"It's something online writers do every day. It makes me feel so good to see so many readers enjoy my story and get immersed in the plots," says Binglansha, who often has heated discussions with her readers.
Writing can be a difficult and boring process. However, the support from readers gives her passion, says Liu Chenfeng, another young writer.
"They make me feel that I am not writing alone," Liu says.
Liu used to work in IT in Shanghai. She has posted over 5 million words on Hongxiu.com, one of the major literature websites.
Liu says it's hard to predict whether a novel will be popular.
"Sometimes I am very confident that people would love my story. However, it is really not something under my control," Liu says. "Gradually I became less concerned about popularity and focused more on quality."
She's working on a few modern love stories, and has plans to try some fantasies and historical novels, both genres favored by online writers.
In the past five years, Zhang Wei has racked up 177 million yuan ($28.53 million) by just moving his fingertips.
For two consecutive years since 2017, he has topped the list of wealthiest Chinese Internet novelists, with an income of 33 million yuan in 2017.
The 33-year-old Beijing native, better known as Tangjiasanshao online, was the only online writer to be listed on the 2017 Forbes "Chinese Celebrity List".
