1 answer
2024-09-05 22:24

Whether web novels should not have too much dialogue depended on the genre and writing style. Some novels, especially suspense, mystery, science fiction, etc., usually required a lot of plot advancement and plot twists, so dialogue might become the main way of description. These types of novels require the reader to understand the thoughts, emotions, and actions of the characters through dialogue in order to better understand the story. Other types of novels such as romance and fantasy usually focused more on the emotional description and inner monologue of the characters rather than dialogue. In these types of novels, dialogue may seem redundant or interfere with the reader's understanding and grasp of the emotions of the characters. Therefore, whether online novels should not have too much dialogue depended on the specific genre and writing style. When writing, the author could choose the appropriate description according to the different story plots and the needs of the readers to achieve better writing results.
