That bit.ly link is probably just a tracker or a redirect to some aggregator site that reposts content without permission. Those places rarely have reliable update schedules—they just scrape whatever the original publisher puts out, sometimes with a delay of days or weeks. If you want the latest chapters for anything named Gerald, you need to find the official source. Is it on Webnovel, Scribble Hub, or maybe a self-published Amazon Kindle story? The update frequency changes completely based on that.
I'd ignore the link and try to identify the actual title. Search for a distinctive phrase from the description or the first chapter. Once you find the real platform, you can usually follow or subscribe for update notifications. Those redirect links are more trouble than they're worth, and half the time they lead to security warnings in my browser anyway.
Okay, so I actually clicked that exact link last week because a friend shared it in a Discord server. It took me to a site called 'NovelFull' or something similar, hosting a story titled 'Gerald's Return: The Alpha's Redemption'. Sounded like a typical werewolf romance. The update situation was chaotic—the site listed it as 'ongoing' with 120 chapters, but the last update was three months old. No way to tell if it was abandoned or just slow.
I got curious and reverse-searched a line from chapter one. Turns out the original is on GoodNovel, updated weekly, and it's actually called 'Gerald's Redemption' without the 'Alpha' part. The aggregator site had ripped an old version and hadn't synced. So the link you have is probably outdated. If you're invested, the effort to find the official app is worth it. You get correct chapter counts, maybe some coins to unlock later parts, and consistent notifications. Those bit.ly redirects are like digital breadcrumbs that often lead to a stale loaf.
I tried checking that bit.ly link out of curiosity, but it just redirected to a general webnovel hosting site with a ton of pop-ups. The name 'Gerald' is way too common to track without more specifics—is it a romance lead, a fantasy warrior, some CEO? It might be 'Gerald's Obsession' or something from Wattpad? Updates for those kinds of stories are totally dependent on the author's upload schedule on platforms like Inkitt or Dreame, not the link itself.
Honestly, those shortened links are a mess for tracking. They often break or lead to mirrored sites that scrape content. If you found the story through social media, the original poster might have mentioned the platform. My method is to search the exact title plus 'novel updates' in quotes. Sometimes you get lucky on NovelUpdates(dot)com if it's a translated work, but for original English stuff, it's a platform hunt. I ended up wasting twenty minutes before giving up; the link felt dead.
Maybe ask in the forum where you got it? Someone might know the real source. I've had better luck just browsing the 'Recently Updated' lists on the big apps lately.
Without the full novel title, that bit.ly is a dead end. It could point to any number of sites that mirror content. Your best move is to screenshot the description from the link page and run a search on a few major platforms. Update frequency is all over the place—some daily, some monthly. If the story is completed, the link might just be a full archive. Hard to say more without the specific source.
Links like that never give clear update info. It's just a doorway. Find the real title, then check Novel Updates or the app's library directly. If the story is ongoing, the author's note at the end of the latest chapter usually says when the next one is due. Sometimes they post schedules on Patreon. Short links are useless for tracking.

Uptil the age of 9, Roselia had lived the life every child dreamed of, a loving father, mountains of toys and dollhouses and whatever else that she desired. But her world came crashing down when her father died all of a sudden.
Then Roselia runs away from her home at the age of 12 for reasons that would haunt her forever. She gets on a train and travels to a different state which is when she is rescued by a man.
Little does she know that the man, Derek Clifford, is the heir to the ‘Cliffords dynasty’, a billionaire family, known for masquerading their money source as a ‘family business’. But the biggest revelation awaits Roselia at the Clifford mansion… that the person responsible for her father’s ‘unexpected death’ might just be a very important member of the Clifford’s family.
Just then, Derek leaves to go overseas.
6 years later
What Roselia hadn’t expected was that her love for the man who saved her life 6 years ago might just get in the way of her exacting revenge as she stays in the Cliffords mansion in the guise of a chef.
Derek Clifford had not ever dreamed that he would fall in love. Power was all he had ever desired. That is until his cold grey eyes latched onto the all-grown Roselia and his carefully-knit life comes falling apart. But deep down perhaps he had known that it wasn’t just moral obligation that had made him so fiercely protective of her back in the past.
Unfortunately for Roselia, Derek has a dark side to him, a side he never wanted to reveal to her. Would she run or would she stand with him? Would Derek even let her go? Could he?

After his death, Earth becomes a lonely ghost. After travelling the whole world listlessly, he returns to his grave in Thailand.

But one day, Pete suddenly came to the grave alone in tears. He sees Earth and hugs him.
Their own unexpected love story began from that one hug.
Honestly, I hit that same wall last month trying to read 'Gerald Links.' The URL shortener just dumped me on a page with the first few chapters free, then a hard paywall. I assumed it was a scam, but digging deeper, it seems like it’s actually a funnel for an app called NovelToon or something similar? The full unlock method is inside their app ecosystem.
You download their app, and the bit.ly link basically acts as a referral. The chapters are unlocked using a 'pass' system—daily check-ins get you a few free passes, or you watch ads. For the whole book at once, it's a premium coin purchase. It felt convoluted, and the translation quality took a nosedive after chapter 15, so I dropped it. The whole experience made me miss straightforward ebook stores.
So you’re looking for that specific shortened link? I’ve seen a few forums mention that. The original link it points to tends to change or get taken down pretty often. Usually, these 'baca novel' shortlinks lead to third-party aggregator sites in Indonesian that host unofficial translations. It’s a messy ecosystem.
What I’d suggest is trying a direct search for the novel’s title plus the author’s name, maybe with 'read online' in quotes. You’re more likely to find the actual source site that way, which might be more stable. The shortlink is just a doorway, and doors can close. I once followed one for a different novel and landed on a site that was just plastered with redirect ads—couldn’t even read a paragraph. Realistically, if the link’s dead, you’re better off looking for the novel on a platform like Wattpad or Webnovel to see if it’s been officially serialized there, even if it’s not free. The free aggregator route is always a game of whack-a-mole.
Look, I actually tried finding Gerald stuff recently—went down a whole rabbit hole. That specific bit.ly link just redirects to a webnovel platform from what I can tell, and those platforms almost never offer direct PDFs or EPUBs for download. They want you stuck in their app or site for the ad revenue or coin system.
If Gerald's what I'm thinking—that one fantasy series that got popular on social media a while back—the author mostly serializes it on one of those freemium sites. Sometimes fans scrape the text and make unofficial PDFs floating around on forums or shady download hubs, but the formatting is usually terrible, missing chapters, or full of typos.
Honestly, my take is if you really want it in ebook format for your Kindle or something, your best chance is checking if the author ever compiled it for sale on Amazon Kindle or Google Play Books. Some webnovel authors do that once a story finishes. Otherwise, you're probably reading it chapter-by-chapter online, which is how most of these stories are designed to be consumed anyway.
