How did the fictional novel come about in the first place?
Aerial novels originated from the adaptation and re-creation of history, myths, legends, etc. The most common way was to completely fabricate the characters, events, places, etc. into a new literary genre. In the early days, fictional novels often created a brand new world view and characters by imitating and extending historical events or cultural traditions. For example, the various gods and heroes in ancient Greek mythology were adapted into fictional characters and then unfolded in this fictional world. Later on, the development of fictional novels gradually moved towards more diverse forms such as science fiction, fantasy, martial arts, romance, and other genres. Among them, science fiction and fantasy novels often created a new world and worldview through fantasies about the future or technology. Wuxia and romance novels, on the other hand, paid more attention to the emotions and interpersonal relationships of the characters to construct a world view that was full of personality and emotional depth. The origin of fictional novels can be traced back to ancient times, but with the passage of time, it gradually became an independent literary genre and was widely welcomed in contemporary times.
