There are many reasons why mobile novels update slowly: 1. Space limit: mobile novels are usually divided into chapters. Each chapter has a certain length, and the length of the chapter determines the speed of the novel's update. If an author's chapter was longer, the update speed would be relatively slow. 2. Reader's feedback: The feedback from readers also greatly affects the speed at which mobile novels are updated. If the readers were not satisfied with a particular chapter or had any problems with it, the author might need to spend more time revising and clarifying it, which would cause the update speed to slow down. 3. Creation pressure: The creation of mobile novels usually requires the author to spend a lot of time and energy. Therefore, if the author feels that the creation pressure is too great, he may slow down the updating speed of the novel in order to have a better rest and adjustment. 4. The theme and storyline of some novels are more complicated and require the author to dig deeper and modify them. This may also cause the update speed to slow down. 5. Platform Restrictions: Different mobile novel platforms have different restrictions on the speed of novel updates. Some platforms may limit the speed of novel updates to better maintain the order of the platform and user satisfaction. In summary, the speed of updating mobile novels was affected by many factors. Every author and platform had their own actual situation and methods of dealing with it.
