Under normal circumstances, a novel published online could be submitted directly to a publishing house. However, before submitting to the publishing house, it was best for the author to make sure that the work had received enough recognition and praise from the readers to avoid the situation of the publishing house rejecting the work. In addition, if the work has already received a certain response on the online platform, it may be necessary to make appropriate modifications to the work when submitting it to the publishing house to ensure that it meets the requirements for publication. Therefore, the author needed to seriously consider whether to submit the work to the publishing house at the same time and ensure that the work had received sufficient recognition.
