Let me ask you a question. Why do most of the main characters in novels have the surname Lin? For example, Lin Dong, Lin Wu, Lin Feng, Lin Chen, etc.

This question involved the author's writing style and personal preferences. Not all the main characters in the novel had the surname Lin. However, the surname Lin was a very common surname in the novel universe because many novel authors were used to using this surname in the name of the protagonist. The surname Lin was a very famous surname in ancient Chinese history, such as Lin Pingzhi, Lin Duanchang, Lin Daiyu, etc. The use of these names in the novel could enhance the historical and cultural background of the novel and increase the sense of immersion of the readers. The author of the novel could also use the name Lin to create some unique characters such as Lin Yutang, Lin Feng, Lin Yuanzhi, etc. These names were not only unique but also easily aroused the interest of readers. Therefore, although not all protagonists had the surname Lin, the surname Lin was a very common surname in the novel universe. Many authors would use it to create the name of the protagonist.
