I'm just someone who likes reading novels, so I can't provide any specific information about the novel. However, according to my knowledge of online literature, this novel may have been published and serialised on different websites or platforms. You can search for relevant websites or platforms to read it. As for whether the novel was updated or not, it could be due to the complexity of the plot and the length of the story. The author might have encountered some difficulties in the process of writing, or the progress was not ideal enough, so the novel could not be completed in one go. It was common for some authors to pause or restart writing another novel after finishing a novel due to other work or personal reasons. As for the author's situation, it was recommended to search social media or forums related to the novel to learn about the author's recent situation and the latest developments. Some authors might post their progress and plans on platforms such as blog, Weibo, Weixin Official Accounts. You can also check the relevant novel platforms.
