请阅读下面短文，并按要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
On the subway in Beijing, most people stare at their smartphones. Some play video games or watch TV dramas, while some choose to read.
Online novels are popular among these readers. In fact, more people are becoming registered users on online literature websites or smartphone applications. The total number of online literature website users had increased to over 500 million by the end of November 2018, according to a report from China Internet Network Information Center. This shows half of all netizens are online literature readers.
Many scholars estimate the number will keep increasing at an annual rate of tens of millions. Yet the fast growth due to the widespread adoption of the Internet and smartphones in the past 20 years was criticized by some writers as disorder. As the number of online literature works increases, some vulgar (低俗的) online novels have appeared. Ning Ken, the top prize winner of the First Online Literature Contest, said online literature needs guidance. “I think it should be something of high quality, rather than just a sort of entertainment. Its quality should be improved, ”said the writer.
