作为世界上最大的研究型图书馆之一，大英图书馆收藏了超过 1.7 亿件藏品，包括历史上不同文明的文物。
As one of the largest research libraries in the world, the British Library houses more than 170 million items, including the cultural relics of different civilizations from throughout history. 
其馆藏藏书约1400万本，著名藏品包括《爱丽丝梦游仙境》的原始手稿、莫扎特的音乐手稿、莎士比亚作品的第一对开本等。与16部中国网络文学作品同馆的中文馆，还藏有超450 块中国商朝时期的甲骨，以及被认为可能是世界范围内现存最早的完整印刷书籍《金刚经》等。
Its collection contains 14 million books, along with a vast number of manuscripts and other items, including the original manuscript version of Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland, the original manuscripts of Mozart musical scores, and copies of the First Folio of Shakespeare. In the Chinese collection, people can find more than 450 Chinese oracle bones dating back over three millennia to the Shang Dynasty and the Diamond Sutra, the world's earliest-dated printed book.
大英图书馆会根据读者需求和书籍本身价值贡献等来选择收藏作品，即当下读者想看的书，以及未来很长一段时间对人类文学历史有时代意义的书籍作品。图书馆倾向于收藏反映一个国家或地区的历史、艺术和文化的作品。
这16部中国网络文学作品的入选表明，网络文学已经成为一种重要的当代文化现象。
The British Library selects books based on readers’ requirements and the value of the items — what people want to read and what works are culturally significant. It welcomes items that reflect the history, art and culture of a country or region. The inclusion of the 16 works demonstrates that online literature has become an important contemporary cultural phenomenon.

《将夜》
(Ever Night) 
等10部网络文学作品入藏上海图书馆；2020-2022年，《诡秘之主》
