The decline of Wuxia novels is a complicated problem because the development and evolution of Wuxia literature has gone through many different stages and changes. However, generally speaking, the influence of martial arts novels in today's society has gradually weakened, mainly because many readers 'interest in this kind of literature has changed. In the past few years, the readers of martial arts novels have gradually turned to other types of books such as science fiction, fantasy, and romance. These types of literary works were more stimulating and imaginative, and could better meet the consumer needs of readers. In addition, with the development of network technology, the way people obtain information and entertainment is also constantly changing.

Many wuxia works have become classic literary works, which have a profound impact on the development of Chinese literature and culture. In addition, many Wuxia players hoped to bring new experiences and feelings to their readers. The decline of martial arts novels did not mean its demise, but it represented the development and evolution of a literary genre in a specific historical period. Although the influence of Wuxia novels has weakened due to the change of readers, Wuxia literature, one of the important cultural heritages in the history of Chinese literature, still has broad prospects for development.
