Many web novels would use the automatic update method, which meant that the author would use software to automatically update the content that had been written to the website while writing. The benefit of doing so was that it allowed authors to better manage their works and also improve the speed of updates and user experience of the website. So when a novel you've read before is being updated, it might be because the author is using an auto-update software to automatically update the content that he has already written to the website to better maintain the speed and quality of the novel's updates. If you try to search for the name of the novel, you may find that the novel you want to read has been updated, but the specific content of the update may not appear in the search results. However, it should be noted that some novels may be updated manually, that is, the author himself uploaded the content to the website and updated it to the latest state. If you find a finished novel and want to see the updated content, you can try searching for the name of the novel or go to the personal center of the novel website to check the author's updates.
