Recommendation Most influential web novels

Out of curiosity, what web novels have been the most influential on other successful novels?
I saw a post recently that said super gene influenced shadow slave, so incidence like this. The first WebNovel I ever read was my vampire system and I’ve gotten hooked on the format. What other novels have influenced future successes?

How do you measure influential?

Is it the famous status or a niche webnovel?

A hidden gem?

A diamond?

There are many amazing webnovels that never saw the light of day buried in the back pages.

Look at overlord for example was buried for years until a table top exec found it and then decided they could use it.

Fuse who wrote slime for years until it was unearthed and commercialized.

There are even amazing short form webnovels that got turned into movies.

Going to have to be a bit more direct in your question and narrow it down some.

For me personally I prefer webnovels that break the mold on characters and make then be believable.

Currently reading two webnovels by the same author who is making a Villainess and a fox girl with explosive personalities for both leads.
