AB - This paper presents an empirical study on the formation, development, and dynamics of narrative genres, focusing on the “Napolitan Stories” actively enjoyed in Korean online communities. The genre, which originated by combining various elements found on the internet in Japan and the United States, is now commonly understood as a form of “Rules Horror” - a subgenre of horror fiction characterized by narratives that follow a prescribed set of rules. However, a closer examination of its history and conventions reveals that it is difficult to define the genre in such a limited way. As a result, ongoing debates among its enthusiasts regarding the genre's norms of “ambiguity” and definition continue to arise. Additionally, the incorporation of new elements and the merging and differentiation with adjacent genres further fuel these discussions. This pattern illustrates the dynamics inherent in genre labelling and categorization.
