Kakao Entertainment announced on the 7th that it will unveil its May lineup for the KakaoPage 'New Works Project' web novel.
The KakaoPage 'New Works Project' is a project that presents two selected new web novels each month, along with user viewing events. It aims to discover and introduce return works by authors who have recorded significant achievements on KakaoPage, as well as anticipated works that have received attention for their excellent completeness, garnering a lot of response from users.
The first 'New Works Project' piece is 'Forgotten Fields,' which officially began serialization on the 5th. The new work is written by Kim Su-ji, the author of 'Under the Oak Tree,' which has been recognized for changing the box office landscape of Korean romance fantasy web novels by becoming a New York Times bestseller and hitting bestseller lists in five countries on Amazon. 'Forgotten Fields' is exclusively presented on KakaoPage, and it has attracted high attention even before its release due to the fact that it shares a worldview with 'Under the Oak Tree.' The pre-released first chapter, which came out on the 19th alongside 'Under the Oak Tree,' ranked 7th in KakaoPage's web novel romance fantasy weekly ranking. As soon as it was officially launched, it rose to 2nd in the daily view ranking across all genres of webtoons and web novels.
'Forgotten Fields' is a romance fantasy depicting the fateful love between the tragic princess Talia Roem Guirta, born from an affair, and the Eastern nobleman Barkas Laedgo Shirkan. There is a lot of anticipation for the profound narrative and direction that Kim Su-ji will unfold, given the many fans who have been waiting.
The second 'New Works Project' piece is 'How the Regressed Munchkin Eats the Tower,' which was launched on the 29th. This new action fantasy is by Gu-yu, who has written several popular web novels on KakaoPage, including 'Rescue System' and 'Stat Up,' which have accumulated over 26 million views. Its unique fast-paced development and dynamic action are its strengths.
The story depicts the protagonist, who was the strongest in the world, returning to the past to struggle to prevent humanity's extinction. It received a great response by achieving 2nd place in the KakaoPage web novel fantasy weekly ranking just one day after launch.
To commemorate the launch of the 'New Works Project' pieces, KakaoPage will hold various events. Starting from May, for a month, a 'New Works Archiving' event will provide readers enjoying the works with a cash lottery ticket worth up to 10,000 won. From the 5th to the 14th, through the 'KakaPe Novel Club' event, participants can receive a cash lottery ticket worth up to 10,000 won and three web novel vouchers. Additionally, to celebrate the launch of 'Forgotten Fields,' various events will be held until the 17th, including a 'Attendance Event' that gifts up to 1,000 cash daily and a 'Raffle Event' where participants can win luxury wallets, sunglasses, and more.
