## Publishing

Taesun originally self-published several chapters of a web novel titled *Chiteura - Yongsareul Ppomneun Yeobaekjak* (치트라 - 용사를 뽑는 여백작, lit.: *"Chitra - the countess who chooses heroes"*, *"Chitra - the countess who chooses* *warriors"*) in a web novel platform *Joara* from January 23 to November 14, 2017.

From November 24, 2017 to May 30, 2019, a publishing company Samyang Ssiaenssi (삼양씨앤씨), under their Fioret (피오렛) imprint, published Taesun's completed 10-volume web novel titled *Chiteura - Minameul Ppomneun Yeobaekjak* (치트라 - 미남을 뽑는 여백작, lit.: *"Chitra - the countess who chooses handsome men"*) in a digital comic and fiction platform KakaoPage, so Taesun removed this web novel from Joara on December 4, 2017. On May 25, 2020, Samyang Ssiaenssi, under their Fioret imprint, published this web novel as an e-book (EPUB) titled *Chitra* (치트라, *Chiteura*), and during 2020, this e-book began to be sold in several web novel platforms and online bookstores.

On August 4, 2022, a publishing company Golem Factory (고렘팩토리) re-released this novel as a web novel in KakaoPage and an e-book.

On November 30, 2018, Samyang Ssiaenssi, under their Dreamtoon (드림툰) imprint, began publishing a webtoon adaptation titled *Chitra* (치트라, *Chiteura*) illustrated by Reffe (Leppe) in KakaoPage. Dreamtoon is also publishing this webtoon in a digital comic platform Kakao Webtoon starting December 1, 2018. In South Korea, the *Chitra* web novel is intended for readers aged 15 and over, but the *Chitra* webtoon is suitable for all ages.

## Other Information

### Trivia

* The *Chitra* webnovel is Taeseon's tenth official novel and second reverse harem novel. Her previous official novels are shounen novels *Game Master Mion* (GM미온, paperback – 2006), *Deadline of Silver* (은의 사선, paperback – 2007, webnovel – 2019), *Dynamite* (다이너마이트, paperback – 2007), *Thanatos* (타나토스, paperback – 2008), *Dusk Howler* (더스크 하울러, paperback – 2009, webnovel – 2014), *Hwansuui Juin* (환수의 주인, *"The owner of the illusionary beast"*, paperback – 2010) and *Dusk Howler 2* (더스크 하울러 2 부, webnovel – 2015), a josei novel (shounen with BL harem) *Sillyongui Juin* (신룡의 주인, *"The owner of the divine dragon"*, *"The Dragon Master"*, paperback – 2011, webnovel – 2015), and reverse harem novel *Sinsuui Juin* (신수의 주인, *"The owner of the divine beast"*, *"Master of the Divine Beasts"*, *"Fortune Master"*, webnovel – 2016, paperback – 2017).
	+ When Taeseon started writing the *Chitra* novel, she wanted to write a romance fantasy novel, so the cover of the *Chitra* novel on *Joara* has the inscription "ROMANCE FANTASY STORY". However, she ended up with a kingdom building fantasy novel, not a romance fantasy novel, which is why the cover of *Chitra* novel on *KakaoPage* doesn't say "ROMANCE FANTASY STORY". But online stores sell the *Chitra* novel in the *Romance Fantasy* section because the female protagonist of this book is in a sexual relationship with 11 men.
	+ Korean readers jokingly say that Taeseon's action novels *Dusk Howler* (mixed gender harem) and *Dusk Howler 2* (mixed gender harem) are romance novels that have romantic feelings, while Taeseon's reverse harem novels *The owner of the divine beast* and *Chitra* are pseudo-romance novels that do not have romantic feelings.
* In November 2017, a neuroma on the index finger of Taeseon's left hand was successfully removed. While she was in the hospital waiting for this operation to begin, she began to mentally create the wuxia novel *Doctor's Rebirth* to distract herself from her unpleasant thoughts. Her hand was cured and she returned home, but she continued to write the *Chitra* novel, and she postponed the wuxia novel until later, because she began working on the *Chitra* novel even before she got to the hospital, and readers were waiting for her new chapters of the *Chitra* novel. Her novel *Doctor's Rebirth* began publishing on *KakaoPage* in 2020.
