What is a "cell phone novel"?
A cell phone novel is a form of fiction written and published primarily through text messages on mobile phones. Originating in Japan, these novels are usually composed of very short chapters, often written in a casual, conversational tone. Readers receive updates in small installments, and the novels are often shared through online platforms or messaging apps. Cell phone novels tend to focus on themes like romance or drama and are written in a simple style that suits the format.
