About Kazuto Amaki

Kazuto Amaki is a Japanese light novel author writing mainly fantasy and SF. He publishes under his own e-book label, Astral Bookworks, and also works as a Japanese localizer of game dialogue.

His best-known work, Sōzōshin no Keishōsha (Heir to the Creator God), began in 2021 as the web novel Seisansei-chū ga Isekai de Kunizukuri on EveryStar, and was retitled and revised for its Kindle edition. The web editions have passed 5M views in total across EveryStar, Syosetu and Kakuyomu; on EveryStar alone it passed 2.5M views and peaked at No. 3 in the Trending ranking for fantasy.

Alongside his own writing, he edits other writers' novels on Coconala. The experience of creating stories himself feeds the work of polishing game dialogue and other writers' manuscripts.
