Abstract
Online story platforms reinforce cybernetic literary practices and serve as a symbol of the online story community's emergence. Many online platforms encourage readers to form an online community between authors and readers in an inclusive environment; cybernetic literary practices also incorporate a sense of social acquaintance. This study aims to investigate the participation of 46 Indonesian university students from North Sumatera who have become active readers on the online storytelling platform. We distributed the questions to the students to gain insight into their reading preference and cybernetics literacy practice. The study's findings revealed that students' practice centered more on rating the stories than commenting on them. However, once the students decided to engage with the comments, they improved well in their cybernetics literary practice. Online interactions, such as commenting and engaging in the narrative construction process, have the potential to foster robust online communities, thereby instilling students with a sense of autonomy, genuineness, and inclusion.
