Webnovel

It would be so much faster to have her read webnovels, but my sister isn't tech savvy and doesn't have a smartphone, so books it is.

A small subset of webnovels is light novels, which is a term that describes webnovels that have been picked up by a Japanese publisher.

Many novels, dramas, comics, and animated shows produced in China are based on popular webnovels.

Maybe not so much in Chinese webnovels, which are delightfully unrestrained and often run to hundreds of chapters, but in many other realms of writing, where an editor would have told the author to cut it out, or the author would have cut it out in anticipation of being told as much.

Because of the media mentioned above, as well as the growing Western popularity of breakout Chinese shows like The Untamed and Word of Honour (which were originally webnovels), which could be streamed on Netflix, wuxia and xianxia are both experiencing a cultural moment for English-speaking audiences.

She will oversee all aspects of development across the studio’s growing slate of series adaptations from Webtoon’s global IP catalog and Wattpad webnovels.
