The main difference between physical books and online literature was the publishing method and the readership. Physical books were a way for authors to earn money by printing, distributing, and selling books. Physical books were usually published by the author independently or in cooperation with a publishing house. Physical book publishing required a lot of time and effort, so authors usually focused more on creating the story and character of the physical book. The readers of physical books were mainly those who loved literature. They usually went to bookstores or libraries to look for physical books to read. Online literature referred to literary works that were serialized, published, and sold through the Internet platform. The unique feature of online literature was that it had a wide readership, allowing authors to publish their works and update their progress more flexibly. At the same time, they could also gain more attention and income through online platforms. The publishing method of online literature was relatively simple. It was usually printed and distributed by a publishing house or an online platform. The readers of online literature were also more diverse, including young readers, white-collar workers, students, and other age groups and professional groups. Physical books and online literature had their own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the author's and the publishing company's creative methods and the needs of the readers.
