For a novel that was still being serialized, it was not possible to write a second doujin novel. For example, I wrote it when Dragon Blood God of War was still being serialized.

Was the doujinshi of the Dragon Blood War God considered as a copyright violation?

Answer 1

It's not impossible to write a second doujinshi novel that is still being serialized, but you need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Respect the copyright of the original work: Unauthorized continuation, adaptation, or creation of works related to the original work may violate the copyright of the original work. Therefore, before creating a second doujinshi, one needed to first obtain the authorization of the copyright owner of the original work.

2. To avoid destroying the story structure of the original work: When creating a second doujin novel, you need to avoid destroying the story structure, character relationships, or depth of the theme of the original work. Otherwise, it may cause the readers to be disgusted or dissatisfied with the original work.

3. Maintain the connection with the original work: The second doujin novel needs to maintain the connection with the original work, such as the storyline, character setting, or theme. This would make it easier for readers to accept and appreciate the work.

Doujinshi novels could be created, but they had to pay attention to copyright issues and avoid destroying the story structure of the original work in order to obtain better creative effects and reader feedback.
