After describing and understanding the realities of digital and cyberspace, this paper seeks to provide the necessary reasons for designing and expanding the definition of "virtual literary theory" based on scientific bases. The results of this study explain the Definition of virtual literature, origin and causes of the emergence of virtual literature, such as the increase of literary sites and channels, the examination of ordinary and non-professional individuals, and the multimedia content of virtual literature.
