Prose genre literature as a means of entertainment and learning materials currently can be accessed through digital technology. One of online application that can be used to access prose digitally is NovelToon. The purpose of this research is to explain how to apply NovelToon, to explain NovelToon's strengths and weaknesses, as well as to use NovelToon as a prose learning media in high school level. This research uses a qualitative approach. This research method uses content analysis. Documentation and note-taking techniques are data collection techniques in this research. The results of this research indicate that the use of the NovelToon application begins with creating a user account, both as a writer and as a reader of the novel work. The advantage of NovelToon is the audio feature that can be added to each story so that readers can listen to the contents of the story in addition to reading it. In addition, there is a review of the novel work from the NovelToon team so that the novel work is in higher quality. One of the drawbacks of this application is that the latest story chapters tend to be published for a long time depending on the duration of the assessment of the novel work. In addition, the majority of novel works are in the romantic genre. The use of NovelToon as a prose learning media can be reviewed from the patterns and strategies for its use in learning.
