This was a rather complicated question that involved language habits, cultural differences, novel writing style, and so on. Using English words or adding "-" to replace Chinese words in the novel may be to enhance the legibility and fluency of the language, but it may also be to follow a certain writing style or cultural habits. For example, replacing common Chinese words with many, radical, or Pinyin letters can make the text more concise and easy to read. In other novels, there may be cross-language and cross-cultural communication, so using English words or adding "-" instead of Chinese words can also have this effect. For example, using English words or adding "-" in cross-cultural communication can help readers better understand the author's intentions. Using English words or adding "-" to replace Chinese words was a common practice in novels. There could be many reasons for this. When writing, one needed to decide how to use English words or add "-" to replace Chinese words according to the specific situation.

Many novels would replace some words with English, and even if they used English words, they would add a "-". This was because it could better communicate with international readers and increase the degree of international exposure of the novel. Using English words could make the novel more readable and attractive, and also increase the competitiveness of the novel in the international market. In addition, the use of the "-" symbol could also enhance the rhythm of the novel, making it easier for the reader to understand and remember the story.
