[100 Million Funding Club] "The Video Game Guardians," which reached 490 million in sales with the standalone volume readers had been eagerly awaiting
Updated: November 2, 2026
Webtoon Electronic Entertainment Guard, whose publication was suspended after five books in 2018. Wadiz collected nearly 500 million won in the complete edition of the 265 episodes in 10 volumes, up to the episode, which was not published in a book at the time. What stands out in particular is that about 70% of the payment came to supporters who applied for notification during the scheduled opening period. In this 100 million funding club, we will look at the strategy of Nova Comics, which connects notification applications to actual funding participation and continues its firepower to the end of funding by adding benefits as the number of participants increases.

Reason for Success 1. Make Your Long-awaited Needs a Product
Electronic Entertainment Guard is a webcomic that was serialized from 2014 to 2021. The book came out in 2018, but it stopped in the fifth volume. Only about a quarter of the 265 episodes came out in paper books. There were long unfilled vacancies for readers who wanted to keep their entire work in books.
Novakomics has introduced a long-awaited complete version of its readership. From the first line of the reward description, he emphasized that it is the complete version that readers have been waiting for, putting forward "the first full edition of the seven-year series" and "the full 265 episodes."

Reasons for success 2. Reflect supporters' opinions before opening into rewards
When we started the scheduled opening, the community received over 70 posts in the first eight days. In particular, there were many opinions about the price and reward composition. The first composition released was 6 books, about 664 pages per book and 270,000 won for a book set, and the book case and character card were paid separately. The supporters left detailed opinions ranging from the price per copy to the composition of the book case, the additional amount of autographs, and the main paper.
Novakomics first explained the pricing criteria with the new news. And a week before the opening, I changed the composition of the reward as below to reflect some of the supporters' opinions.
- Volume 6 → 10, adjusted to around 400 pages per volume
- Bookcase, which was a paid sale, is provided free of charge to funding participants
- Increase handwritten autographs from 500 sets to 1,000 sets, and unify them at the same price as full sets of the same configuration
The community atmosphere has changed since the announcement of the change. As there were many fans who waited for a long time, I couldn't reflect all the opinions, but Novakomics tried to create a reward that the supporters could be satisfied with.
💬: I'm glad that many opinions from supporters have been coordinated as much as possible. I don't think it was easy to coordinate what was already set, but thank you for reflecting it like this.

Reasons for Success 3. Connecting Notification Application to Payment
Novakomics conducted the notification application event in connection with funding participation. Furthermore, as an open benefit, 1,000 sets of limited handwritten autographs have been added. The fixed number of rewards has become a powerful device to make payments on the first day of opening. As a result, there were 4.6,000 notification applicants for Novakomics, and about 70% of the payment came from supporters who applied for notification. Within an hour of opening, we gathered up to about 60% of the recruitment amount.

Reasons for Success 4. Creating a structure that benefits more as you participate
Novakomics has prepared achievement-type perks that increase the rewards of all supporters as the number of funding participants increases, so that the firepower continues. It was a method of increasing one character bookmark for every 500 final participants and giving all six types to 2,500 people. As the number of participants increases, the benefits everyone receives increase, so supporters have a reason to inform their surroundings of the project. As a result, the goal of 2,500 people was achieved four days after the opening, and we continued to create a reason for participation with new events until the end of funding.

📌 One must-have item from the 100 million funding club
Take advantage of the event that benefits as more funding participants increase
Novakomics set step-by-step participation goals, and provided additional benefits to everyone whenever they achieved them. If you want to continue to lead participation during the funding period, design the achievable goals and the benefits that come with them. In the process of supporters filling their goals together, it can lead to natural sharing and new participation.
Wadiz TIP Please keep me updated on the status of achieving your goals with the news. If you have prepared benefits according to the number of participants, keep up with the current achievement status and next goal. New supporters can give the impression that it is a "project in the spotlight right now," and existing supporters can give reasons to share around them. |

frequently asked questions
Can Wadiz also proceed with projects using IP?
Yes, it's possible. Books, goods, and collaboration products using IP such as webtoons, games, and characters can also be funded by Wadiz. The complete edition of the Electronic Entertainment Guard also incorporated the original webtoon into a book, and the author's autographed copy and new illustration frame were composed of rewards. However, when using IP, you need to secure the right to use it with the original author or the rights company in advance.
How many rewards are appropriate?
The average number of rewards for successful projects collected over 10 million won is 6 to 8. Even if there is only one representative product, you can make more than six by using early bird, package, and set composition. What is more important than the number of rewards is whether the rewards from low to high prices have been placed like a ladder, centering on the core rewards (7,000 won to 150,000 won).
What benefits should I give to the notification applicant?
It's good to give benefits related to the project. The complete edition of the Electronic Entertainment Guard has prepared a Wadiz limited non-sale card containing the character of the work. At this time, rather than giving the benefits only by applying for notification, if you put the condition of "participation in main funding after applying for notification," it can lead to actual payment. In this project too, about 70% of the payment came from supporters who applied for notification.
