The order of writing a novel can vary from person to person, but generally speaking, you can serialize it online before submitting it to a publishing house. By serializing the novel online, the readers would be able to see the novel first to increase their popularity and reputation. At the same time, it could also attract more readers to pay attention to the novel and provide feedback and suggestions for the creation of the novel. When submitting to a publishing house, the novel could be adapted into a form suitable for publication, such as a short story collection, a novel, a novel adapted into a movie or television series, and so on. This would allow the publishing house to better understand the novel and provide better publishing suggestions. If he wrote it first and sent it to the publishing house, he might face problems such as delays in publishing time, editing opinions, and so on. These could affect the progress and quality of the novel. Therefore, it was a wiser choice to serialize it online to accumulate reader feedback and reputation.
