2	[[https://syosetu.com/ Shousetsuka ni Narou]] (小説家になろう "Let's Become a Novelist") is a Japanese-language self-publishing platform for {{Web Serial Novel}}s, started by Yusuke Umezaki in 2004. It initially also hosted [[{{Fanfic}} fan fiction]], but this was eventually banned in 2012 in order to encourage posting original works.
3
4	The site is free to use, and it's become increasingly common for {{Light Novel\|s}} publishers such as Creator/DengekiBunko to search its archive and license popular works for professional publication. This has caused the website to become very influential on Japanese media: it's in large part responsible for the glut of LitRPG and {{isekai}} anime and manga in TheNewTens.

6	Compare Platform/{{Wattpad}}, which can be considered the closest English-language equivalent (though unlike Shousetsuka ni Narou, it does allow fanfiction).
7	----
8	!!Tropes common in works on the platform:
9	* LitRPG: It's quite common for works posted here to directly cite {{RPG mechanics\|Verse}}, especially [[TheSixStats stats]], SkillScoresAndPerks.
10	* PenName: Works that originate on the platform are usually published under the author's username, even if they're later bought and professionally published.
11	* TrappedInAnotherWorld: It's fair to say that the {{isekai}} explosion of TheNewTens might not have happened but for all the otakus on this platform writing thinly disguised {{Self Insert Fic}}s of various SpeculativeFiction works (with fanfics of ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'' being the most popular before the site made the rule of original works only).
12	* WorkInfoTitle: This website is a big part of the reason why so many light novels, manga, and anime from the TheNewTens on have used absurdly long titles to fully describe the premise, rather than just using a publishing blurb.
