There were several ways to find the end of a novel: 1 Use a novel reader or online reading platform. These platforms usually provide a chapter list and summary to view the entire novel's chapter and ending. 2. Downloading or searching for novel files. You can use a text editor or an e-reader to view the novel files. Usually, the novel file contained the chapter title and the text, and the chapter could be found according to the chapter title and the text. 3. Ask the author of the novel or the author of the novel. They will usually provide an index or a list of chapters to view all the chapters of the novel. Either way, it required some reading experience and skill to find the correct chapter and ending of the novel.
