China's online literature has captivated more global readers with the assistance of digital technology including AI translation and multimedia transformations. Digitalization has been empowering the global expansion of China's online literature, with WebNovel, a leading Chinese online literature platform, becoming one of the beneficiaries. In 2025, the platform has had more than 10,000 pieces of works translated by AI, with the scale of multilingual translation reaching 3.5 times that of last year. AI-powered translation volume has grown by nearly 300 percent, with efficiency improving by a hundredfold and costs reduced by 90 percent. According to the 2024 China Online Literature Blue Book, by the end of 2024, China's online literature readership had swelled to 575 million, taking up 51.9 percent of the total netizen population. Also in that year, the number of overseas readers of Chinese online literature reached 200 million, with 30 million newly registered users. Meanwhile, the revenue from the overseas market hit 4.815 billion yuan (about 674 million U.S. dollars), showing a year-on-year growth of 10.68 percent, demonstrating the industry's strong market resilience. For now, Chinese online literature has evolved into a comprehensive industry ecosystem of significant scale and depth. Its full-chain IP development has yielded notable achievements, while derivative formats such as audiobooks, comics, and animation have broadened the horizons of dissemination, shaping an integrated communication model of "text, audiovisual, and interaction".
