What's the difference between online literature and traditional literature?

Online literature mainly refers to online novels, which are published electronically on the Internet for people to read, while traditional literature prefers paper publishing. Of course, many traditional documents have been made into electronic versions for people to read, but traditional documents are generally published in paper form first. What is the main difference between the two? There are mainly the following points.

First, the length of creation is different. The characteristics of online novels are that they are serialized and updated every day, and the length is extremely long, usually millions or even tens of millions of words, while traditional novels are usually hundreds of thousands of words, which are very long and few millions of words, which is completely incomparable with the length of online novels.

Second, different readers, online novels tend to fast food culture. Readers who like to read online novels are more concerned about whether the ups and downs of novel stories are enough, whether the protagonist's sense of substitution is strong enough, and whether it can arouse his reading pleasure. Traditional novels tend to discuss human nature, analyze social problems, and the influence of the times on people. Readers who like reading traditional novels may not accept that the online text is too empty, and may not want to spend so long chasing millions of words.

Third, the threshold of creation and the way of creation are different. The threshold of online novel creation is very low. You can register an account online to publish novel articles. Traditional literature, on the other hand, has a high demand for paper publishing channels, and editors have a lot to check. Therefore, people who write traditional literature are often very demanding, not to say that they can be published by writing casually.

Online novels and traditional novels have their own advantages and disadvantages. Many online novels are of very high quality, and paper novels are not necessarily excellent, so there is no difference between them. Different cultural needs will lead to different creative methods.
