With Novel Web
Novel can be used with or without Novel Web. However, If you would like to use it with Novel Web, or if you have used the express installation method; you would have Novel Web inside your /web
directory.
Normally, the software would be able to detect if this is inside that directory.
But if you would want to deploy Novel Web separately into Vercel, like the tutorial below

As long as Novel Web is inside the /web
directory, Novel API will make sure it will serve it in the same host as the API.
No additional set up is required.
