It was up to the author and the publishing house to decide whether the novel could be published or not. In some cases, the publishing house may impose a time limit on the length of the novel, such as a certain number of words per day or week, or a certain frequency of updates. If the novel stopped updating, the author had to immediately re-publish the new chapter to maintain the readers 'interest. However, a two-day break did not necessarily mean that the novel would be banned from being published. In some cases, the author could choose not to abide by the rules of the publishing house and choose to publish a new chapter after two days. In this case, the author had to bear the risk of losing his or her readers. Therefore, whether the novel could not be published for two days depended on the decision of the author and the publishing house. If the author of the novel decided to republish a new chapter and the publishing house allowed this to happen, then the novel could be published.
