just came to visit after seeing the community? Because there are various people in today’s world.”

“Does this mean there are a lot of strange people?”

“No! No matter how small the web novel platform is, there are people who use it!”

Okay, okay.

Okay, so I hope you lower your voice a little.

There was a noise that made Dahye feel like she was going to open the door and come in wondering what was going on…

Jump up!

Sure enough, the front door burst open and Dahye came in.

As always, when he saw his sister bickering, he ran over here and started to stop her.

“Sister! No matter what, you can’t hit me!”

“Uh…huh?”

” Even if you’re a man, you can’t say things casually!”

“….Dahye?”

“Uh huh!!”

What on earth are you misunderstanding?

It seems that Da-hye misunderstands that I got beaten up because I was rude to my older sister.

It was true before common sense changed.

Still, I have never been hit since my common sense changed.

“Dahye. I didn’t hit you, so don’t worry.”

Then, the older sister started stroking Dahye’s head.

Is it an illusion that I feel a little sorry for you?

I feel like I’m taking care of a close younger sibling who is a little lacking.

“Then what made you scream?”

“That’s it, right? Siwoo This guy was framing me. He said I treated his readers like strange people.”

“Really?”

“No… no matter who saw it, it felt that way.”

There was no problem in context, but the way he spoke seemed to be surprising.

So I tried to use that as an excuse to play a prank on my sister.

Hmm… Anyway, I’m not without fault.

I apologized first.

“Okay. My younger brother held out his hand, but I couldn’t throw it away.”

“Kkieeeaaa!”

While saying that, did you plan to turn my hand into a rat?

How could a woman’s body be squeezed so strongly by a man’s hand?

The inside of the house was filled with a sense of death that was as if it were twisting a squeak.

“Boss. Please pay for this.”

“What is it?”

“This is the payment document to post Siwoo’s work on a platform called Double Double.”

“Huh? Are there still more contracts to be made?”

It seems like the boss doesn’t know that there is a new web novel platform.

I wonder if you know that Siwoo has been writing there recently.

The owner looked at the payment documents presented to me for a while and then tilted his head.

There seems to be something strange about you.

“This is my first time hearing about this place… Are there a lot of people?”

“It is a recently popular place, so the number is increasing.”

“I see. Then we should sell it here too.”

The owner immediately signed and stamped it.

When it comes to matters related to Siwoo, I always have a big heart.

You read it correctly, right?

It would be difficult to preach for 5 hours just to get scolded like last time.
