I'm not sure which novel you're referring to because you didn't provide specific information. However, generally speaking, there were many reasons why novels could not be read, including but not limited to the following: 1. The issue of copyright: The novel may be created by different authors or publishing houses, and the copyright may belong to different owners. If the copyright of the novel was already owned by someone else, the reader could not legally view or share the novel. 2. Content-violation: The novel may contain content that violates laws, regulations, or ethics. If the relevant departments block or prohibit the spread of the content, the reader will not be able to read the novel. 3. Server maintenance: Sometimes the novel website may undergo server maintenance or updates, which may cause the novels on the website to be inaccessible or display abnormally. 4. Network failure: Sometimes, a network failure may cause readers to be unable to access the novel website or read the novel. If you can provide more specific information, I will provide you with a more accurate answer.
