Abstract

At present, the status of women is gradually improving, and more and more women choose to express their perspectives and ideas through the creation of romantic novels on the Internet, and many scholars are also analyzing the female perceptions behind this internet literature. Thus, it is very important and necessary to study the female perceptions that are shown in online romantic novels, and it can help people quickly understand the female perceptions’ ideology and changes in a certain period or stage. However, few people classify and summarize the works of this period to observe the evolution of women’s perceptions. Therefore, the purpose of our essay is to explore how the cognition of women has changed during this period by reading and analyzing scholars’ analysis of the female perceptions behind online romantic novels from 2012 to 2021. This paper has summarized and analyzed about 30 essays from Google Scholar and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI). Essays on female-oriented internet novels are divided into three categories with their representative female character designs respectively: traditional romance novel, Superwoman and Matriarchy fiction, and Danmei (boys’ love) novel. The result of this analysis demonstrates that the literary world fabricated by Chinese women in cyberspace is an imagined Utopia for them to escape the tense and trivial real life, also an experiment field of reconstructing the meaning of their gender.
