Why are there many foreign science fiction novels, while fantasy novel is popular in China?

Mainly influenced by the education and living environment.

Science Fiction (Sci-Fi), the full name of science fiction (English full name: science fiction), is a literary genre, which originated in the modern west. It is defined as literature and art created through reasonable assumptions (not imagination) on the basis of respecting scientific conclusions. It is generally believed that excellent science fiction must have three elements: logical self-consistency, scientific elements and humanistic thinking. At present, paying attention to narration and pursuing humanistic thinking has become the mainstream of science fiction, and the boundary between science fiction and fantasy novel is becoming increasingly blurred. Domestic sci-fi also shows the trend of neglecting science and attaching importance to literature and art. It is worth noting that at present, the novels classified by sci-fi on domestic mainstream online literature platforms rarely fully possess the above three elements, and their subdivision types and audiences are quite different from the sci-fi defined in this entry, and they are not recognized by China sci-fi circles and the World Science Fiction Association, and belong to a branch of online literature. Therefore, this entry will not introduce this type.

Fantasy novel is a type of novel, and its ideological content is often profound, mysterious, fantastic and magnificent. Not limited by science and humanities, nor by time and space, inspirational and passionate, let the author's imagination play freely. It is closely related to sci-fi, fantasy, martial arts and other fantasy novels.

It is generally believed that the word fantasy novel was put forward by Huang Yi, a Hong Kong writer, with the original meaning of "fantasy novel based on fantasy". The so-called metaphysical factor is the explanation, description and exploration of Taoist thought, Yijing Shushu, folklore, ghost theory and spatiality.

At present, fantasy novel is mainly popular in network culture, and the largest category of fantasy novel is the novel of fixing truth, which can be almost equated with each other, while most articles of fixing truth contain heaven and monsters, which are ups and downs.
