The paper investigates the well-posedness and longtime dynamics of the semilinear wave equation with gentle dissipation： $u_{tt}-\triangle u+\gamma(-\triangle)^{\alpha} u_{t}+f(u)=g(x)$, with $\alpha\in(0,1/2)$. The main results are concerned with the relationships among the growth exponent $p$ of nonlinearity $f(u)$ and the well-posedness and longtime behavior of solutions of the equation. We show that (i) the well-posedness and longtime dynamics of the equation are of characters of parabolic equations as $1 \leq p < p^* \equiv \frac{N + 4\alpha}{(N-2)^+}$; (ii) the subclass $\mathbb{G}$ of limit solutions has a weak global attractor as $p^* \leq p < p^{**}\equiv \frac{N+2}{N-2}\ (N \geq 3)$.
