What is the difference between a transformation novel and a cross-dressing novel?

It is understood that the so-called "transformation novel" is characterized by the gender change of the hero of the novel because of a certain opportunity. Qidian, a well-known original website of literature in China, recently launched a special topic of "Transformed Novels", including ten novels, such as Transformed Love, Three Thousand Years, Am I Not a Boy, and Alternate Saint, which aroused strong repercussions on the Internet.

Attracting male readers by transforming novels According to the editors of Starting Point Girls' Channel, the works of their main station are mainly aimed at male readers, and their style is very tough, so many works of girls' channels cannot be loved by male users. "But the transformation novel is a very good fusion agent. Wonderful and bizarre storylines can satisfy male readers' reading tastes, such as "The Alternate Saint" by Little Lamb under the Moon, which makes an adventure story in a different world extremely lively from a humorous and interesting perspective; The delicate psychological portrayal can be loved by female readers. For example, Bu Yinzhen's "Treading the Songs" describes the psychological description that the characters have to follow after the gender change, which is reasonable and touching. " Psychological change is the biggest difficulty. The online writer boy is very keen on "transformation novels". When it comes to the highlights of transformation novels, he thinks that the first thing is "embarrassment and jokes". "I think everyone likes to watch other people's embarrassment and jokes. Of course, they are well-intentioned. Naturally, they also like novels in which the protagonist encounters embarrassment and jokes. Among many novels, the embarrassment, jokes and bad luck of the protagonist who turns into a novel are the most."

Cross-dressing novels are simply men changing women and women changing men.
