How long does it usually take for a novel to get approved? I'm waiting on Èr Hā Hé Tā De Bái Māo Shī Zūn (The Husky and His White Cat Shizun) and I'm just wondering if it'll be approved soon or there is something I could do to help.

Does the novel have a physical release published in its country of origin? Of not, the answer is more likely "never".
You all need to watch Nami.

It does, two books released, last one released last year I think. The Chinese version but not the translated version has been released.

In that case, expect months, sometimes years. The approval queue for manga database is a bit... backlogged.
