Serial King: Web Novel Idle

Quit the day job. Start writing tonight.
Serial King is an idle tycoon game about an unknown author climbing a web novel platform's charts. (The game is in Korean.)

How it plays
• Pick a genre and combine three trope cards — regression, hunters, villainess and more — to plan your series. Good combos and this week's trends bring more readers.
• Tap the manuscript paper to write, or just let words pile up. Some writing continues while the app is closed.
• Each chapter, choose a beat: build-up, payoff, romance, foreshadowing, reveal or cliffhanger. Too much frustration tires readers; a well-timed payoff sends views soaring.
• Read the comments and send author hearts.
• Climb the ranking to land a paid contract, finish your series for a final grade and earn royalties from your library.
• Upgrade your desk and studio, and debut again under a new pen name once your finished works pile up.
