Web Novel

What is a Web Novel?

A web novel is a novel serialized online, typically through a website or online platform dedicated to hosting user-generated content. Often published in chapters or installments, web novels are characterized by their free or low-cost accessibility and direct engagement with readers through comments sections and author interaction. Unlike traditionally published novels, web novels often evolve based on reader feedback, sometimes incorporating elements of interactive fiction. Examples include works hosted on platforms like Royal Road, Wattpad, and Scribble Hub.
