On the subway in Beijing, most people stare at their smartphones. Some play video games or watch TV dramas, while some choose to read.

Online novels are popular among these readers. In fact, more people are becoming registered users on online literature websites or smartphone applications. The total number of online literature website users had increased to over 500 million by the end of November 2018, according to a report from China Internet Network Information Center. This shows half of all netizens are online literature readers.

Many scholars estimate the number will keep increasing at an annual rate of tens of millions. Yet the fast growth due to the widespread adoption of the Internet and smartphones in the past 20 years was criticized by some writers as disorder. As the number of online literature works increases, some vulgar (低俗的) online novels have appeared. Ning Ken, the top prize winner of the First Online Literature Contest, said online literature needs guidance. “I think it should be something of high quality, rather than just a sort of entertainment. Its quality should be improved, ”said the writer.

Answer 1

【答案】The major reason why online literature goes viral among netizens is that smartphones and internet team up with each other, thus facilitating mobile reading. However, experts express concern on the quality of the reading material.

Personally, I sit on the fence as to online literature. On the one hand, this rising reading mode transport people into a fantastic literary world, which is much superior to the shallow video games or superficial TV dramas. On the other hand, if not guided properly, netizens, particularly young readers lacking a strong moral sense, might accidentally download obscene or violent content, which might lead them astray.

Therefore, to ensure the quality of online literature, it is ripe time that online platforms such as Amazon closely scrutinized the content of the material. Once vulgar or violent words are spotted, the novel should be instantly removed or deleted from the resource pool. Also, experienced readers can recommend special picks to green hands so that they can make a better distinction between good and bad.
