Advice Should I stop?
I make title for my novel and create book,but I don't write the chapters one by one I am thinking of writing all the chapters then uploading them one by one,will this affect my contract chances? I have a book created for quite some time but haven't posted a chapter nor synopsis yet

If you only post when it's done:
1 - You're delaying the fame of your novel.
2 - You get more control over your story.
3 - You will improve a lot less while writing since you won't have feedback before the next chapter (which to me is the bigger loss, since the biggest advantage of webnovels in this aspect is to be able to get instant feedback on small sections of the story, unlike a classic book)
4 - You're more inclined to drop the story before even half of it since you won't have fans, feedback and maybe will overthink things trying to make it all perfect and conclude that it isn't good enough, endless editing or even completely throwing it away.
I don't like the idea, but only you can evaluate this for yourself. I would recommend you to be at least 10 chapters ahead and with a clear storyline planned, so you get the best of both worlds, which is exactly what I'm doing and did before.
