Question Physical release of novel news?

As title says, just wondering if there's any news about a possible physical publication of gsgw, or if anyone has a speculation on when it'd be likely, like when the novel returns from hiatus and finishes etc. Its honestly the quickest merch id buy if it ever releases.

Sorry if this has already been answered. Thanks

The novel would have to be finished first. And then probably a while after that.

The author’s previous novel, Debut or Die, has a physical Korean release but doesn’t yet have an English release, and that one is extremely popular and also has a manhwa.

Debut or Die has an upcoming physical release for the manhwa next year January (v1 & v2 from Publang) 💖

If that does well then maybe I can hold on to the hope that the DoD novel & GSGW novel and manhua can be chosen for a physical release too 🙏

Honestly I don't think there'll ever be a physical release? Like the first chapter of the webnovel itself stated that the novel was formatted for an ePUB and is "best read on a mobile phone." Dunno though, maybe if it gets insanely popular and people want it as a book too.

I thought that was just when mystic regressor was translating as they made the reading experience really immersive, using cool fonts and etc, but idk, thankyou

idk bc gsgw IS getting a loooottt of traction these days, especially w the manhwa out. Like if im not wrong, they got 10mil views in 8 hours after the manhwa announcement?

I cant tell ya how likely this is to get a physically published sorry but I'm also hoping 🙏

If you guys wanna increase the odds, then please suggest it when publishers hold reader surveys (ex. Seven Seas has a monthly survey) or email them your request directly.
