What was a web-based novel?
Online novels referred to the distribution of novels on online literature platforms, which combined the text and audio versions of the novel to be shared and disseminated through video sharing platforms (such as Youku, iQiyi, etc.). Online novels were usually adapted by some novel authors or novel editors to cater to the tastes and preferences of the audience. The story plot and character images of the novel were adapted and made into a complete video work through the audio version. The audience for online novels was usually people who liked to read novels and listen to music. This way, combining novels and music could bring a better experience of watching movies and listening to dramas. At the same time, web-based novels also provided a new way of creative thinking and expression for some novel editors and film directors.
