What was the first online novel? Who wrote it?

The first online novel in China was 'Dream of the Red Chamber', which was written in the Qing Dynasty. This novel was a classic in Chinese classical literature and was hailed as a treasure in the history of world literature.

Another candidate for an early novel could be 'Le Morte d'Arthur' which has elements of a novel in its compilation of Arthurian legends. It was written by Sir Thomas Malory in the 15th century in England. But again, the definition of 'first' can vary depending on different criteria such as narrative structure, length, and fictional elements.

There are many possible answers to this question because the creation of novels involves many different fields and eras. But generally speaking, the earliest novels were from ancient times, such as the ancient Greek epics,"The Iliad" and "The Odysey." These works had a history of thousands of years and were one of the earliest literary works in human history. However, the origin of modern novels can be traced back to the 18th century in Europe. Enlightenment ideologists proposed many new literary theories, advocating rationality, science, and critical thinking. These theories contributed to the development and prosperity of the novel. One of the earliest modern novels was Daniel Defoe's Crusoe. The development of modern novels was also influenced by the cultural movements of the 20th century, such as romanticism, realism, realism, and so on. Among them, the most famous were the Russian works "Crime and Punishment" and "War and Peace", which had a profound impact on the development of modern novels.

This question was difficult to answer because online novels had a long history. However, if it was referring to the novels that were very famous in the online novel world, then some of the earliest online novels could be traced back to the late 1980s and early 1990s. The more famous ones were the Harry Potter series, the Battle Through the Heavens series, and the Snow Eagle Lord series. The authors of these novels were all online. They published their novels online and gradually became popular, becoming classics in the online novel world.

The first novel was Journey to the West.

The Defiant Immortal written by Er Gen and the mortal immortal biography written by Forgotten Words, who wrote it first and who wrote it later. Egen's Rebel Immortal was a fantasy novel written by Egen that was first published in 2011, while the Legend of Mortal Cultivation written by Forgotten Words was published in 2013. Therefore, the Defiant Immortal was written a year earlier than the Mortal Cultivation Biography.

The first crime novel is often considered to be 'The Woman in White' by Wilkie Collins. It was published in 1859 and set a precedent for the genre.

The concept of virtual reality helmets first appeared in some early video games such as StarCraft and World of Warcraft. However, the application of virtual helmets in online games and novels had only become popular in recent years. In online game novels, virtual reality helmets were a tool that allowed players to enter another virtual world. It was commonly seen in role-playing games (RPGs). This kind of writing technique could provide readers with a more immersive game experience and also provide more imagination for the story in the novel. It was hard to say who the creator of the virtual reality helmet was because the origin of the concept could be traced back to early video games. However, the first work to apply the virtual helmet to an online game novel was the 2012 release of Sword God's Domain: Swordsman in Black. The virtual reality helmet in this novel became an important element of the novel, providing readers with a broader imagination and a richer gaming experience.
