Releasing a novel and putting it on the shelves were two different things.
A novel release referred to the release of the novel's text content on online literature platforms such as Qidian, Genesis Chinese Network, etc. for readers to read. After the novel was published, the author could update the plot and chapters of the novel on the platform and interact with the readers.
Putting a novel on the shelves referred to uploading a novel to a specific chapter catalog on the online literature platform for readers to buy and read. The novel had to meet the platform's requirements such as word count, plot, and so on. It had to go through the platform's review before it could be successfully published. After the novel was published, the author could get more income and reader support on the platform, and at the same time, he could accumulate more writing experience.
It should be noted that different online literature platforms might have different requirements for the publication and listing of novels. Therefore, authors needed to publish and put on the shelves according to the requirements of the platform.
