### Dataset Summary

Syosetu711K is a dataset composed of approximately 711,700 novels scraped from the Japanese novel self-publishing
website Syosetuka ni Narou (JA: 小説家になろう, lit. "Let's Become a Novelist") between March 26 and March 27, 2023.
The dataset contains most if not all novels published on the site, regardless of length or quality; however, we
include metadata so users of this dataset can filter and evaluate its contents.

Syosetu711Kは、日本の小説投稿サイト「小説家になろう」から2023年3月26日から27日にかけてスクレイプされた約711,700冊の小説から
構成されるデータセットです。このデータセットには、長さや品質に関係なく、サイトに掲載されているほとんどの小説が含まれています。ただし、
各小説のIDも含まれているため、小説家になろうAPIを使ってその情報を検索することができます。

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

This dataset is primarily intended for unsupervised training of text generation models; however, it may be useful for other purposes.

### Data Splits

No splitting of the data was performed.

## Dataset Creation

### Curation Rationale

Syosetuka ni Narou is the most popular website in Japan for authors wishing to self-publish their novels online. Many works on
the site been picked up by large commercial publishers. Because of this, we believe that this dataset provides a large corpus
of high-quality, creative content in the Japanese language.

### Source Data

#### Initial Data Collection and Normalization

*More information about any referenced scripts, commands, or programs used may be found in the BigKnow2022 GitHub repository.*

First, metadata for all novels on the site was gathered into a JSON lines (JSONL) file. The Syosetuka ni Narou API was used to
obtain this information.

Second, this listing was used to create a secondary text file containing a list of only the novel "ncodes," or IDs. This
secondary file was distributed to downloader nodes.

Third, the sister site <https://pdfnovels.net> was queried with each novel ID, and the resulting PDF was saved for later processing.

Fourth, the `pdftotext` tool was used to convert the PDF files to text documents. A few other scripts were then used to clean up
the resulting text files.

Finally, the text files and other metadata were converted into the specified data field schema above, and the resulting JSON entries
were concatenated into the Syosetu711K dataset. The version uploaded to this repository, however, is split into multiple files,
numbered 00 through 20 inclusive.

#### Who are the source language producers?

The authors of each novel.

### Annotations

#### Annotation process

Titles and general genre were collected alongside the novel text and IDs.

#### Who are the annotators?

There were no human annotators.

### Personal and Sensitive Information

The dataset contains only works of fiction, and we do not believe it contains any PII.

## Considerations for Using the Data

### Social Impact of Dataset

This dataset is intended to be useful for anyone who wishes to train a model to generate "more entertaining" content in Japanese.
It may also be useful for other languages depending on your language model.

### Discussion of Biases

This dataset is composed of fictional works by various authors. Because of this fact, the contents of this dataset will reflect
the biases of those authors. **Additionally, this dataset contains NSFW material and was not filtered. Beware of stereotypes.**

### Other Known Limitations

N/A

## Additional Information

### Dataset Curators

### Licensing Information

distributed under fair use principles.
