One way to tell is when you've reached the conclusion you planned from the start and all the main plot points and character arcs have been resolved. Also, if you can't think of anything else substantial to add without it feeling forced or unnecessary, that's a sign it's done.
When you have a sense of closure, when the characters' journeys have reached a natural and satisfying end, and when you can't find any more plot holes or areas that need further development, then your novel is likely finished.
You'll know your novel is finished when you feel the story has reached a natural conclusion and all the plot points and character arcs have been properly resolved.
You'll know your novel is ready when you feel it's well-structured, the plot makes sense, and the characters are fully developed.
You know it's time to stop when you feel the story flows smoothly and there are no major plot holes or grammar mistakes that stand out.
It depends on the platform. Some social media or content sharing platforms have a notification or log that shows when someone viewed your story. But not all do. So, it's best to explore the settings and features of the specific platform you used.
When a novel was being updated, it would usually indicate the progress of the update in the chapter title or tag. After the update was completed, the reader could check the chapter list of the novel and determine whether the novel was completed according to the chapter title or label. In some cases, the author may release some additional content before the end of the novel. These additional content may be called "additional content","continuation" or "afterword". In this case, the reader might not be able to determine whether the novel has ended by reading the chapter title or tag. The final confirmation of the end of the novel usually needed to be completed by reading the entire novel.
It's a tricky one. Usually, you should end your story when all the main plot points have been resolved and the characters have reached a significant point of growth or closure.
After it's done, you could take a break and then come back to it with fresh eyes for a final review. You could also start planning your next story based on what you learned from this one.
Yes, it is. I managed to complete the writing process and I'm quite satisfied with the outcome.
You might get notifications or see view counts if the platform provides them. That's one way to tell.
Well, usually you don't get a direct notification. But sometimes, if it's on a specific platform that has such a feature, you might be informed.
