Abstract

Novel Palagan Nusantara karya Nellaneva merupakan salah satu dystopian fiction yang mengangkat budaya lokal Indonesia dan telah meraih popularitas sejak pertama kali diterbitkan secara fisik oleh Elex Media Komputindo pada tahun 2019, setelah sebelumnya menarik perhatian banyak pembaca di platform Wattpad. Dengan meningkatnya minat pembaca usia 16–20 tahun terhadap konten visual digital, novel ini dinilai layak untuk dikembangkan ke media baru sebagai strategi perluasan audiens. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang adaptasi Palagan Nusantara dalam bentuk komik digital yang relevan dan kompetitif dalam industri webtoon lokal.
Dengan pendekatan kualitatif, pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui studi literatur, wawancara dengan penulis dan pelaku industri, observasi visual, serta uji coba pengguna (user test) melalui platform LINE Webtoon KANVAS. Berdasarkan hasil user test ditemukan bahwa kekuatan utama adaptasi ini terletak pada pacing cerita dan komposisi panel yang runtut, serta teknik pewarnaan yang memperkuat penyajian cerita. Interaksi karakter yang emosional dan menghibur juga menjadi nilai lebih yang disukai audiens. Namun, ditemukan catatan pada aspek world building dan istilah fiksi yang perlu penyempurnaan agar tidak menghambat pemahaman pembaca baru. Dengan hasil ini, komik adaptasi Palagan Nusantara menunjukkan potensi sebagai media kompetitif yang mampu bersaing di industri webtoon lokal, dengan mengandalkan latar belakang cerita lokal dan pendekatan visual yang sesuai selera pasar digital masa kini.

Palagan Nusantara, a dystopian fiction novel by Nellaneva, highlights Indonesian local culture and has gained popularity since its first print publication by Elex Media Komputindo in 2019, after initially attracting a wide readership on the Wattpad platform. With the growing interest of readers aged 16–20 in digital visual content, the novel is considered suitable for development into a new medium as a strategy for audience expansion. This study aims to design a digital comic adaptation of Palagan Nusantara that is relevant and competitive within the local webtoon industry.
Using a qualitative approach, data collection was conducted through literature studies, interviews with the author and industry professionals, visual observations, and user testing via the LINE Webtoon KANVAS platform. The user test results revealed that the adaptation’s main strengths lie in its clear story pacing and panel composition, as well as the coloring techniques that enhance the storytelling. The emotional and entertaining character interactions were also favored by the audience. However, some feedback pointed to the need for improvement in world-building elements and fictional terms, which could hinder comprehension for new readers. Based on these findings, the Palagan Nusantara comic adaptation shows strong potential as a competitive medium capable of thriving in the local webtoon industry, by leveraging its local background and a visual approach aligned with today’s digital market preferences.
