Recently, the Chinese Department of Peking University held a new Academic conference. The protagonist of the discussion is seven books included in the first volume of the "Peking University Online Literature Research Series". These seven books are all doctoral dissertations on network literature, and the authors are young post-90s scholars. In the past 20 years, Chinese online literature has risen strongly, and its influence has also overflowed the literary field, becoming an important source of content in film, television, games, and anime. With the emergence of online literature, online literature has also become an important content and carrier for literary output, cultural output, and Sino foreign exchanges. At the same time, academic research on online literature has been neglected, and the research level has significantly lagged behind creative practice. According to statistics, there are currently tens of thousands of scholars studying traditional literature nationwide, but less than 200 people study online literature and less than 100 people continue to study it. It is also relatively rare to include online literature in research perspectives in university departments and academic journals. In this context, the series of online literature studies and the Academic conference launched by Peking University are even more valuable. Online literature calls for academic research, and academic research also requires online literature. On the one hand, in order to improve the creation quality of online literature and produce classic and palace level excellent works, it is necessary to sort out and summarize the origin, laws, skills, etc. of this literary form, form a mechanism of online Literary criticism, and improve the standardization of creation. The sustained and healthy development of online literature cannot be achieved without theoretical construction and systematic and professional academic support. On the other hand, the vast volume, numerous genres, and diverse themes of online literature creation, as well as the increasingly "world-class cultural phenomenon" of online literature reading, acceptance, and dissemination, all provide rich and vivid materials and practical experience for literary research. The young scholars who made this appearance "grew up reading online literature", and online literature brought them a profound life experience, blending with their thoughts and emotions. Therefore, in the academic research of online literature, these young scholars have unique advantages, and their future research potential is expected. Online literature has distinct characteristics of popularity and practicality - a large and widely covered mass foundation, closely integrated with the current work and life practices of the masses, which is a particularly worthy aspect of research and exploration in online literature. The creative and reading groups of online literature are large and complex, covering various age groups, industries, and cultural and life backgrounds. There are both study oriented scholars in the "ivory tower" and office workers who work from nine to five. The practicality of online literature is highlighted in the rise of a new army of realist themes in recent years. According to statistics, over 200000 online literary works on real-life themes were born in 2022 alone. These works depict the tremendous changes in the urban and rural landscape of the new era and depict the hot practices in real life. Even science fiction novels, martial arts novels, and suspense novels can be seen everywhere in the ups and downs of the plot, fascinating reasoning, and rich and colorful imagination, where the values and moral aesthetic standards of the people's inner recognition and daily practice can be seen. In fact, the creators and readers of online literature are all immersed in the rich, diverse, three-dimensional and multifaceted current China, and are thriving
