What is Your Longest Story So Far? (Chapter wise)

[Pixytokisaki14]

Just wanted to know what is everyone's Longest series to date. Mine was and still is 97 and counting.

 

[RepresentingEnvy]

65 chapters

 

[RiaCorvidiva]

Around 165 chapters across four books/arcs? No intention of publishing it though. Not good enough quality.

Why'd you think it's not good enough? I wanna try and read it now

85 chapters but the story is longer, just haven't divided the rest up into chapters yet (cause editing sucks).
29 (100k words tho) for a completed and uploaded/published story.

I know the pain of editing. I've been putting up rewriting my chapter 1-10 for months now

It is loaded with infodumping, telling instead of showing, poor pacing, a lackluster style, inappropriate understanding of PoV and narrative voice, and the story and world, while decent IMO, don't make up for the fact that, at the time, I lacked the skill to write that story.

Do you have any plans on rewriting some chapters?

 

[RiaCorvidiva]

It would require, at least for the first two books of the tetralogy, a full rewrite from scratch. Not merely 'some chapters'.

Totally legit. I have been postponing editing for like... a year. I manage to get one chapter done and just lose my will to type (plus life likes to make me its bitch when I set down to write/edit) I'm surprised I don't get hate mail for taking so long at this point.

 

[ParticleOfSand]

160 chapters, 520,000 words

 

[Sleds]

I only have one story and it's 127 chapters so far.

 

[LuoirM]

Can someone bump this post back after 2 years?

Hmm~ i dunno~

 

[RedHunter2296]

A massive 261 chapters, a single novel, 700,000 words, and I can assure you it will go much higher.

In fact, there should be more words because there is also a huge glossary on the side that no one counts.

 

[Comiak]

250 chapters, roughly 650,000 words

 

[Alseki.]

Damn.
Maybe I should not have visited this thread.

 

[Jerynboe]

335 chapters for my first story I ever posted. It was firmly an exercise in just trying to reliably write something, anything, and keep going until it feels done. Meandering horny isekai power fantasy fanfiction and I’m utterly shocked/honored anyone read to the end.

 

[TheEldritchGod]

135/306k
147/250k
76/166k
25/49k
21/36k

Technically, they are all in the same setting and will finally converge in a final trilogy. So... No idea how you want that subdivided.

12. First book. Ongoing.
