The length of a book depended on many factors, including the genre of the novel, the complexity of the plot, the feedback from readers, and the author's writing progress. On some online novel platforms, a novel would usually be serialised for a period of time, such as a few months or a few years. The author may update, modify, and serialize new chapters to maintain the interest of readers. In other novels, the novel might be published on multiple websites instead of being published at once like online novels. In this case, the length of the serial might depend on the popularity of the novel on different websites and the speed at which the author updates. The length of a book varied from person to person, and there was no fixed standard.
