Chapter 338 – Return of Lucy (4)
Seo Joo-hwan turned on his computer after receiving a call that the article had been uploaded.
“It is very fast. Is it because it is an internet article? Oh, this is it.”
I looked at the article written by reporter Park Ji-yeon.
[“Devil Predator” Writer Seo Hwan “I started broadcasting on the Internet to write a new work”]
After confirming the title, Seo Joo-hwan burst into laughter.
“I said it as a joke, but you nailed it as a title.”
He asked me to promote the show, but I didn’t expect that he would promote it as a title. I wrote another article about Nobel Dice.
“Well. I wrote an article, but should I turn it on right away?”
Seo Joo-hwan immediately prepared the setting for the broadcast.
‘Wouldn’t that come in a lot?’
Even though it was published in an internet article, it had just been uploaded, so there were not many views. And even after a while, the number of views would not rise much. Who would look so hard for an interview with a web novel writer? It was just that he accepted the interview to start his first steps as a writer.
‘If I want to raise broadcasting, it’s more certain to put a straw through Sua.’
Han Soo-ah’s personal broadcast has become a large company with 300,000 followers. It even surpassed 500,000 YouTube subscribers. If he really wanted to increase the number of viewers, he would have promoted his broadcast by merging with Han Soo-ah.
‘It’s not like we’re going to broadcast a game in earnest, so if I ask Sua to promote it, I’d rather interrupt her.’
The broadcast he wanted was to turn on and play whenever he felt like it. In the meantime, if the number of followers increases, it’s a success, and it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t. Anyway, the purpose was on the wi tube that I would upload occasionally.
“Shall we do it in moderation today?”
Seo Joo-hwan laughed lightly and started the broadcast.

How many views will there be if an article interviewing a web novel writer who is not a famous celebrity comes out? No matter how much Seo Ju-hwan is a star writer, the perception that web novels in the early years of 2017 were still in their own league was prevalent.
In such an atmosphere, can a small Internet article have a significant impact on the number of broadcast viewers? At most, it’s mentioned in any community’s minor gallery. It’s like a web novel minor gallery.
[I saw an interview with the author of Akpo, and his face is off (photo attached)]
But what’s the fuck up? Is this a webso writer?
The title of the post was enough to grab the attention of users. If you go outside the gallery, there will be an absolute majority of people who are not interested in web novels, but this place is a gallery where people who like web novels gather. Writer Seo Hwan, who suddenly appeared a year ago and completed the three works, was a thankful writing wrapper who provided them with something interesting to read.
└ This is the author Seohwan? Did you write master possessor and demon eater?
└ Wow, you look bloody handsome. Why are you writing without being this bastard celebrity?
└ Please give me the link. What if there is no link?
└ What to do when you see a little red pepper
After a while, another post popped up again.
[Original interview with Seo Hwan (photo attached)]
I scraped it, but I also attached the link. I’ll take care of it
There are people who enter through the link. The number of views of articles that no one was interested in began to rise little by little.

[“Devil Predator” Writer Seo Hwan “I started broadcasting on the Internet to write a new work”]
Some say web novels are not novels. It is common for people who say they read books to ignore web novels, saying they are of low quality.
However, it is also true that the web novel market has made rapid progress in recent years. The size of the web novel market, which was around 10 billion won in 2013, has grown to 20 billion won in 2014 and 50 billion won in 2015. In 2016, it reached a market worth KRW 180 billion by more than three times that of the previous year.
As the market grew, so did the profits of writers. Although it is still only a small part, there have been star writers who have achieved profits of over 1 billion won with one work. ‘Artist Seohwan’, who conducted the face-to-face interview this time, is clearly in the ranks of star writers.

Below is an interview with author Seo Hwan.
[Author Seohwan: Attached photo]
Q1. Author Seohwan, did you have a chance to become a writer?
A1. The first time I wrote an article was when I was in high school. It was when I was 20 that I officially started serializing. Like many writers, I started out as a reader and ended up writing. The first time I read a novel was when I was 15.
At the time, I had a lot of hardships, but I was comforted by reading the novel at that time. It was nice to be able to forget about the troubles and worries of the real world while reading. Novels were my place of rest.
One day, I thought I wanted to write something that could be a resting place for others as I did. And now I am here.
(Syncopation)
Q3. Recently, the number of people who read web novels as well as those who write them is increasing. What do you think about the future prospects of the author?
A3. I think the web novel market will continue to grow in the future. Faster than ever. In 10 years, it is expected to be a trillion unit market.
(Syncopation)
Q6. Thank you for agreeing to the interview. As a fan, I hope that you will write good works in the future.
A6. Thank you for the great opportunity. I will be back with the next work in the near future.

Of course, few gallery members were interested in the trend of the web novel market. Because they were readers, not writers or businessmen.
What they paid attention to as readers was a different part.
[Special news] A new work by Seo Hwan has appeared.]
I heard the news. It hasn’t been serialized yet, so I’ve been scratching it, so read thishaha
『Q4. I finished three works in one year, and each novel has a different genre. Any special reason?
A4. I don’t have a special reason, I tend to write what I want to write at that time. When I was in the military, I thought of a lot of materials (laughs). You can write fantasy again, or you can write martial arts. I think my next work will be a modern one.
Q: You mentioned your next project. Can you give the reader a little tip?
A: It is a novel about a retired idol protagonist who will be broadcasting on the Internet. You can see it as everyday life, or you can see it as music. Recently, I turned on internet broadcasting to prepare for this new work.
Q: You mean you’re broadcasting yourself to write a novel?
A: Yes. Data research is good, but I prefer to do it myself if possible. Thank you for your interest.』
Comments from people caught in the fishing castle title were posted.
└ Oh shit, why didn’t it come up even after searching?
└ ㅆㅅ Please block this bastard
└ Limbs? I don’t really want it. Why do you look at it as a novel? Just look at the person
└ Why do you view romance as a novel? I need to fall in love in real life
└ Fuck you
[What is this? Did you turn on internet broadcasting to prepare for a new work?]
? Are you really broadcasting?
└ Why does the writer not write and use a lintel?
└ They say you’re doing it because you’re preparing for a new work.
└ That’s all you need to do is search for data. Why do you turn on the lintel yourself?
└ Why is he so angry? If so, would you go and ask?
└ I’m still looking
└ Share if you find it
└ ㅗ
[Hey, is this the same person? (Photo attached)]
Doesn’t he look exactly like the Swan model?
└ What is Swan?
└ Clothing shopping mall. The clothes are pretty, but I liked the model, so it was a hot topic. I was casted on the street by React during the fitting shoot.
└ What is React?
└ ;; Enter with Lee Chae-hee
└ Who is Lee Chae-hee?
└ Oh, go away
The user who wrote the post couldn’t overcome the frustration and moved to the fashion minor gallery. If you are there, you will sympathize with yourself.
On the other hand, the news was delivered to the artist gallery, not the reader-oriented web novel gallery.
[Insert that it’s a little hot]
[It’s ugly that the writer should try to promote it through broadcasting.]
Would you mind reviewing my post?

It was the day before that Seo Joo-hwan started broadcasting. The total number of viewers that day was 10. It was only ten people, but considering it was the first broadcast, it was a very large number.
But today more people came to the show. The number of viewers, which was only 5 when the broadcast was just started, exceeded 100 at some point, and now it is close to 300.
– Wow, your nickname is Seohwan.
– Are you the writer Seohwan?
– Is Seohwan the writer who wrote Devil Eater?
– Did you model Swan?
– Does Mangsaeng (aspiring writer) receive appreciation?
– I’m a fan of that author! I’ve seen Master Poison, Hoebyeongsaeng, and even Demon Eater!
Seo Joo-hwan bowed his head and expressed his gratitude.
“Uh, I’m Seohwan’s writer. Thank you for watching.”
He asked, scratching the corners of his eyes.
“By the way, did you come to see the article?”
-Yes
-Yes
– I saw it in the web novel gallery
– Nan artist gallery
– I’m a fashion gallery
– I heard that there is a writer of the master of possession in the webtoon gallery. By the way, he is not the artist of the picture, but the original author?
-Hahawhy is the gallery merged here?
– There are four galleries, Readers Gallery, Writers Gallery, Fashion Gallery, and Webtoon Gallery. Is it true that there are less than 500 viewers?
– It’s rather strange that I came this far.
Seo Joo-hwan affirmed in the last chat. He was surprised that the Internet article had spread to four galleries, and it was also strange that close to 300 people came to play there.
[Accomplishment, ‘100 viewers’ is achieved to receive 100LP.]
[Achievement, ‘200 viewers’ is achieved to receive 200LP.]
[Accomplishment, ‘300 viewers’ is achieved to receive 300LP.]
‘Five.’
A small amount of achievement points were awarded whenever the number of viewers increased by one hundred. It wasn’t a lot of points, but it felt like I was receiving pocket money when I accumulated points one by one.
Then the real pocket money came in.
Jinglang.
[Plant Jelly donated 10,000 won.]
– You said you are writing a new work. Please tell me about your new work.
“Uh? Did I open the sponsorship? Your support…”
It was when I was about to say, “You don’t have to do it.”
[1,000 LP will be paid by achieving the achievement ‘First Sponsorship’.]
[You sponsored 10,000 won and acquired 10LP.]
‘Uh?’
Seo Ju-hwan’s eyes widened.
‘Did sponsorship change into points instead of achievements?’
It was Lucy who answered the question.
[Right. You can earn points at the rate of donation/1000 only for live broadcasting.]
This is information that I did not know because I had never received a donation yesterday.
Seo Joo-hwan stopped his hand trying to block his support his and quickly answered the question.
“Thank you for your support of 10,000 won. You mean new? As I said in the interview, this new work is a lintel. I’m still working on a specific setting, so I can’t tell you in detail, but the concept is daily life, music, and healing.”
[Plant Jelly donated 1,000 won.]
– Thank you. But what kind of show are you doing here?
Another 1LP was accumulated.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled at the corners of his mouth and counted inwardly. Is it possible to receive donations and collect points? I don’t think this ratio is going to be very effective. No, but even if you only earn 10,000 LPs a day, it’s 300,000 LPs in a month. But how much should I get for 10,000 LPs?
Seo Joo-hwan, who finished the calculations in an instant, couldn’t hide a laugh.
‘Patience. You have to earn 10 million won to get 10,000 LPs.’
Efficiency is like, really. Should I just turn off the broadcast?
