Normally, using an iPad to publish a novel in the background was not feasible because the iPad did not have the ability to interact with the Internet connection and server. If you wanted to publish a novel in the background, you needed to use a computer or server and use relevant software or tools to achieve it. The specific steps were as follows: 1. Create a novel creation platform such as Tangyuan Creation, Mi Gu, and register an account. 2. After logging in, select the "Create" option to enter the novel creation page. 3. On the page, you can choose the theme, style, characters, and other elements of the novel and add text content. 4. After completing the text content, you can click the "publish" button to publish the novel on the platform. After 5 is published, the platform will automatically forward the novel link to the server and generate a release log. On the server, you can use the relevant tools to edit, review, publish, and other operations of the novel. You can also use the online reading service to obtain the full text of the novel. It was important to note that publishing a novel in the background required a certain level of technical ability and a deep understanding of the network and servers. If these conditions were not met, it might affect the creation and publication of the novel.
