The World of Rebuild World: From Web Novel to Anime
Nahuse's Rebuild World began its journey as a web novel, captivating readers on the Shousetsuka ni Narou and Kakuyomu websites back in February 2017. Its immediate popularity paved the way for a print publication deal with Kadokawa, who began publishing it under their Dengeki no Shin Bungei imprint in May 2019. Illustrated by Gin, known for their work on Haibara-kun no Tsuyokute Seishun New Game, the light novel quickly amassed a significant following.
The series is a compelling blend of sci-fi action, set in a world where humanity strives to survive and thrive amidst the ruins of a technologically advanced past. Its intricate world-building, engaging characters, and thrilling plot have resonated with a broad audience, leading to an impressive cumulative 1.7 million copies of its volumes in print.

The manga offers another visual interpretation of Nahuse's world, with Kadokawa having released its 16th volume in July.
For international fans, J-Novel Club has played a crucial role in making Rebuild World accessible.
