Preface:
There are a lot of domestic novel platforms, and the novelist has been a novel fan for many years. Different platforms, different novels focus differently. Which one do you prefer today
Tomato novels - 260 million monthly, free reading giants
Byte beats the free novel app, launched in 2019, and runs on the "free read + ad."。
According to questmobile, as of february 2026, tomato life was approximately 260 million a month, covered 453 million users and 265 million active users - this volume runs in the digital reading industry. There are over 600,000 signed writers, over 780,000 signed works and over 1. 5 million copyright banks。
The tomatoes also have a million-dollar ip escort, and a single short play adaptation is awarded up to $3 million and $2 million for copyright. The byte game is clear: free user draw, short play earns。
Seven cat-free novels -- free track dicks, 300 million cumulative users
Seven cats go on the same free-of-charge + advertising route as tomatoes, go online in 2017 and add up to 300 million users。
According to ctr, there are approximately 6. 71 million active users of the seven cats. There's a difference between size and tomato, but it's a second chair in the free reading market. Seven cats are particularly popular with female content, and there are millions more hot on the women's channel on the hot list。
Between january and may 2026, the total amount of transactions authorized in the short play field is over $1. 8 billion, with seven cats and three readings and tomatoes accounting for more than 70 per cent of the market. Free platforms don't pay for their readers, they make money under the authority of the ip。
The starting point of the chinese language network — the cost-reading pole, the ip adapted brother
Founded in 2002, under the umbrella of the reading group, "grandmaster" of chinese online literature。
The starting point is the vip-pay-subscription model, which, through such systems as author welfare, platinum god and so on, has built an eco-ecosystem for more mature creators in the industry. Doro continent, jubilee, ghost blowing lights, are all phenomena from the beginning。
The data from the phl show that the reading group has a steady top position in the industry with a 35 per cent market share. Although monthly life is no better than tomatoes, the starting point is better payer willingness and ip value. The copyright revenue from an explosion is enough for a free platform to run for six months。
Qq q read quest quest quest
All-powerful reading of app under the umbrella of the reading group is equivalent to the "phone upgrade" from the start。
Ten million works in stock and four million authors, covering various categories of novels, literature, administration, animation, etc. This is where all the hot movies of ghost blowing lights are found。
Qq reads in a way that integrates all the contents of the reading system into one of the apps — books that can be read from the beginning, from the back, from the red sleeves. For the reader, several apps are convenient; for reading, traffic is centrally managed。
Handheld ireader - old reading platform, active user, 5. 62 million
In 2008, it began to read electronically。
According to ctr data, there are approximately 5. 62 million active users. Unlike a purely web-based platform, the contents of the hand-held are much more varied - published books, original literature, audio books, comics, magazines. Technically, the first 3d simulation of pages, eye-protective models was carried out, with considerable effort in layout and reading experience。
Hand-held user images are one-line, younger and pay more than free platform users. The brand-maker is watching the platform because the quality of the user is there。
6. Wireless reading — social reading experiment for information
Launched in august 2015, reading applications based on micro-trust links。
It covers a variety of e-books, including novels, literature, social science, economics, science and technology, and works with numerous publishers, while supporting the publication of books and original online content, as well as the selection of public articles。
The biggest difference between wikileaks reading is "socialization" -- you see which book, what line you draw, how long you read, and your friends see. Some feel that this function is annoying, others feel that it has a promotional effect. But there's no denying that the u. S. W.'s traffic portal allowed this app to be a user。
Jinjiang literary city — women's frequency ceiling, 7. 39 million registered users
Founded in 2003, women in mainland china have turned to their original literary site, recognized as the "standard of women's network"。
As of august 2025, jinjiang had more than 6. 75 million online works, with 2. 98 million registered authors and more than 52. 7 million daily updates, a cumulative number of 16. 39 billion words, more than 73. 97 million registered users and nearly 200 countries and territories。
Jinjiang's payment pattern is similar to the starting point and is subscribed to by chapter. But jinjiang is characterized by pure femininity — words, passages, rebirths, peers — and so much good. Many of the original films are from jinjiang, who does not advertise very well, but whose output capacity is not limited。
Book flag chinese network — ali's internet chess piece
Ali's reading and ip-connected platform is located in the "integrated literary industry ecology"。
A variety of angles, including digital content breeding, copyright cooperation, ip derivatives, and fan economy, are intended to be an open ecology related to the web-based industry。
To be honest, the flag is much worse than the previous ones. Ali has never found a particularly good rhythm in his online work, and the banners exist more as a puzzle of ali’s great entertainment, singled out for viewing that the size and influence of users are not in the forefront. But relying on ali's resources and channels does not lead to a fallout。
Cross-chinese language network - 100 degrees of web layout
Founded in 2008, there are a number of products under the banner of "app, panda" across the chinese web。
Cross-cutting is one of the earlier original novel platforms in the country, with a certain accumulation of male, urban and historical content. But, to be honest, under the free-of-charge pattern of tomatoes and seven cats, it's not much better to cross the border — neither a written ip moat nor a byte flow。
After 100-degree acquisitions, more often as part of a 100-degree content ecology, search flows can be directed, but the gap with the head platform is widening。
The bookshop — the old female character, the ip adapted the bomb
Women's channel in the reading group, where women are the first writers to return to china。
The originals of the big hot films, the big bang song, are from the books. In comparison to jinjiang, the college of books is following a more traditional fee-paying subscription line, which is based on a reference system for ip development and copyright operations。
The strength of the bookshop lies in the fact that the ip chain of reading is directly used by the trees that rely on it - copyright development, video adaptation, overseas translation. It's not a big deal looking at app's level of activity, but the ip's value is high on the women's channel。
Let's talk
Like i said, it's usually at the start of a novel, and it costs a few hundred bucks a year. Do you like to read a novel
