Online literature usually refers to the literary works published on the Internet, including novels, essays, poems, etc., which are modern and open, different from traditional literature. Although online literature and traditional literature were very different in form and content, it was still controversial to classify it as folk literature. This was because folk literature generally referred to literary forms that originated from the people and were created by the people, with distinct epochal and regional characteristics. However, the main creators of online literature are usually young people. They come from different social classes and cultural backgrounds, and their motives and purposes are also different. Online literature often pursued novelty, excitement, and entertainment rather than the traditional seriousness and profundity. Therefore, from these aspects, online literature and traditional literature were not consistent and did not have clear characteristics of folk literature. Although there are differences in form and content between online literature and traditional literature, it is also an independent form of literature that should be classified and evaluated independently.

The main characteristics of online literature were its fast spreading speed, wide audience, and diverse content. It often had distinctive characteristics of the times and online culture. His representative works included Harry Potter, Grave Robber's Chronicles, Ghost Blows Out the Light, and other online literary works. Although traditional literature and online literature have different ways of creation and communication, they are both important components of the field of literature, each representing different literary styles and schools.
