This webtoon dataset offers a rich collection of information on digital comics, primarily sourced from Naver Webtoon and Naver Best Challenge. It includes over 2,100 unique webtoons serialised on Naver Webtoon and over 3,100 records from Naver Best Challenge. The dataset was last updated on 31 December 2022, with new webtoons added and duplicate entries fixed for the challenge dataset. It provides a detailed look into entertainment and media consumption, making it valuable for a variety of analytical and machine learning applications.
Columns
The primary webtoon dataset (e.g.,
naver.csv) includes the following columns:- id: A unique identifier for each webtoon.
- title: The name of the webtoon.
- author: The writer of the webtoon.
- genre: The style or category of the webtoon.
- description: An introduction or summary of the webtoon's content.
- rating: An average rating for the webtoon, typically out of 10.
- date: The most recent update date for the webtoon.
- completed: Indicates the completion status of the webtoon (e.g., true/false).
- age: The recommended age for viewing the webtoon.
- free: Denotes the availability of a free service event, such as "wait for free" (기다리면 무료).
- link: A direct link to the webtoon.
The Naver Best Challenge dataset (
naver_challenge.csv) contains similar columns but with some variations, including summary, format, serialize (whether officially serialised on Naver), and potenup (if chosen as potential up).Distribution
This dataset is typically provided in a CSV format and is structured into two main files:
naver.csv for webtoons serialised on Naver Webtoon, and naver_challenge.csv for webtoons from Naver Best Challenge. The collection features more than 1,850 cartoons in total, with over 2,100 unique webtoons in the main dataset and over 3,100 records in the challenge dataset. Specific numbers for total rows/records are detailed for various categories like label counts (e.g., 15.4k to 804k for some labels) and boolean counts for completion status (e.g., 1,406 true, 694 false).Usage
This dataset is ideal for:
- Building recommender systems for digital comics and webtoons.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, such as content analysis of descriptions and titles.
