Chapter 340 – Lucy’s Return (6)
Do you only discuss writing skills in web novels?
Although the writers were heated, it was not something to worry about. How can it be that web novels are ignored for a day or two? In 2016, the development more than tripled and the market size of close to 200 billion won was formed, but even so, it was still in their own league.
Subculture after all. A subculture that has not been popularly established.
His pen name’Seo-hwan’and his works that hit the jackpot were hot potatoes only among those who were interested. After all, there are more people who don’t even know that web novels exist. Even if I knew it, wouldn’t it remind me of Internet novels in the early 2000s where special characters were rampant at most?
Seo Joo-hwan smiled and tapped the chair hanger.
‘It’s a frustrating sound from the standpoint of knowing the future.’
As I said in the interview, there is nothing to go on until 10 years later. The web novel market, which has grown more than three times in the past year, continues its momentum in 2017. The 180 billion market will become 270 billion, reaching 600 billion in 2020. How appetizing a market it must have been for large corporations like Kakao and Navy to invest hundreds or hundreds of billions of won to grow in size. It’s been a long time since platforms that have already smelled the money have started growing their own platforms by guaranteeing high fees in the billions to established writers.
‘Why do you compare pure literature and web novels in the first place? The writing style is different, and the points that readers find interesting are also different.’
Isn’t the sport itself different? I do not compare foot volleyball with soccer as it is a sport played with my feet. It’s as meaningless as trying to determine the superiority and inferiority of classical music and K-pop with the same standard of music. Similarly, it was Seo Ju-hwan’s idea that web novels and pure literature were not to be compared.
In his opinion of him, the word “Writing ability” Was very ambiguous. Is the writing skill they are talking about about writing ability, or the power of writing a story that readers can enjoy reading?
Even if you write admirable and beautiful sentences, there are many articles that are not interesting. On the other hand, even if the sentence is deplorable, there are many articles that make you want to read the next part. Just as web novel writers couldn’t rub against pure literature, there were many cases in which pure literature writers did not eat in this edition.
In the end, pure literature and genre literature have only one thing in common, ‘writing’, but they are items with different purposes and characteristics. He doesn’t think there’s any need to pounce on what’s better and what’s lesser.
One interesting thing was the fact that while not a few people were attacking the genre of web novels, more and more writers were entering this edition. I’m not just talking about pure literature writers. Broadcasting PDs, drama writers, playwrights, writers in various fields, as well as people with casual jobs such as doctors, lawyers, and prosecutors, are exploring the potential of the market and dipping their feet into it. And most of them, with the exception of some extremely talented people, go through trial and error and re-study the genre of web novels that they used to laugh at.
Seo Joo-hwan thought that people who came in quickly were really amazing.
A place with insight. In the future he knows, web novels become the foundation of OSMU (One source multi-use), extending to webtoons, games, dramas, animations, and movies in secondary and tertiary ways. It is stable in the trillion unit market beyond 2025, and illegal translations called K-content are common abroad.
‘It’s not like Seok-chan is installing a platform just because he’s making it.’
Come to think of it, Lee Seok-chan is also a very crazy person. 30 billion as initial capital, and 70 billion sooner or later. Another 200 billion won was saved with the intention of watching the trend and continuing to invest. It was very frightening to spend money like water to the point where it seemed ridiculous to say that there was a possibility. I was lucky enough to win with stocks and coins, so it doesn’t matter if I lose. Damn, isn’t that your money?
Seo Joo-hwan shook his head with an empty laugh that came out of his mind again.
“Anyway, I think it would be good to expand the genre to earn points.”
[Good idea. You will be able to achieve another achievement with the web novel.]
“Is that right?”
Seo Joo-hwan smiled with satisfaction and took out a book from the bookshelf. A work that won the Man Booker Prize, one of the world’s three major literary awards. Although he has many thoughts about pure literature, in the end it is a book he likes. I don’t like some of the things that demean this version, but apart from that, I used to chew on the well-written article several times.
“I like paper books, too.”
It’s been a long time since I’ve been turning the bookshelves one by one, and I was impressed again. Because of this taste, the paper book market is getting smaller and smaller, but it will survive until the end.
The palak and the sound of turning the pages added to the excitement of reading.

Seo Joo-hwan continued to broadcast for several days. He changed his tone as if he were talking to a friend in response to the reaction that it was hard to talk, and adopted a simple 10-second poppin with vocal mimicry using his ‘voice actor’ and ‘dancing’ talents as a reaction to the donation. In addition, before the image was hardened by picture broadcasting, diversity was saved by adding game and song contents. Even the merger with Han Soo-ah.
[4,000 LP will be paid by achieving the achievement, ‘4,000 viewers’.]
Thanks to this, the maximum number of viewers reached 4,000, and now, when the broadcast is turned on, the average number of viewers is 1,500 lightly maintained.
[(Video sponsor) Kkotshabu sponsored 50,000 won.]
– Hwan’s voice is so good. Please mimic this scene vocally!
What viewers requested was a scene in which the escort samurai from a historical drama that ended airing a month ago makes a quiet confession while teasing the female protagonist.
Seo Joo-hwan, who watched the video, used his special ability. As he was broadcasting, he was able to use abilities that he normally had no use for.
[The special ability ‘Vocal imitation’ is activated.]
“I heard there is a pair of straw sandals, but won’t someone take them? If you don’t see it, come find me. I’ll make one for you.”
There was a slight difference from the original voice, but overall, the lines with a tone and atmosphere very similar to the previous video came out.
– Ahh! It’s fucking cringe!
– It’s cheesy, but it’s amazing every time I see it. How can you improvise and be so the same?
– You think that was done on the spot? I guess I should have practiced beforehand.
– They do everything you ask them to do, but you practiced dozens of them in advance? I have to say something that makes sense
– Hwan’s voice melts softly
– Is this Gurgasm?
– I want to hear your voice right in front of you.
– Ladies and aunties, stop drinking alcohol. Hard to see
[Naero Nambul sponsored 30,000 won.]
-Stop acting like a bitch and show me poppin’
We played the prepared BGM and danced for 10 seconds. She didn’t even have to get up from her chair, just bouncing and hitting her shoulders and chest was enough.
– Kyaaak! Dance well! Why aren’t you celebrities?
-Look at the broad shoulders, Chureup
– Oh shit, I didn’t sponsor for this.
– Let’s just sing a song
– You’d be screaming at that too. Just a picture broadcast
Male viewers hated chatting with female viewers who had increased the sex ratio before they knew it.
Seo Joo-hwan also groaned in his heart. It’s nice to praise him, but trying to see the chat in real time was running out of breath.
“From now on, let’s just play Ouman. Yes?”
There was a brief backlash. Some people said that they were unlucky and said, “I can’t even praise myself.”
What do you know? To be honest, it doesn’t matter if all the female viewers show up. He said with a frown after giving a chat ban to several severely affected people.
“Anyone still dissatisfied? Or by eliminating reactions altogether in the future?”
– ㅗㅜㅑ
– ㅗㅜㅑ
– ㅗㅜㅑ
– You can see how fast the suppression is.
“Right. This is a bigwich to adapt to the culture.”
Seo Joo-hwan nodded his head in satisfaction. In the first place, there were only a few people who sincerely used chatting. He was only so conspicuous, at least in numbers.
– Webso Cheekduck Bastards Localized On
“I’m writing that damn novel, but do you want to get banned too?”
– Hehe; sorry
After that, he drew some pictures and threw a comment at the end of the broadcast.
“Today’s broadcast ends here. Well done everyone!”
Viewers clamored for the early indulgence.
– What! Why is it already off today?
– What, show me the next cut. Now it’s a scene that needs to be stormed!
The last thing I painted was Lucifer of Demon Eater taking off her clothes. Viewers protested strongly when I finished drawing only the silhouette with the clothes flowing down.
Seo Joo-hwan laughed as if he were taking medicine.
“If you draw that far, the broadcast will be stopped. It was close just now, but what?”
– Then put it on Perksive!
– It’s not bad to stop and eat once in a while
– You have to experience that at least once to grow.
“These people are not self-broadcasting. Anyway, I have an appointment now, so I have to go. Effort!”
After that, Seo Joo-hwan turned off the broadcast.
Viewers chatted in a broadcasting room where the screen was charred.
– Evande, the in-house host
– The host, that deceiver, is going to meet a girl.
– I’m going to go and have a storm
– 『Seohwan: I’m going to meet the editor for a new work;
Seo Ju-hwan, who left the last chat, broke into a cold sweat.
Like scary people How are you not?
*
After finishing a storm, Mi-hwa Choi asked in her arms her.
“I hear you’re interested in the pure gate these days?”
“Did Seok-chan tell you?”
“Yes. The site is now open, but all of a sudden, they complain about using pure text.”
“It’s a misunderstanding, is that it? I am also writing a new book.”
Choi Mi-hwa’s eyes became rather sharp at the explanation, not the explanation. She argued, having gone into type addict mode.
“What, if you wrote a new work, you should have sent it right away. I thought he was taking a break because he was only broadcasting these days.”
“Ugh. I was going to send it today anyway. Other editors told me to write and send by episode 10. Why are you in such a hurry? Who is not a type addict?”
“Huh. You can feel it just by watching episode 3, right?”
“Is that a compliment? Why does it sound like a scolding?”
When she looked at her dumbfounded, she realized that Choi Mi-hwa was also doing something wrong, and she put on an embarrassed expression. Anyway, when I talk about novels, I roll my eyes.
She quickly changed the subject.
“Then, the new work will be sent right away, and why is the order? You couldn’t believe it was like watching a broadcast chat at that time, right?”
“Yes? Were you there then?”
Viewers who had been arguing about the pure gate and the webso hit the van right away. If you saw that, it meant you watched the broadcast on the first day.
Choi Mi-hwa nodded her head.
“I saw an article on the Internet and went straight to the broadcast.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“It tasted like watching secretly.”
“It’s sinister. Now add voyeurism… Bill, don’t pinch.”
“Huh. Tell me why Is it really because of that chat?”
Seo Joo-hwan awkwardly scratched the corners of his eyes her. What can I say about this Of course, he can’t say that the purpose is to collect points.
“It’s not because of the chat, it’s just that I’m interested in it. I wanted to try it once.”
“Are you serious?”
“Depending on?”
“Then show me too.”
“It’s still a bit like that. The more I wrote it, the more it was different from a web novel, so it didn’t work well. I’m embarrassed to show it.”
“Ugh. My feedback is… Are you going to be a little overcrowded? I’ve seen a lot of pure gates, but….”
Choi Mi-hwa is an outstanding editor with the talents of ‘eye view’ and ‘speed reading’. While she is an editor, she also has good feedback skills as a reader. However, as she writes web novels and pure literature, her feedback her must also be different. She was a bit unwilling for her to give her detailed advice to her.
At that time, she seemed to think of Choi Mi-hwa as something about her. Ah, she did and she made a noise.
“Juhwan-ah, can I introduce you to one of the writers?”
“Writer?”
“Yes. Among the writers I was in charge of before, there was someone with an unusual background. You were on the side of the door… No, you are there. Even now, you have a great influence in that industry. “
“Really? Who?”
“Well. That’s a bit obvious. Because the author wanted to keep it a secret. Even his co-workers say he does n’t know that he writes web novels.”
“Can’t you tell me too?”
“If Joo-hwan asks you to tell me, he will tell you, but…….”
It’s a look you don’t like very much.
Seo Joo-hwan nodded his head saying he knew. I didn’t want to embarrass her with her personal greed.
Choi Mi-hwa was grateful for her heart her, so she smiled softly and continued her words.
“Instead, I’ll ask a sneak peek. I haven’t signed a contract yet, but the writer said that we would try to serialize it this time. I’m a fan of yours, so you’ll probably like it.”
“Are you my fan?”
“Yes. He said he especially enjoyed watching Hoebyeongsaeng. She liked it very much, saying that it was fun to solve military conflicts in the form of a web novel. Even though I gave you a book, you said it was for your collection, and you bought another copy separately.”
“Thank you. I really want to see you once.”
“Perhaps it is possible. I will try to contact you today.”
Seo Joo-hwan nodded her head and pulled her into her arms.
“As expected, Mi-hwa is the only one.”
He whispered in a sweet voice as if dripping with honey, even using his ‘voice actor’ talent.
Choi Mi-hwa said with a moved expression.
“What did you say? With so many.”
“…….”
It was the same expression.
Seo Joo-hwan had nothing to say, so he shut his mouth.
