The pen names used for writing novels were usually chosen by the author himself. They could be named according to the character's name, personality traits, story theme, and other factors. The choice of a pen name should be able to highlight the characteristics of the novel and make it easy for people to remember. Some common pen names used in novels included Misty Rain Jiangnan, Full-time Expert, Three Young Masters of the Tang Family, Heavenly Silkworm Potato, Battle Through the Heavens, Legend of the Shepherd God, and so on.
