Were foreign web novels as popular as China's?
Online novels also had a certain influence and audience in foreign countries, but compared to the popularity of Chinese literature, their scale and popularity might be different. The rise of online novels in China was due to its special cultural background and audience needs. The global popularity of the Internet and mobile devices made online novels a popular form of entertainment. Therefore, the influence and audience of Chinese literature on the Internet was relatively small, but it still existed. Similar to Chinese literature, foreign online novels were also welcomed by many readers, especially among young people. These web novels were usually fantasy, science fiction, romance, and so on. They were rich and varied in content, covering all types of novels. Although China's online novels enjoyed a worldwide reputation, the online novel market abroad was relatively scattered, and the reader groups in different countries and cultures were also different. Therefore, although foreign online novels also had their own audiences and influence, their scale and popularity might be different from Chinese online novels.
