Some online novel reading websites provided a pre-reading function to allow users to read the chapter content in advance. This feature, commonly known as "pre-reading" or "previewing," allowed the user to focus more on the main plot while reading the novel and avoid waiting for the entire chapter to load. For example, on some novel reading websites, users can choose the "pre-read" option and then select the chapter to be pre-read. The chapter will be pre-loaded in the browser's buffer, allowing users to quickly pre-read the chapter content to better understand the novel plot. There were also novel websites that offered a "preemptive reading" function that allowed users to read unpublished chapters of novels in advance. This function usually required a user to register an account on the website and to purchase the novel's content. It should be noted that some novel websites may have copyright issues. Using the pre-reading or preemptive reading function requires compliance with the corresponding laws and regulations.
