In recent decade, Chinese Internet novels have been popular, attracting readers all over the world. Taking the novel Dragon Prince Yuan (DPY) selected on the most popular Internet novel list in 2020 (Overseas) as an example, this paper explores the reasons for the popularity of Chinese Internet novels and readers’ acceptance. It is found that the novel DPY has been widely read and favored thanks to the presentation of typical Chinese elements, concise translation and the mature novel production system. The implications are expected to provide some reference for promoting and disseminating more Chinese Internet novels to go global.
