[@Ernie_Creates]

Will you please reconsider merch. There isn’t enough monster tamer merch.

[@weirdomon]

Congratulations Bro! Its been a pleasure working with you! 🙌

[@Thomas-db1zx]

I sent u a message on your twitter

[@NekoValtz]

0:05 ah yes. I remember that episode of card captor Sakura when Sakura wished to confess her love. Syaoran stopping her as she understood what she had to do, holding her wand high and shouting the magic words "LET IT RIP!!!"

[@thedigiknow]

Same that was an all time fav

[@Ernie_Creates]

Congratulations!!! I will definitely read it!

[@thedigiknow]

Thanks so much! I hope you do, and that you dig it :]

[@Ernie_Creates]

@@thedigiknowit’s out for delivery right now. I had to get a physical copy. Please consider t shirts or hoodies 😂

[@IaMShadows1]

Congratulations!! I can’t wait to start following this story!

[@LynkCableTv]

It’s really cool hearing more about your IRL job and the journey you’ve been on, I cannot wait to check out your own monster series :)

[@thedigiknow]

Thanks so much! I'm fairly secretive here on YT but I felt it was important to open up before asking people to support :)

[@LynkCableTv]

@ I totally understand dude and appreciate your honesty, I’ve just finished reading the prologue and you’ve nailed the vibe and setup you’d expect from an early 2000s series! Excited to read more of it + I’ve now subbed to your other channel :)

[@georgesagris3508]

Not only was it so cool to hear about your own work origins, but also that you've been working on this project as you've been making videos the whole time! It's very much up your alley and I can't wait to read it. I always look forward to whenever you post (and secretly hope you eventually do it more) and I like and comment on your vids to show support!

[@thedigiknow]

Thank you so much! Yes, I've truly been chipping away at this for as long as I've been making videos on TheDigiKnow. :) The good news for you -- if you wish for more videos -- is now that the book is out I'M FREE to work on more videos hahaha. I'm going to take it easy since it's December and the year is almost over, but I have 3 vids planned for December still. Then January more videos will come now that I'm unburdened and no longer writing a novel LOL

[@georgesagris3508]

A very cool insight into your life, and good to know you have more time! I always hope your channel blows up, so Digimon can be more mainstream and because you deserve it. As someone who's also writing a novel, I can relate to the time it takes. Hope you get a break over the holiday period and that 2025 goes well!

[@valeereon9954]

Okay I got real excited by the title of the vid at first - thinking a new series of digimon anime was coming out or something lol. BUT! This is just as cool, if not cooler!! I'm definitely going to be ordering a copy whenever I get home today! Congrats on all your hard work man!

[@thedigiknow]

Thank you and sorry that the title was a little bit cheeky. I knew that viewers of this channel would be interested IF they watched the video, but nobody is going to click on a video titled "i wrote a book" haha

[@BarrakiOfToa]

This sounds awesome. I'm looking forward to checking out this project, and I hope we can see more from you later on. Congrats, man!

[@thedigiknow]

Thank you so much!! I genuinely think that people who like what I have to say about Digimon, Monster Rancher etc on KZbin will enjoy this. It's my dream monster tamer story.

[@spacechase1247]

Just Purchased, it'll be here Tuesday! I can't wait!

[@thedigiknow]

That's so awesome! I'm really happy with the physical copy. So surreal it's finally out. Thank you thank you & enjoy!

[@abdullahahmed3406]

I’ve only recently found your channel but I definitely enjoy it as a someone who loves digimon and all these kind of series I thank you for giving us something new and fresh can’t wait to check it out. Congrats 🎉

[@thedigiknow]

Thank you so much :') Meant to reply sooner but I've been sick for a few days. All these positive messages are definitely making me feel better!

[@ReliousFlareStar]

Let's goooooo!

[@liamLAMA]

This was such a fun and exciting reveal! Not just for the novel but for you telling us what you do for a living. I love how you don’t do merch or any forced content. The fact that everything you do for the channel is a passion project really shows and I hope you keep running it this way as it is so refreshing. Will definitely get the book AND check out the games and other stuff you’ve worked on! 👍

[@thedigiknow]

:’) Thank you so much~

[@CreativeSteve69]

holy crap this is massive news. Huge Congrats on making a manga DigiKnow. After hearing the concept I am definitely going to be giving it a read when I'm on Christmas break from college for sure which is approaching soon for me yay. Hearing this is kindof inspiring me to give a writing class a try next semester at college possibly to up my writing skills lv. honestly. Which is something I always wanted to work on.

[@thedigiknow]

Thanks so much!! I hope you enjoy! Just to clarify, it is a novel and not a manga. The art you see in the video is for promotion online. I wish I was able to produce a manga! Maybe one day. :) I hope you get to try a writing class at college!!

[@midnight1978]

Monster Taming Game Adaption when? That sounds pretty cool tho!

[@thedigiknow]

That would be awesome haha. At one point I convinced myself this would be a pixel RPG but I realized if there was any hope of ACTUALLY finishing it, I would need to do a book. Start with the thing I can actually make, then see what happens!

[@Berdomlikesgames]

Congratulations on putting out your book! Even ignoring the fact I want to support the channel, I fully intend on getting the paperback version here soon, it sounds right up my alley!

[@thedigiknow]

Awesome! Thanks for wanting to support the videos AND wanting to read the book, hehe.

[@ikai21]

Glad to see you move up in life!

[@thedigiknow]

Thanks so much! Nothing's changing with KZbin, but I wanted to finally share this story with you all.

[@hikupptheoverthinker]

Always love seeing writers creating stuff based on their favorite things growing up. Its also what drives me, so I'm excited to get my hands on a copy of this.

[@thedigiknow]

Yes!! It's totally that. I love how Ninja Turtles fans are now the ones MAKING tmnt movies & shows, how kids who drew up on Dragon Ball are now animating Dragon Ball Daima. I'm not on that level, but this is my love letter to the millennium era monster stories & my version of it :)

[@hikupptheoverthinker]

@thedigiknow yeah it really keeps me hopeful for the future of storytelling. Passing the torch and evolving with each generation.

[@b1ake__]

Man this is awesome. Been following since the channel launch in the Covid days, so cool to know you’ve been working on your own story this whole time. Congratulations

[@thedigiknow]

Thanks for sticking around this whole time :)

[@AlexCaste]

So cool - It's great to hear a little about your background in games and writing! I'll pick this up now and give it a shot. I wish I had the skills to write something like this. Good on ya!

[@NeeldTheMaster]

Holy crap your irl life is super cool! I’ve been watching since the kizuna video cause I couldn’t find anyone talk about it. I’m a hobby indie developer but I probably can’t do it full time because I’m also a pre med student in college, but one day I’m hoping to write a game inspired by monster tamers and other influences too. Good luck dude!

[@thedigiknow]

Pre med!! That's so cool. We need more folks like you! Hobbyist indie dev too? That rules. At one point in time I was convinced this project could be a pixel JRPG (if you read it, I think you'lll see some game structure DNA). But I decided that if I ever wanted to release it, I should do it in book form, instead of dreaming of a game I couldn't make alone.

[@NeeldTheMaster]

@ awesome I definitely look for those little nods ha ha. You probably know better than anyone how hard making a game by yourself, being in the industry, kudos on having a finished product to share!

[@gomesbandrey]

CONGRATULATIONS, SIR!!!! Looking forward to reading it

[@cynder2210]

Already got my purchase, can't wait to give it a read and be able to support the channel!

[@thedigiknow]

Thank you!! You're definitely supporting the channel (and my dreams) with the purchase. I hope you enjoy the story :)

[@weebmeister-harry]

Congrats man so happy for u, I’ll definitely check it and let u know my thoughts.

[@gammafrost107]

I've been working on my own monster collector series called Crusaders of Monsters. I made eight volumes and a spin-off one shot with a ninth volume currently on the works. I'll link a playlist of all of the volumes in a comment.

[@deepankardhar1821]

Please share , we’ll read

[@Malychyte]

I wish you didn't even have to justify why you deserve to write this, I can't wait to read this and appreciate your work and dedication! As an aspiring writer myself, I vibe so hard with this and hope this motivates you to continue doing amazing things! It inspires me, thank you!

[@thedigiknow]

Thanks for saying that! I thought it was worth being transparent about who I am and what I’ve worked on, but I know what you mean!

[@staveken]

Hey I've been a big fan of the channel since 2020, just commenting to let you know that I bought a physical copy of the book and look forward to reading it asap

[@thedigiknow]

Awesome!!! Thanks for watching for all these years and picking it up I hope you love it!

[@alontethompson2453]

This is an awesome read, I swear. It brought back all those childhood memories of the monster tamer crazy back in the 90's. I'm hoping this gets to be a series of books or maybe manga or even an anime someday!!!

[@SergirothGames]

You’ve just made my day! I didn’t know you were an author outside of KZbin, but it makes a lot of sense, considering your deeper analysis and quality of your videos. I’m buying your story right now! I’m not into buying merch, but a book is a different story (pun unintended)💪 PS: I wish there’s more coming in the future.

[@thedigiknow]

Thanks so much!! "I’m not into buying merch, but a book is a different story" Yeah, no disrespect to channels that do it, but I was not interested in selling TheDigiKnow t-shirts or stickers or anything. But I thought I could tell you all about this 200+ page book I wrote, and if you want to consider it TheDigiKnow 'merch' then you can!

[@Flachutarifan64]

As a writer of fan content myself, I NEED TO BUY A PHYSICAL COPY ASAP!!!!

[@schufck5272]

Nice. And sounds pretty interesting to boot.

[@radioactivebirdj.1845]

I'M CRYING THIS BRO REALLY SAID "F★CK IT, IMMA START MAKING THESE MYSELF" AND ACTUALLY PULLED IT OFF 😭😭😭

[@thedigiknow]

Hahaha “I’ll do it myself” I’ve really been working on it on & off since 2020 but decided this was the year I needed to finish and release it :) Super proud of it!

[@Simpin4Mal]

This is so exciting! Congrats and thank you, Brother! 🎉

[@thedigiknow]

Thanks so much! So excited to finally talk about it ...and release it!

Thanks a million! I'm so happy with the positive reception and support from y'all so far :)

[@vongolafamiglia3233]

Congrats on your book! I want to read it! And thanks for the inspiration to keep pursuing my writing journey. I also published a book and struggled with marketing it. Seeing you do your thing gave me more confidence to market mine.

[@thedigiknow]

That's awesome! Thanks for your kind words, and very nice to hear that this helped you keep pushing! In the acknowledgements section at the end of the book I wrote something like To animators, musicians, visual artists, and storytellers everywhere. Thank you. Please don’t stop." Please don't stop!!

[@JijimonVlogs]

Wow, congrats! It's not often you see a monster taming novel. I just ordered a copy and I'm looking forward to reading!

[@thedigiknow]

Thank you so much! I'm blown away by the support so far. Enjoy! I hope you enjoy the story :]

[@ricardocarmona9514]

Okay, officially my first book bought to read on Kindle. I truly appreciate your content and sure want to see what you have to offer as a writer in the genre! I'll be sure to leave my review about the book. Thanks for your effort with the channel 😊

[@thedigiknow]

Wow! Thank you so much, that's so kind and exciting! I appreciate your trust and hope you enjoy :)

[@orvillewright9246]

I wish you luck. I, too, am a writer, and I will keep your book in mind.

[@josephbleeker7581]

@@thedigiknowso far a few chapters in and would love a manga alongside this. Amazing concept. I could see this being pushed into a cartoon/anime after a manga for sure

[@jamespierce9815]

Bought the paperback! This is definitely something I'm into and have been looking for more of. Also, nice resume, dude. Totally caught me off guard. Gonna share this with my friends!

[@thedigiknow]

That's awesome :) Thanks a million. Apparently at this moment in time the paperback/ebook split is about 50/50!

This is an amazing and inspiring video, so cool to hear your passion project come to fruition. Hope to read this soon and maybe even see more from you in the future!

[@thedigiknow]

Thanks for the kind words! That means a lot. I have been working on this for YEARS, maybe twenty minutes a night all while making weekly vids for TheDigiKnow. Needless to say, my brain is full of monster thoughts haha

[@DuskWolf99]

This is awesome! Congrats! I will be buying this. Looks great.

[@thedigiknow]

Thanks for the kinds words! I hope you enjoy - it's made with my KZbin audience in mind: folks who grew up loving Digimon, Beyblade, Medabots, and all the monster shows & games from childhood!

[@overlordlaharlyun5444]

Congrats man

[@HasifRayyan]

Fellow novelist here! 😆 Congrats for your novel! I'm looking forward to buying it!

This is amazing! Congrats on the published work.

[@thedigiknow]

Thanks for the kind words and support :)

[@CD-Gaming]

All that Digimon Lore I caught up on in 2020 and your channel was a big part of that, I will definitely look to pick this up and maybe even do a Quick Book Review! Once I actually work out exactly what format I want to go with for that, that is... But, I am in the UK and would prefer a physical copy, I will keep an eye out on Amazon, though! I'm going to be buying a fair bit soon to hopefully help expand my channel, take my Let's Plays to a whole new level and hopefully reach a new audience! Hopefully!

[@thedigiknow]

Wow what a nice comment! I am so glad to hear you watched my 2020 videos. Even back then I was working on this story...even if it was only 10 or 15 minutes a night before bed!

[@CD-Gaming]

@@thedigiknow It jus came into my feed, it all started when the identities of the other Demon Lords was bugging the hell out of me (no pun intended) and then Karn EX came along and I realised there was another movie, another series after Appmon... man, was I behind...

[@Cpt_crabhammer]

Dude, this is super cool! I'll definitely pick up a physical copy.

Congratulations on completing your book! The designs are really cool! Maybe you can do a video on them. 👍 P.S., You should to a video with Gym Leader Ed.

[@LacertaZilla2024]

Now this is awesome. I’ll definitely read it. After I finish This book series that I’m currently on.

[@lorimartin6819]

Hey this looks really cool! The monsters look weird and cool. I love the fighting green dog and the bird!

[@thedigiknow]

Thanks! I worked with Weirdomon, who has made several 'what if' digimon designs for KARN EX to design these new monsters! I think Weirdomon did an incredible job.

Just bought it - This is exactly the time of book I’ve been looking for so thank you for taking the time to make it

[@thedigiknow]

Yippee!! Thank you for supporting, and please enjoy!

[@viewsandrates]

I like the monster designs! I'm curious though, did you make all the human main characters female??.. That's definitely a choice 😅 Obviously that shouldn't matter too much for the story quality. But like, knowing people, you may have capped your potential reach quite a significant bit.

[@thedigiknow]

There are several male characters (heroes and villains) but I had a limited budget for art commissions . So I elected to get illustrations made for these characters. The lead is female! Part of that decision comes from subverting tropes from Digimon. There are a lot of cool female leaders in Digimon comics, games etc but never in anime

[@Tyler2Foster]

Holy what an awesome announcement

[@daltonhouse7223]

Purchased. Will be a bit before I can read it, but will definitely let you know!

[@thedigiknow]

Thank you so much! No rush, I hope you enjoy :] It really is my take on the Digimon / Monster Rancher / Medabots stories from our childhoods!

[@PC2000]

Oh boy, I love the idea of a Digimon- and other mon series-inspired original novel, especially by someone who gets why Digimon is so great. Gonna pick up a copy!

This is the perfect news thanks DigiKnow can't wait to read!

[@thedigiknow]

Thanks for your interest! I am so happy people are excited :)

[@andifep]

Congratulations! Happy to hear you've been doing well. I do want to ask if book only features the 3 heroines as main focus or is there also a boy who perhaps goes through the adventure as well?

[@thedigiknow]

Yeah good question! I could only commission so much art but it is NOT an all girl story or anything like that. There are more characters in the main cast with Partner Programs of their own, and two of them are boys.

[@HootingLance]

Congrats on the book! That's a huge achievement. I'll Def give it a go

Thats so amazing! I'll definitely buy a copy! Any ideas for an audiobook yet? I absorb info better through sound so I'd like to buy a physical copy and an audio copy if possible!

[@thedigiknow]

Thank you so much! An audio book version is my DREAM. It is extremely costly to hire a narrator / voice actor and pay them at a fair rate. I don't have the budget / funds at the moment, but if the book does ok in the first few weeks, and people like the story, I will SERIOUSLY consider making it happen in 2025!

Bold to advertise reading to the fandom that can't read(see : Survive), but honestly congratulations! Writing takes work and I'm happy to see you complete a project like this.

[@thedigiknow]

Haha thanks! It was funny, when Digimon announced the web novel SEEKERS and then the web comic LIBERATOR I was like "oh crap I need to get MY written story out ASAP!" I have been working on this since 2020, ideating since 2018 honestly

[@axels3188]

Congrats Digi!

[@shannonmartin1247]

Wow, this looks really cool, really proud of you man! I just looked at the Amazon page, might just buy it for Christmas. By the way, you name is CJ? I thought I've seen people call you Corey, unless it's Corey Jr, or something. Sorry, just found that interesting.

Thanks!! I go by Corey 99% of the time but I thought CJ would be kinda funny for the book, like RL Stein or other writers you whose initials for their “pen name”

Congrats on your book release! Weird question, is it / will it be available outside of Amazon? Trying to ween myself off of supporting Bezos as much as I can. :P

[@thedigiknow]

Honestly, incredibly fair question. I will look into more options for self publishing platforms! I thought I was under an exclusivity contract but the more I look into it, there is KDP (non exclusive) and KDP SELECT (exclusive). I am pretty sure I am under KDP!
