Abstract:With the rise of online literature platforms, network literature writing based on the platform has gradually developed into a new form of occupation. The emergence of online literature companies and their embedding into the production process of network literature have reconstructed the production logic of online literature. The labor practices of continuation writers employed by the online literature companies, similar to the outsourced digital "OEM"(Original Equipment Manufacturer) of traditional factories, have a dual separation of "concept" and "execution" and "author" and "work", and it is precisely this alternative labor practice that makes continuation writers become "ghost workers" in the production process of online literature. The fl exibility of online writing, the utopian illusion of work freedom, and the representation of fair labor transactions have made online literature writers willing to join the team of hardworking continuation writers. However, all of this cannot conceal the unequal contribution and return of continuation writers, who also face the dual dilemma of damaged interests and blockage of upward mobility
