As a fan of online literature, my answer might be influenced by a certain degree of subjective influence. However, according to the knowledge I have learned about online novels, the following are some of the reasons why novels are not good today: 1. Commercial: With the increasing trend of the novel industry, many novels have been adapted into movies, TV series, games and other forms of entertainment products, resulting in the original novel becoming more commercial and template, losing its original literary value. 2. Restrictions on the subject matter: Nowadays, the subject matter of novels is becoming more and more limited. Many novels are required to meet specific market needs such as romance, fantasy, urban, etc. As a result, the subject matter of novels is limited and cannot show more creativity and imagination. 3. Poor writing style: Nowadays, the writing style of novels is generally poor. The writing style and narrative techniques of many novels lack professionalism, making it difficult for readers to resonate and resonate emotionally. 4. Reader fatigue: Nowadays, readers are increasingly pursuing fast food reading. They are more willing to quickly obtain entertainment and entertainment rather than spending too much time reading long novels. This also led to the lack of depth and tension in the plot and character creation of the novel. 5. Repetition of content: The content of novels nowadays is often repetitive and lacks freshness and uniqueness, causing the reader's reading experience to become boring. These were some of the reasons why novels were not good. Of course, this was only a part of it. There were many other factors, such as social and cultural changes, technological progress, etc., that could affect the development and appeal of novels.
