why aren't there more author vtubers? there are plenty of manga artists who are vtubers, but practically no novelists. would a vtuber company partnering with a book publisher to have novels written by their vtubers, or by ghost writers using their talent's names, be a good idea? is there a big enough chunk of vtuber fans who can read that this would be a worthwhile venture?

>>79776708if you want a real answer, it’s because the type of person who watches vtubers and reads books is probably an insane /lit/fag who only reads Flaubert and Balzac and Proust or some shit. You would need to be a really good author for them not to roast you, it can’t just be formulaic or even average
>>79779163>type of person who watches vtubers and reads books is probably an insane /lit/fagnah, it would be light novel fags who happily eat up dozens of volumes of a series just because there are cute girls on the cover.
>>79776708If you're good enough to be a novelist you're most likely not going to go into vtubing. You'll have too many bigger opportunities, like Hollywood for example.
>>79780680>If you're good enough to be a novelistThis isn't as high a bar as you think it is. Thousands of books are published every year that sell less than 100 copies. Doing vtubing could be absolutely beneficial to failed authors, just like it's been for failed singers or failer seiyuu.
