1. Naver Web Novel
https://novel.naver.com/webnovel/weekday
Naver Web Novel is the first platform to officially use the name Web Novel in Korea. After reorganizing the existing Naver N Store into the Naver series in January 2019, Naver began to focus its capabilities on the paid serialized web novel service of the Naver series. The situation is getting.
Since the Naver series appeared in January 2019, Naver web novels have continued to be alienated from Naver's web novel business. Unlike Naver Webtoon, which has a standalone app, Naver Web Novel was replaced with a service of four Webso works in the Naver series without a separate app. The fact that there is no single application as of 2020, when smartphones have become commonplace, is the same as saying that Naver is not paying that much attention to Naver web novels.
In addition, there are popular works that are not serialized on the webso like the dead figure in the tutorial tower, too strong to grow only flowers, zombie apocalypse whiteout, volcanic return, mage rebirth, severe trauma center: golden hour, and Cheonhwailo, but only as a series exclusively on Naver series. Increasingly, there are works without illustrations that were characteristic of Naver web novels, and there are cases where works that have been completed in Naver series are re-serialized in Naver web novels, such as Return to Player and Earth-type Savior Archetype. After 2019, it can be safely said that the central axis of Naver's web novel business has completely shifted from Naver web novels to Naver series.
In addition, Naver's web novel site logo also uses its own logo, which is distinct from the Naver series. In conclusion, Naver web novel was a platform that had considerable popularity and influence in the early 2010s, but since the mid-2010s, the competing platform Kakao Page The popularity of the platform declined due to various factors, such as the advancement of the Internet and the mainstreaming of the paid payment model. In the end, the current Naver web novel is subordinated to the Naver series under the name of today's web novel and is in a state of being alive.
2. Become a Naver Web Novel Writer
Challenge League -> Best League -> Today's web novel is a system that goes up through stages.
In the Challenge League, good novels about twice a month are promoted to the Best League, and there is a function that allows you to pay for it when you reach the Best League. However, even if you work hard and make it to the Best League, there is little reward for it. The benefit of being in the Best League is the ability to apply for a preview service and sell your work, which is a function given to all amateurs on other web novel sites. The advantage of Naver paid serialization is that the writer's share of sales is very large. 70% is paid to the artist.
If so, the only remaining benefit is to upgrade to an official serialization, but the problem is not very good. Naver web novels seem to be daunting to fill new works with only the next works of existing authors, or works that have been submitted directly to Naver web novels by established authors and passed the examination. As of the end of March 2015, almost a year after the Best League service started, the Best League has been promoted to an official series only five times (a total of six works).
3. How to serialize Naver web novels
If you click 'Upload Artwork' on the web novel site, you can upload it immediately. The serialization can be uploaded by deciding the free serialization and the day of the week. Web novels are often viewed on mobile, so the sentence ending with a period unconditionally starts with one or two spaces and the sentence begins again.
4. Limitations of Current Naver Web Novel Content
Since the plots are all similar, it is difficult to even determine whether it is plagiarism or not. If you just change the format and settings a little and change the illustrations, it becomes a new work. In particular, modern romance novels, which account for the majority of Naver web novels, are even more serious.
