Features: As a paper-based publication that primarily features online texts, Network Literature, being a completely unprecedented endeavor, left us with some ideas in terms of positioning and style, but the actual operation still involved hesitation and uncertainty. From the varying focuses of the previous issues, readers can easily perceive this subtle mood. Of course, the changes in the book's exterior design are more apparent, reflecting a pursuit of perfection, especially for this novel genre called Network Literature. In fact, after a series of trials and explorations, we feel fortunate that we are gradually becoming clearer about what we should do. After this issue of Network Literature, the publication will appear before readers in the form of "Annual Network Literature Selections." Given the ever-changing and rapidly updated nature of online literary posts, allowing time to settle before selecting is a wise approach. Moreover, it aligns more with our purpose—to provide readers with the most impactful network literary works. As the saying goes, editing is a matter of regrets. Especially in modern large-scale production that increasingly relies on collaboration across departments, any lapse in any can significantly compromise the quality of a product, and this is particularly true for readers. In terms of content, there is still room for improvement and refinement. We look forward to the participation of our readers to make the annual network literature selections even better.
