It is usually considered an act of copyright violation to continue writing a novel without the author's consent. This was because the continuation of a novel was essentially an extension of the original work. If the continuation was not approved by the author of the original work, it would constitute a copyright violation of the original work. In many countries, copyright law provides that the author has exclusive control over the copyright of his work. This means that only the author has the right to modify, adapt, continue, or translate his work and must obtain the author's explicit permission. If you continue to write without the author's consent, you may face legal disputes and penalties. Therefore, continuing to write a novel required respect for the copyright of the original work and the author's permission. If you continue to write without the author's consent, it may constitute an act of copyright violation and you will have to bear the corresponding legal responsibility.
