From the perspective of practical theory, literary works need to be washed and tested by time in order to get their due fame. With the passage of time, an excellent work will emit a breath of fresh air over time, and the conclusion given by time is not only whether the work reveals the characteristics of the times, truly reflects the social life and gives enlightenment, but more importantly, whether the characters shaped by the work and the story told are creative, profound and insightful. This law also applies to network literature. After more than 20 years of development, in the field of network literature for readers are often those with the spirit of pioneering, can vividly show the times and the realistic picture of the works. In recent years, some of the good network novels have become the highlights of network literature, in which there are some phenomena that we should ponder.

In the practice of creation, as a popular aesthetic network literature is always looking for its own positioning. As a concept proposed in recent years, "hard core", like an internal change from the surface to the inside, has improved the creative realm of online writers, and thus profoundly affected the overall direction of online literature. "Hardcore" refers to the precise descriptions and vivid details that attract readers and infect them. Empathy is a necessary condition for "hard core". The "hard core" even involves our knowledge and understanding of a certain field, covering the level of authenticity, inspiration, etc. It is an important symbol of the quality of online literature.

"Different types of online literature have their own "hardcore" characteristics, which also shows the colorful creative personality of online writers. If the "hard core" of online science fiction refers to the fact that the writer's imagination should be based on scientific principles, then the "hard core" of realistic online fiction mainly depends on the degree and breadth of the work's arrival at the truth. The truth here of course does not mean realistic truth but artistic truth. At the root, if there is a lack of "hard core", it is difficult to establish the pioneering nature of network literature. For example, the series of industrial novels "Industrial Overlord", "Big Country Heavy Industry" and "Material Empire" have set a benchmark for industrial online novels by replacing the "hard core" with the "cool" model. In the field of science fiction, the use of "hard core" is more common. For example, "The Arcane Throne" uses quantum theory to structure the fantasy world to promote the development of science and technology industry; "The Black Technology System of the Scholar" uses the guidance of the system to continuously study and research, overcome various scientific problems, and finally reach the peak of science.

Classical lifestyle novels also gain narrative energy in the "hard core". Each dish has its origin and each banquet has its allusion. The work is characterized by great justice, loyalty, rigor and meticulousness, supplemented by a rich storyline and complex character growth process, showing the charm of online literature "hard core". In the process of the development of online literature, it is important to note that the Internet has become a major source of information about the Internet. In the evolution of network literature, "hardcore" has gradually become a literary temperament, making the works both strongly networked and with a strong sense of life.

Literature needs bones and strength, no matter what kind of creative techniques are used, flesh and blood characters and typical environment can not be invented out of thin air, these literary elements must echo with the reader's mind in order to generate empathy. This shows that the concept of "hard core" of network literature is completely similar to the traditional literature that literature comes from life and writers must go deep into life to get creative inspiration. The structure and setting of online novels may be completed by writing experience, but the key bridge and reversal of the story, if you want to get recognition, the details of the "hard core" is a necessary condition. By extension, without a rich life and artistic heritage, without the knowledge of the regularity of the development of the times, trying to derive virtual reality into a warm story scene is tantamount to cooking without rice. From the surface, the so-called network literature "hard core" is only in the life of the creative resources, and into its depths will find that the only way to produce better artistic effect is to have a deep humanistic heritage as support.

Network literature in recent years, the phenomenon of "landing", realistic themes are strongly advocated, showing the trend of moving down the brush, reflecting different industries, focusing on grassroots realism, eulogizing ordinary heroes. These works focus on the details of the "hard-core" settings, making the story realistic, vivid characters. For example, the medical novel "The Great Physician", the urban novel "The Heavenly Worker", and the firefighting novel "He Came from the Fire" are works with details that can stand up to scrutiny. Thus, the so-called "hard-core" novels are narrative works that objectively and calmly observe and describe life, reveal the essence of life, and pursue the objective truth of things with a strong professional standard.

On the storytelling level, "hardcore" is a technical tool that shows the power and high-end of the knowledge spectrum, but in fact its inner power is much greater than its outer performance. The spiritual quality that knowledge-enabled narrative adds to the work expands the boundaries of online literature. Through the whimsy of online literature, it connects with the ever-changing changes of the times, realizes the liberation of humanistic spirit in the virtual world, and thus realizes the "hard core" of the spiritual realm. As online literature enters the stage of ecological diversification, "hardcore" novels with difficult narratives as the main feature may be the main way to fine network literature. Obviously, network literature is absorbing the rigorous character of traditional literature that is close to reality and truly reflects the life of the times, and constantly forging itself through "hardcore" and other techniques, showing its all-embracing aesthetic characteristics of popular literature, and merging into the trend of contemporary literature with the diversity and richness of subject matter and its own plasticity.
