There were many ways to publish an original novel, depending on the genre and style of the novel. Generally speaking, you can publish your original novel in the following places: 1. Online literature platforms: Online literature platforms were the main places to publish novels, such as Qidian Chinese Network, Xiaoxiang Academy, and tencent literature. These platforms provided a wealth of writing tools and editing services to help authors better publish their novels. 2. The publishing house: If you want to publish the novel as a book, you can contact the publishing house to submit the manuscript. The publishing house would review and edit the novel before publishing it as a book for sale. 3. Social media: You can post your novel on social media platforms such as Weibo, WeChat, TikTok, etc. These platforms allowed free publishing and sharing of novels, but they also needed to carry out certain promotions and publicity in order to gain more readers. 4. Personal blog: You can create a personal blog and post your novel on it. Personal bloggers usually have more freedom but need to bear more costs of SEO and publicity. It was important to note that before publishing a novel, one needed to understand the copyright protection policies of the region and ensure that the novel complied with relevant laws and regulations.
