With the development of the times, people pay more attention to the field of entertainment, including but not limited to games, novels, music. At the same time, people became dissatisfied with the existing environment and continue to create more pastimes and entertainment categories. Among them, infinite flow novel was also a newly created network novel category in the last 15 years.  \nAlthough in the past, people did not know the concept of infinite flow, but in recent years, the hot release of \"Squid Game\", \"Beginning\" and other TV series, let people have a new understanding of infinite flow, infinite flow novels. Until now, the once unpopular infinite stream of fiction has gradually become popular to people. Yet, true to its abstract name, the mechanics of writing the Infinite Stream novel are often unfamiliar to people, and even misunderstood by many.  \nThis article will explore the content of infinite stream novels by studying the infinite stream novels published on the Internet in China in the last 15 years. The reader learns about Infinite Flow's basic introduction, narrative mode, unique style, and the pitfalls it contains.  \nKeywords: Writing Mechanism, Infinite Flow/Stream, China, E-book Market  \n1 Introduction  \nNetwork novels are familiar to contemporary people, especially young people. At present, the network novel industry is greatly welcomed by people. On October 9, 2021, Zhang Yijun, deputy director general of the China Audio-visual and Digital Publishing Association, released the 2020 Report on the Development of Chinese Online Literature, which revealed that the market size of Chinese online literature reached 24.98 billion yuan in 2020, the number of online literature users reached 460 million, and the average daily active users were about 7,577,500 . In addition, a total of 29.059 million online literary works were created in 2020, with more than 21.3 million online literary authors [1] . Yu Cike, executive vice president of the Copyright Association of China, said that in 2021, China's online literature industry achieved both social and economic benefits in terms of inheriting traditional culture, recording the development of the era  \n© The Author(s) 2023  \nH. Mallick et al.

In 2021, the scale of China's online literature industry reached 35.8 billion yuan, up 24.1% year on year, and the number of users reached 502 million, accounting for 48.6% of the total Internet users, up 9.1% year on year [2] . Among the branches of online fiction, there is one that is getting hotter. The recent popularity of TV dramas such as Squid Game and The Beginning has brought the seemingly novel term \"infinite flow\" to the attention of the Chinese public. However, the development of \"infinite flow\", especially the infinite flow novel, did not last just a few years. In fact, even though the original novel of \"Beginning\" is labelled as\"infinite flow\" on the first platform of Jinjiang's novel reading, it is not a novel of infinite flow in the traditional sense. This article will analyze the writing mechanism of infinite flow novels from the definition, narrative characteristics, as well as its problems and causes.  \n2 Literature review  \nThe origin of this category of the generalized infinite genre cannot be precisely defined, as there are many domestic and foreign examples. For example, in the 1993 movie\"Phantom Hero,\" Danni, a young boy, can slip in and out of the movie. In the manga Killing City, which was serialized in 2000, Geno Ji, a high school student who died accidentall","cbCaiip1IIlMEPQo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiip1IIlMEPQo","pdf",244886,"English","# Introduction\n## Market development of Chinese online literature\n## “Infinite flow” concept and its ambiguity\n# Literature review\n## Related origins and classic narrative structures\n## In-China emergence: Infinite Terror and genre formation\n# Writing mechanism analysis\n## Definition and narrative characteristics","[{\"question\":\"What does the paper focus on regarding infinite flow novels?\",\"answer\":\"It investigates the writing mechanism of infinite flow novels, including their definition, narrative characteristics, and the problems and causes behind common misunderstandings.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the “infinite flow” concept explained in relation to earlier works?\",\"answer\":\"The paper connects the concept to earlier domestic and foreign examples that share generalized infinite/recursive storytelling structures, such as time-loop or repeated-day narratives.\"},{\"question\":\"What is considered the origin of infinite flow novels in China?\",\"answer\":\"The paper points to “Infinite Terror” by Zhttty as the originator in China, first published on Qidian in 2007 and serialized in 2009, then leading to related follow-up works.\"}]","The Research on the Writing Mechanism of Infinite Flow Novels in China's E-book Market - Paper | PDF"]
