The nicknames of the male lead in the novel depended on the plot and character setting of the novel. Some novels may give the male protagonist a symbolic or genre-specific nickname to better portray the character and plot development. For example, if a male lead was a hero or a savior, he might be called "Skywalker"; if a male lead was a hacker or an expert in cybercrime, he might be called "Cyber Fanatic"; if a male lead was a martial arts master, he might be called "Swordsman". The nickname could be chosen according to the plot and character setting of the novel.
