Popular literature is not bad literature, its standard does not lie in its inability to meet the demands of criticism, but on what benefits it gives to the reader. The study of popular literary structures is not important and interesting because the formulas of popular literary structures have definite and consistent criteria. However, popular sociological literary research provides another important and interesting possibility. The sociological facets of popular literature both inside and outside of the text are vast areas of literary research and have a wide range of issues. The production, distribution, and reception aspects are the areas of popular literary research outside the text whose phenomenon is constantly evolving. The social aspect in the text is the area of literary research that has unlimited problems as the object of research material, in line with the productivity of popular literature writing which is very high and fast. Popular literature as an object of research is very rich in materials and data, especially sociological materials and data that are closely related to social issues, both in the text and outside the text. The quality of literary research is actually not determined by the object of research material, but is determined by the formal object and the proper cultivation of its research and the use of appropriate theories and methods so as to produce original, important, and useful findings for the sciences and society.

Since the growth of the Indonesian press industry in the 1970s, popular novels have been carried away by the rapid development of the mass media world. Because, there are facts and data that most of Indonesia's popular novels were originally published as serials in newspapers and magazines. Convincingly people can classify certain novels into groups of literary novels or popular novels. The reasons that are subjective are not appropriate to be used as a criterion for determining certain novels as serious (literary) novels or popular novels, because the considerations used are only based on personal perception. Of course it is scientifically less accountable, because it is not based on clear theories and methods, for example by looking at intrinsic and extrinsic structures, or also its sociological aspects. Therefore, an inventory of the intrinsic features of popular novels is very important. These characteristics include romantic-sentimental, love and household themes, single channel, straight channeling, contemporary dialogue, physical background of a rich family environment, educated family, campus, spectacular and explosive disposition, anti-double meaning, no need for aesthetic understanding .
