THE National Press and Publication Administration and China Writers Association have released a recommended list of 24 online literature works that were serialized between Aug. 1, 2017 and Sept. 30, 2018.

This is the fourth year in a row that such recommendations have been given.

More than 500 online literature works submitted by 52 websites from 15 provinces competed for the recommendations, according to the organizers.

There were more than 400 million readers and over 16 million online literature works created by 14 million author accounts, according to an industry report released by the China Audio-Video and Digital Publishing Association in September.

The report shows that printed versions for 6,942 online literature works had been published, while 1,195 films, 1,232 TV series, 605 games and 712 comics were adapted from these works by December 2017.
