Informations

Banner

The banner represents your series throughout our platform. Choose an illustration that represents your series well!

Recommended size: 750 x 940px

Title

This is the title of your series. We recommend avoiding symbols and emoji in order to make your series easier to find (search) and thus improve its discoverability.

Type

Indicate how your series should generally be read. This does not affect the reading experience of your series. This setting must be selected for each publication individually (learn more here). Indicating a "type" here helps categorize your series and makes it easier for the reader to find series that match their preferences.

Webtoon = Strip ⬇  (Vertical Scroll from top to bottom)
Webcomic = Pages ➡  (Horizontal Scroll from left to right)
Manga = Pages ⬅  (Horizontal Scroll from right to left)
Novel = Text ⬇  (Vertical Scroll from top to bottom)

Language

Indicate the language in which you publish your series. This helps categorize your series and makes it easier for the reader to find series that match their preferences. 

Genre

Indicate at least one genre for your series. You can specify up to three (3) genres for your series. This allows you to be very precise in categorizing your series and allows readers to find a series that could really match their preferences.

Note: You need to select Genre#1 first to be able to select Genre#2, and then select Genre#2 to be able to select Genre#3. The same goes for deleting genres but in the reverse order. You need to delete Genre#3 before Genre#2, then Genre#2 before Genre#1.

Status

Indicate if you are still working on your series, if you are taking a break (hiatus) or if the series is completed.

Tags / Keywords

Add tags / keywords representing elements of your series. This allows to be ultra precise when a reader search for a series.

For example, if your series is about a knight betrayed by his own king, the keywords could be: "knight, king, kingdom, loyalty, loyal, betrayal, betrayed, battle, conflict, downfall, etc."

The words order doesn't matter. However, we recommend writing individual words and not groups of words. Each word must be separated by a comma and a space (, ).

Synopsis

What is happening in your series? Intrigue readers so that they want to discover what happens next!

Punchline

This is a short sentence that will be displayed on your series banner when your series is featured on the page "Discover".

Example:

Important

Agreement

You need to confirm that you agree to our "General Use Agreement" before submitting your series. This is the same agreement you agreed to when you created your account, but it is just a reminder to follow our terms and policies.

Mature themes or situations

You must check the box to this effect if your series contains themes or situations intended for an adult audience.

This will have an impact on the visibility of your series since it will not be displayed by default on the platform for readers if the option is activated. Only readers aged 18 and over will be able to activate this setting in their preferences to see your series in the results (Discover page and Search page).

Content generated by artificial intelligence (AI)

You must check the box to this effect if your series contains AI generated content. If you try to save and publish your series after checking this box, you will see an error message saying that this type of content is not allowed on YURAI.

If you don't check this box and your series contains AI generated content, that would mean you didn't follow our General Use Agreement and your series will be deleted. Your account could also have its permission to post content removed or even be suspended. Please read our terms and policies to learn more.

After completing the form

Preview

Once the form is completed, you can preview your series page by pressing the "Preview" button at the bottom of the form.

Visibility

You can select wether your series should be private (Draft) or public (Published). We suggest leaving your series in "Draft" as long as you have not yet uploaded an episode / chapter.

Now that your series is created on YURAI, it is now time to prepare your files for the publication of your episode or chapter! To do this, we invite you to read this article: Prepare your files and folders for publication

If your files are already correctly exported, you can immediately read the article explaining: How to upload an episode or chapter on YURAI
