Abstract	Abstract:- This article discusses how interactive storytelling reshapes narrative practice in digital literature of the 21st century. Beyond the linearities of print, digital platforms like hypertext fiction, video games, web serials, and AR/VR environments introduce nonlinear structures, reader agency, and multimedia immersion. In this way, these developments redefine authorship to distribute narrative control among creators, algorithms, and users while extending possibilities for interpretation via branching pathways and participatory engagement. Simultaneously, interactive forms raise pressing ethical and cultural questions regarding representation, data privacy, accessibility, and ownership. Taking into view exemplary works and theoretical approaches, the article develops the argument that interactive storytelling signifies the transformative evolution of contemporary literature-one that offers unmatched narrative dynamism yet requires responsible and inclusive design with the aim of equitably enabling participation within digital literary culture.
