Kakuyomu (カクヨム)

Kakuyomu is a Japanese platform for writing, reading and sharing web novels, run jointly by KADOKAWA and Hatena. Registered users can publish serialized fiction, enter contests, review and rate stories, track their own reading history and receive update notifications for favorite authors, while an original-only section called Kakuyomu Next hosts stories exclusive to the platform. Genres on the site include isekai fantasy, contemporary fantasy, romance, science fiction, horror and historical fiction, with a weekly ranking of the most-followed ongoing serials and listings of titles that have been adapted into published books or comics.
