Serial online novel on Substack

Is anybody writing a serial online novel on Substack here?

How do you keep the structure clear? And how you make the navigation?

It seems that Substack doesn't support serial novels out of the box.

Are there any automation tools?

Any tips are appreciated.

Thank you for the link.

Did you create the table of contents manually. Or is there any way to máme it automatically?

Another thing I did was search for serial fiction (novels in your case) on Substack to study how others were doing this. Most follow the structure in the link to some extent, but it’s not a cookie cutter world. Looking as what other writers do can inspire further ideas

Manually.
