These differences in cultural backgrounds might lead to differences in values and aesthetic tastes between online literature and mainstream literature, making it difficult for mainstream literature to recognize them. 2. The lack of innovation in literary forms: Compared with traditional literary works, which have a heavy history and cultural heritage, online literary works tend to pay more attention to the story, character creation, writing and other elements to pursue innovation and creativity.

The content of some online literature works was vulgar, violent, erotic, and did not conform to the moral and aesthetic standards of the mainstream literary world. This also affected the status of online literature works in the traditional literary world. There are differences between online literature and traditional literature in cultural background, literary form, audience groups, and literary quality, which makes it difficult for online literature to gain recognition in the traditional literary world. However, as a new form of literature, online literature was also constantly developing and improving. In the future, it might be recognized and supported by more mainstream literary circles.
