The reason why the novel was updated but the readers could not see it was because of the following situations: The novel was not updated on social media platforms. The novel updates were usually done on novel websites or reading applications rather than social media platforms. If the novel was not updated to social media platforms, readers might find that they could not see the new chapters. 2. The novel has not been released after the update. After the novel was updated, the author would usually publish a new chapter on the official website or reading app. If readers saw a new chapter on social media platforms but didn't see it on the official website or reading app, they might be disappointed. 3. The reader's device does not support updates. Some readers might notice that they can't see new chapters on social media platforms because their devices don't support updates. For example, some mobile applications may not be able to update automatically or readers may need to manually update the application. If readers can't see the novel update, they are advised to contact the author or the reading application administrator to see if they have any solutions.
