How did the novel get published?

A novel's serialisation referred to the gradual development of a story on a novel website in a constantly updated form. The advantage of a novel being serialised was that it could keep the readers focused on the story and attract more readers to read the novel. There were usually several ways to publish a novel: 1. Release on novel websites: The novel can be published on novel websites such as Qidian Chinese Network, Xiaoxiang Academy, etc. When publishing, one had to choose the serial mode and set the number of chapters to be serialized and the frequency of updates. 2. Self-upload: The author of the novel can upload the serial chapters of the novel on his own blog, social media, or other platforms and manage the progress of the serial and reader feedback. 3. Co-publishing: The author of the novel can collaborate with the novel website to publish the novel on the novel website. The cooperation methods usually included sharing or free distribution. When publishing a novel, the author had to pay attention to the frequency of updates, the appeal of the story, and the feedback of readers to attract readers and maintain a good order of the series.
