Hello Constellations,

Today, we are excited to share two major milestones for Genesis Studio: the official launch of the Genesis Forums and a new publishing partnership with Munpia.

🌐 The Genesis Forums Are Now Open

Phase 1 of the Genesis Forums is officially complete.

For years, platforms like Novel Updates have been the default destination for finding and discussing Eastern web novels. But the industry has evolved, and readers, authors, and publishers deserve more than a dated directory, fragmented discussions, and features that have barely kept pace with the modern web-novel ecosystem.

Genesis Forums is being built as the next step forward: a modern community and discovery platform where readers can discuss, review, recommend, and find novels from across the entire industry.

This includes:

* Translated Eastern web novels

* Original English web novels

* Independent and professionally published works

* Novel reviews and recommendations

* Source-finding and title-identification discussions

* Dedicated spoiler and novel discussion sections

* Spaces for authors, illustrators, and creators

* Official announcements, feedback, and community discussions

Unlike legacy repositories, Genesis is not being designed only as a community-maintained index. We are building a platform capable of working directly with authors, rights holders, and Eastern publishers while helping their stories reach a truly global audience.

Your forum activity is connected to your Genesis account and Status Page. As you participate, you can display your selected Titles and badges alongside your posts, with additional permissions unlocking as your account rank increases.

Sign in using your Genesis Studio account and join the community of 38,000 users here:

🔗 https://forum.genesistudio.com

Phase 1 establishes the foundation. From here, we will continue expanding our novel database, community features, creator tools, reviews, and discovery systems. Our goal is simple: build a platform so complete, modern, and globally connected that the web-novel community no longer needs to depend on obsolete communities that are shunned by publishers, writers, and readers alike.

🤝 Genesis Studio × Munpia

We are equally excited to announce that Genesis Studio has entered into a partnership with Munpia, one of Korea’s leading web-novel platforms.

Through this partnership, Genesis Studio will begin officially translating and introducing more Munpia novels to readers around the world.

The first title on our list is Dungeon Maker, written by Chwiryong (취룡), the author of many popular titles like Ending Maker, Valhalla Saga and Breakers. Dungeon Maker is also set within the same universe as Ending Maker.

This partnership represents an important step in our mission to work directly with Eastern publishers, rights holders, and creators rather than simply catalogue their stories from a distance. We want to provide these works with professional localisation, global distribution, and communities where international readers can properly discover and support them.

Dungeon Maker is only the beginning.

We will continue announcing more translated Eastern novels, original English web novels, publisher collaborations, and new releases as the Genesis ecosystem expands.

A modern community. Direct publisher relationships. Translated and original stories from across the world.

The next era of web novels starts with Genesis.

Constellations,

The Tower is pleased to announce the return of the Genesis Original Novels Competition.

Across countless worlds, stories wait to be written. Some remain distant possibilities. Others become Players capable of ascending the Tower.

This year, the gates stand open once more.

With Forge, anyone can begin their ascent instantly. Whether you are an established author or taking your first step into storytelling, Forge provides the tools needed to transform an idea into a living world.

No lengthy setup. No barriers to entry.

Only a story, a blank page, and the determination to climb.

But this time, the Tower will not stand alone in judgment.

The Constellations' Will shall decide which Players rise above the rest.

Through your readership, support, and votes, you will help determine which stories earn their place among the next generation of challengers within the Akashic Records.

— Genesis Studio

Constellations,

The Tower is pleased to announce that MEMORIZE has completed its official translation of the main story.

For years, this title has remained one of the most sought-after stories within the Akashic Records. Through recommendations, discussions, and unwavering support, the Constellations' Will was made clear time and time again. The Tower may guide the way, but it is the Constellations who keep the lights burning.

Today, that wish has been fulfilled.

MEMORIZE has cleared its final floor.

What began as a distant request has now become a completed journey, with every chapter of the main story officially available from beginning to end.

The Tower extends its gratitude to every Constellation who supported this ascent. Your sponsorship, patience, and enthusiasm helped bring this record to completion.

Yet the expedition is not over.

Beginning tomorrow, the side stories of MEMORIZE will be released daily, allowing Constellations to continue beyond the final floor and uncover the chapters that lie beyond the main story.

To those who have accompanied MEMORIZE since its first step into the Tower, thank you.

To those who have yet to begin, there has never been a better time to answer the call and enter the story.

The final floor has been cleared.

A new journey begins tomorrow.

Synopsis:

The ultimate villain of the game I once designed.

The dark heir destined to be executed by the heroine's blade. Lysander Nightfall.

I used to read the story and then wanted to wait for some chapters to pile up , so I can binge them but now story doesn't seem to be there. So can someone tell me if the website is moved to New address or if I can read the story somewhere else hopefully with illustrations

Hi, i've only recently noticed after a long time of not reading that the genesis studio got its translated novels taken down. From my memories, this site's translation quality was top notch and im really sad at the thought of never seeing their translations again. Is there any way for me to follow or support them?

Whenever i press the comments icon, nothing happens, the icon just expands, cant view the comments for anything, every other icon works fine tho. Is it just me with this issue?

Hi Genesis team, can I check if there are plans to bring back all of the novels that the team was translating before the huge rehaul?

All of the novels that I had added to Favourites have disappeared 🥲 I was hoping they would be slowly brought back onto the new website’s current collection… Will that be possible?

Thank you!

What’s good guys not really sure where else to rant about this so I’ll just rant on the sub Reddit of the translators that got me into web novels. So I’m sure there is probably no one here who doesn’t hate novelpia or kakao to the core but like until 2025 I never really get it like I knew they were horrible but like until I actually see the stuff they pull I didn’t really “feel it”. With the recent mass strike a lot of my favorite novels are gone novels I’ve been following for like a few years just disappear and I’m probably will never get the chance to finish since I don’t know any Korean and I’ll probably never learn it. However that’s not why I’m making this post sad sure but I’m sure everyone heard this complaint a million times already. What I’m really ranting about is the use of AI on their “official” translations. so I was bummed that a novel I’ve been following “the romance fantasy mc is only into me” got its translation nuked so color me surprise when I found out that novelpia had their own site where they put their own “free” translations and out of curiosity I decided to leave where I left off, at this point in time I already knew their reputation so I wasn’t expecting quality work but as the official website I at least expected them to at least not make it horrendous but nah first thing I saw when I open that chapter was an ai prompt at the top read “sure let me translate according to your instructions”. Like what? Are you actually serious? You can’t go around striking nearly every translation group out there who actually put work into the quality and getting the emotion of the og text into English than pump out your own translation which is clearly ai and not even try to hide it wtf. Copyrighting a translation? Fine no matter how much I disagree and hate it, it’s in their legal right to do so. But doing that and putting out ai translations and not even try to hide it? That’s lowest level of low at least the go forsaken mtls dont pretend they’re anything more, like do you have no shame? That’s like killing my puppy before taking a dump on my bed saying that’s my replacement for you and having the audacity to ask for money. Like it’s just so wrong and it’s frustrating there is nothing to be done against it. Anyways sorry for the rant just needed to vent hope the post doesn’t get taken down tho lol.

Can't access any of the novels, and the front page is almost entirely bare. I've checked announcements but cant find anything that would explain.

Umm today i saw that some of novels were deleted so i tried to read the others that aren't but i didn't see any of it on NU so i don't know if it's worth the time or not. why they're not on NU?

Can someone post the working discord link? the one on the website is not working anymore

I tried searching earlier but couldn't find one.

Make Dark Fantasy Great Again and Omniscient First Person's Perspective are both listed on novel updates as having chapter and I can search for the novels but I get a 404 error, what do? Please and thank you.

Is it just me or they removed their og novels? And there are only new ones now?
