What is pseudo literary?

Pseudo-literary refers to works that imitate or attempt to emulate literature, but fall short of the quality or substance of true literary works. They may be written for commercial or entertainment purposes, rather than for artistic or intellectual value. Pseudo-literary works can also refer to works that falsely claim to be literature or literary in nature, but lack the depth, complexity, and skillful writing style necessary to be considered true literary works. Examples of pseudo-literary works include formulaic romance novels, poorly written young adult fiction, and sensationalized crime stories.
