Web novels have gained popularity in recent years as a form of literature that is published and consumed online via specialized platforms. User generated comments and reviews play an important role in the web novel platform, providing valuable insight into reader sentiment and feedback. Manually analyzing sentiment from a large number ofcomments would be very time consuming, an efficient automated approach was required. This study uses the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) method to identify sentiment patterns (positive, negative, neutral) in user comments on web novels and analyze their distribution as a whole. LDA, originally designed for topic modeling, has proven effective in sentiment analysis, helping to group comments into relevant topics and uncover general sentiments related to each topic. This study aims to use the LDA method to identify sentiment patterns (positive, negative, or neutral) in user comments on web novels and analyze the distribution of sentiment as a whole. The results show the effectiveness of LDA in sentiment analysis, achieving quite good results, with 72% accuracy, 80% precision, 72% recall, and 65% F1 score.
