It's not easy to publish a novel online. It requires a lot of time and energy and may cost a lot of money. In the traditional publishing model, the author had to buy the copyright of the book and then publish it and set a price. This required a lot of money and might need to go through multiple stages such as the publishing company, editors, and reviewers before it could be completed. However, if a novel was published online, it could be created and published independently. This meant that they could set their own prices, sell their own products, and freely choose their own co-authors according to their own ideas and creativity. However, there were certain risks in publishing novels online. Because the authenticity of information on the Internet is difficult to guarantee, it may be pointed out by editors, reviewers, readers, etc. to be wrong or insufficient. If the quality of the work was not high or did not receive enough recognition and traffic, it might lead to insufficient income or profits. Therefore, publishing novels online required a certain amount of investment and risk, but it could also bring greater returns and freedom. Whether they were willing to try it or not depended on their interests, abilities, and actual situation.
