Something I've noticed from reading the reviews from the comment sections in some novels is that some readers were able to read chapters that hasn't been released yet? I'm pretty sure I'm asking something dumb but how are you already able to read chapter 170 when the available translation is only till chapter 37?? Do ya'll either MTL them or read the raws or is there some function in novelupdates that I'm missing out on??? Huhuu I really wanna know cause I've been so confused (இдஇ; )
Some read MTL via google/Bing translations while some read can read in original language of novel. Rest Assured ,There is no secret stash of translated chapters.
You can change the chapter number when you make a review! I mean, you can just type it. So, who posts reviews for chapters that are not yet translate usually read the raws or did an MTL of the novel
Like what the above people said, they either read the raws or mtl. But on webnovel the locked chapters aren't put on nu so there might be more chapters "freely" available then what nu has listed. But you need an account and to accumulate free passes or pay money for these chapters, which is why they aren't listed on nu
Patron exclusive or mtl translations. There are quite a few mtl websites like comrademao, jpmtl, or mtlnovels. Do note that reading them can be quite confusing and give you a headach. Some of them are not completely post on the mtl sites too
To find the where to need just needs you to type the novel name on google and you can get that novel to read for free. Don't know if this knowledge violates any rules of forum. Be sure to reply me if this breaks some rules. Only for webnovel chaps, rest are probably on patreon

In addition to the ones listed above, there are also translation that were deleted but people still read them before they were and chapters hidden behind paywalls.
