Question How's the webnovel scene in your country?

By now, we're mostly aware of the scenario in Japan, China and Korea, with major websites dipping their toes into it. While there's no dedicated site for KR translations, there's a significant number of translated works all over the place.

I did see some Thai and Filipino novels on NU sometime ago and was curious how the scene's in your country. So fellow users outside of the US, what's the deal? Is there an active webnovel scene and no translators or are there not very many places to publish?

 

webnovel? on infant stage~
there many fanfic on fanfic.net but most on comedy,romance and bl~
start to concentrate on moelightnovel and FB group but I forget what da group name~

 

Webnovel? Drier than sahara.....

 

Nonexistent

 

I think a lot of countries have a really big intersection between the group of people who're interested in webnovels and the group that has sufficient English fluency that it's just not worth it to write in the local language at that point outside of the Big 3. Of course this excludes EU countries.

 

Trying to think of Canadian webnovels... All I can come up with are those weird french cartoons that popupp between shows sometimes and Nanalan. I sure hope that we don't make a dedicated Canadian webnovel service.

 

...there are some small sites around, yeah.

But most Swedish literature is taken very seriously, still. Authors are very respected here, and we have a long history of outstanding ones.

So... not really anything major, basically. Which is how I prefer it, tbh; I don't want this trash infecting my homeland anyway

 

Filipino webnovels became popular in wattpad. Many popular ones have been reached by publishers and got published. However... most of these, as far as I know are romance pocket books and horror stories for teenage girls.
I dont do wattpad nowadays so Im not too sure about it anymore.

PS: as long as Filipino webnovels becomes popular oversees... I don't think it would be hard to find a translator because many can speak english here.

 

Web novel,I think I'm the only one in my city
Light novel,there's a few bookstore that sells them in the capital
Manga,basically part of my childhood

The older generation basically calls any anime except naruto,conan,and doraemon as porn

 

Are you talking about the 51st state of the United States? I dont see no Canada in muh maps

 

I don't bat an eye for de novels in my place muchless webnovels....

 

Don't mind us we aren't even here.

 

Non existent, people are more interested in selfies than in doing something productive

 

none

 

There are. Majorly amateur r18 stories though...

 

Someone else will have to answer for Murica, I only know royalroadl exists but don't even know if that's USA or not.

 

we don't have webnovels here in Philippines, but we have some TV series that are cringy as hell~

 

Too many isekai/gaming novels written by grade-schoolers, 90% of them have the same self-insert-wet-dream template and many of them are on hiatus, temporarily and permanently.

 

I always thought rrl was here in the states coz so many of the stories then move on to amazon to self-publish?
