What is “Let’s Become a Novelist”?

The site “Let’s Become a Novelist” is where enormously popular works like “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime”, “Overlord”, “Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World”, and “I have been reincarnated to the villain daughter who has only the ruin flag of the maiden game … ]” reside. It is a novel posting site where many works are posted and that acts as a stepping stone to them being published.

 

Fans have affectionately nicknamed the site “Narou” (*from the Japanese title “Shosetsuka ni Narou”). The site has overlying themes of reincarnation in another world or travelling to other worlds which are now commonly referred to as the “Narou Genre”  

There are a number of other novel posting sites, however “Let’s Become a Novelist” is the largest one in Japan with the largest number of novel postings.

 

The current number of users has already exceeded 800,000 and user registration is required to post a novel, but registration itself is free. 

 

If you’re just going to the site to read novels, you can do so without registering. However, registering as a user on the site comes with its own perks such as being able to bookmark stories you like, as well as rate them. This is why there are many users who are registered and don’t necessarily post novels.
