The amount of manuscripts that were suitable for writing online novels depended on one's personal experience and target audience. Generally speaking, the number of manuscripts should be enough to cover all aspects of the story, including the plot, characters, background, etc., while ensuring the cohesiveness and integrity of the story. To be specific, the amount of manuscripts should be determined according to the complexity of the story and the target audience. If it was a simple story, then the number of manuscripts could be reduced; if it was a complicated story, then the number of manuscripts should be increased accordingly. In addition, the target audience would also affect the number of manuscripts saved. If the story was targeted at young people, the number of manuscripts could be reduced, and if it was targeted at the elderly, the number of manuscripts could be increased. Generally speaking, it is recommended to save at least the first 80% of a story to ensure that the story will unfold smoothly. In addition, the number of manuscripts should also take into account the editing and publishing process, as well as possible changes and cuts. Finally, it was suggested to set a specific goal of saving manuscripts and then make a plan according to this goal to gradually complete the writing and saving of the story.
