Syosetu

Syosetu, also known as Shōsetsuka ni Narō, is a popular Japanese website where amateur writers publish and share their original fiction, primarily in the web novel format. It functions as a platform for authors to publish serialized stories, gain feedback, and build a readership without traditional publishing barriers. Many successful light novels and manga series originate from works first posted on Syosetu, making it a significant hub for new talent and creative content in Japan’s literary and entertainment industries.
