Rather than building new worlds and characters from scratch, they are adapting web novels and webtoons that already have readers and fandoms to secure early users and ease marketing burdens. Nexon, Netmarble and Kakao Games are preparing new titles based on such IP, though the industry says strong execution still determines success.
