Kakuyomu

Kakuyomu is a Japanese online platform where writers can publish and share their original stories and novels. It functions similarly to fanfiction or web novel sites, allowing authors to reach readers directly and receive feedback. The platform fosters a community of writers and readers interested in diverse genres, including fantasy, romance, and adventure. Kakuyomu also offers tools to track story popularity and advance writing skills. It’s popular in Japan for nurturing amateur writing talent and helping authors build an audience before potentially pursuing traditional publishing.
