ReadNovel Group Announces 2024's "Twelve Titans" of Online Literature: IP Adaptation Boom Continues

On December 24, 2024, ReadNovel Group officially announced the highly anticipated 2024 list of "Twelve Titans," exemplary authors in online literature. Twelve outstanding writers were selected, their works encompassing diverse genres including sci-fi, fantasy, xianxia (immortal cultivation), historical fiction, military fiction, light novels, and urban stories, vividly showcasing the diversified trends and booming development of online literature in 2024. This announcement not only recognizes the hard work of these authors but also marks the remarkable achievements of online literature in 2024, further fueling the ongoing boom in online literature IP adaptations.

The "Twelve Titans" are: Cheng Cheng Yu Chan, Shen Wei Xiaowei, Gu Zhenren, Gudu Maike, Earl Constantine, Yi Pian Xue Bing, Gu Xi, Lu Yue Shijiu, Chun Jiu Lian Deng, Fenu De Wu Zhui, He Zhao, and Mi Fan De Mi. These twelve authors, with their exquisite writing, creative plots, and unique mastery of diverse genres, have won the hearts of countless readers and industry recognition. Their works have had a profound impact on the online literature landscape.

• Among them, author Cheng Cheng Yu Chan and their work, Genius Club, is particularly noteworthy. The novel skillfully blends science fiction elements with suspense and mystery, unfolding against a grand historical backdrop. The adventure story of a group of people is presented across six hundred years of history, demonstrating the author's extraordinary creativity and narrative ability. Furthermore, Genius Club achieved an average subscription of over 100,000 on Qidian (a major online literature platform), a testament to its market recognition and the enthusiastic support of its readers. The novel's film, animation, comic, and physical book rights have all been sold, and it also won the Best Sci-Fi Online Literature Award at the 35th Galaxy Awards, a true testament to its success.

• Regarding the creative process, Cheng Cheng Yu Chan frankly admitted to having written in various genres on different platforms, achieving some success but never fully realizing their creative ambitions. They believe that Qidian offers the best creative environment and reader base online, with readers patient enough to savor a good story. The outstanding success of Genius Club is inseparable from the high-quality platform provided by Qidian. They believe that Genius Club would have struggled to achieve such remarkable success, potentially even failing in its early stages, on any other platform. This statement indirectly reflects Qidian's crucial role in the creation and development of online literature, as well as its support for excellent works.

It's noteworthy that nearly 70% of the works by this year's "Twelve Titans" have already had their rights sold, fully reflecting the booming development of online literature IP adaptation and the huge market demand for high-quality online literature. In 2024, the process of online literature IP adaptation continued to accelerate, producing numerous excellent works, with many successfully adapted into film and television productions.

• Film and television adaptations of online literature IPs achieved remarkable success in 2024. Series such as With You, Joy of Life Season 2, Ink Rain Cloud, and Nine Heavens Purple dominated screens and received widespread attention and praise. With You, Joy of Life Season 2, and Ink Rain Cloud, all completed series, have also been broadcast overseas and occupied three of the top five spots on MOA, a Korean streaming platform, demonstrating the international influence of Chinese online literature and the competitiveness of Chinese online literature adaptations in the international market.

These successful cases not only prove the immense potential of online literature IP adaptation but also inject new vitality into the continued development of online literature. In the future, with the continuous maturation of online literature creation and the advancement of IP adaptation technology, more excellent online literature works will be adapted into various forms, such as film and television dramas, further promoting Chinese online literature onto the world stage and allowing more people to experience its unique charm.

In conclusion, the announcement of the 2024 "Twelve Titans" of online literature is an affirmation of excellent works and authors, and signifies the continued rise of online literature IP adaptation. In the future, more excellent online literature works will undoubtedly emerge, bringing readers more exciting reading experiences and driving Chinese online literature towards an even brighter future. The flourishing development of online literature not only provides rich spiritual nourishment for a vast readership but also injects new vitality into the development of China's cultural industry. This "Twelve Titans" list is not only a summary of the past year but also a vision for the future, indicating that online literature will continue to stride forward on the path of innovation. The success of online literature IP adaptations also provides more creative motivation and development space for writers, allowing more excellent works to be known and loved by the public. Online literature, with its unique charm, is influencing more and more readers and creators, driving Chinese culture toward the world. This continuously heating IP adaptation boom will continue to inject fresh blood into China's film and television industry, bringing audiences a more diversified audio-visual feast.

The success of these twelve authors is not only the result of their individual efforts but also a reflection of the prosperity and development of the entire online literature ecosystem. Their works, like shining stars, illuminate the night sky of online literature, guiding it towards a brighter future. In the future, we look forward to seeing more outstanding authors emerge, more excellent works created, and more successful IP adaptation cases, jointly promoting Chinese online literature to the world and shining even brighter. ReadNovel Group, as a leader in the online literature field, will continue to provide writers with a high-quality creative platform and development space, supporting the creation of more excellent works and promoting the continued prosperity of Chinese online literature.
