Tips

culture

Chinese online fiction is a massive industry — 起点 (Qidian), 晋江 (Jinjiang), 番茄小说 (Fanqie) host millions of serialized novels. Major adapted IPs (《庆余年》, 《琅琊榜》, 《盗墓笔记》) all started as 网络作家 web novels. The label distinguishes them from traditionally published 作家.

usage

网络作家 implies serial-chapter web novels, not bloggers — those are 博主. Many famous 网络作家 use pen names (笔名 bǐmíng) like 唐家三少 or 天蚕土豆.
