My Role
UX Researcher and UX Designer
I worked on the features below:
I worked on developing several features for Comico. These include Gacha, Hashtag Recommendation, Ecomic, Rental Pass, Comico Indo-Novel Challenge, and Comico Tap.
Hashtag Recommendation Feature:
Based on the user survey, we discovered the voice of the users:
1. Most obviously, I know what to expect
2. I don’t have to think. Someone else put it together for me
3. Knows me based on my reading
4. What does everyone else like
5. Read something new
The results highlighted that we asked ourself
How can we simplify the process for users to select their preferred manga genre?
We need to explore various ways to streamline the user experience when it comes to selecting their preferred manga genre.
One approach could be to create something that allows users to easily browse through different genres and sub-genres, providing them with detailed information about each one.
The second option is to incorporate personalized recommendations based on the user's reading history and preferences. We can suggest genres that they are more likely to enjoy, making it easier for them to discover new manga titles.
Solution
We developed genre hashtag recommendations on the home screen to help the user easily pick manga based on gender and age.
Our solution provides users with an intuitive and streamlined experience when it comes to selecting their preferred manga genre. By incorporating genre hashtag recommendations on the home screen, users can quickly and easily find the genre they are interested in without having to spend time browsing through numerous titles.
Our genre hashtag recommendations are prominently displayed on the home screen, ensuring that users can easily find the genre they are interested in.

Gacha Event Feature:
The Gacha Event Feature is a highly anticipated aspect of the game that allows players to obtain rare and unique items in regular gameplay. By participating in the event, players have the opportunity to earn event-exclusive rewards that are not available at any other time.
Besides that, players are able to use in-game currency, which can be earned through regular gameplay or purchased with real money, to pull from a special pool of items. With the Gacha Event Feature, players have an exciting new way to engage with the game and expand their collections.

Comico Indo: Novel Challenge
Project Overview
The Comico Indo-Novel Challenge is a feature designed to provide a platform for writers to upload their novels and share them with a large number of readers. Our service offers a stable amount of readers and approaches, which means even non-professional writers can spread their work.
The primary goal of this feature is to create a space where writers can share their work with others. By allowing writers to upload their novels, we enable them to reach a broader audience and receive valuable feedback, which can help them improve their works.
In addition to offering a platform for writers, we also offer rewards for the best-performing novels. If a writer's novel receives a high number of likes and views, they can receive rewards from us. We also offer the opportunity for writers to sign a copyrights contract with us if their novel is in the top "best challenge."
Pros
Comico is the platform for aspiring writers to showcase their work and interact with readers. Our rewards program and copyrights contract offer additional incentives for writers to achieve their goals.
One of the benefits of participating in the Comico Indo-Novel Challenge is the opportunity for writers to sign a copyright contract with us if their novel reaches the top of the "best challenge."
This means that writers who have their work recognized and appreciated by our readers have the chance to secure a formal agreement with Comico, which can provide them with financial and legal protection for their intellectual property. It's a great incentive for aspiring writers to put in their best work and strive to create compelling stories that resonate with our audience.
