The term " serialize " referred to a method of continuously updating and serializing a novel within a certain period of time. Usually, a novel would be published on a website. The readers could read the previous chapters to understand the development of the story, and the author would constantly update the chapters to keep the story updated and coherent. The plot, characters, and worldview of the novel would constantly change in the series, allowing the readers to understand the story more deeply. This was one of the reasons why many readers enjoyed reading them.
