I laughed so hard! -- Mainly because I agree with every single point you made.

Alright. My apologies for being rude as well.

Actually it is. I'm asking about an author's readership; Hans.Trondheim's readership. Or rather, I was teasing Hans.Trondheim about their readership. Turns out, his readers are middle-school to early high school kids. There is only One reason for short chapters on web novel sites: Posting...

Yup, I did. Thanks for catching that. There was a goalpost? What are you saying? The entire post is about Authors and choosing whether or not they want to cut chapters into tiny 1000k bits. My take is that 1000k is too small for a chapter, especially for those who read for pleasure, and yours...

Not True. -- Readers learn from every book they read -- as do writers. For example, because so many Translated stories are being cut down into 1000k chapters to rush posting, readers are learning to accept this as a Norm. Sadly, writers are picking up this trend too -- which is Why your post...

Quick reading on public transport, or during a break between classes is an Excuse -- not a Reason. I'm from the era before web-novels existed. I had no problem reading paperbacks on the bus, the train, and during class. Popping in a bookmark then opening the book where I left off is easy and...

Your readers can't digest 4000 to 6000 words chapters in one sitting? -- What are they? Middle-school kids? If they don't have the patience to read longer chapters, they're probably not old enough to be on this site, and shouldn't be reading your stuff to begin with. NO. Chopping full sized...

Thank you! Are you serious? I can't stand watching those because they're too short. It's like eating a cookie or one potato chip when I want a meal. BTW, the average TV commercial is longer than a TicTok video! Not true. It's just that "violence, sex, and fluff drugs" seems to be the only...

Sadly, that is very, very true. The problem with this is, keeping the Readers' interest long enough to get to the next chapter, then the next, and the next -- until the story is Complete. Think: How much story can you tell in 1500 words, seriously? Can you make that chapter so fascinating...

Some of the stories on sites like RR also make you pay per chapter. Shorter chapters = More Money per story. On almost every pay-per-chapter story I've read, it's painfully obvious that most of those chapters were originally Longer and clearly Cut then posted piece by piece. As far as I see...

For published novels, 2500 to 3000 is the preferred length, according to my editor. For POSTED Online Chapters, I personally prefer longer chapters; 3000 to 5000 words, simply because there is a time lag between chapters. In the period of time between chapters; a week, a month, years, most...

Your Journalistic/Essay/Report writing is showing: The mans eyes snapped open (effect) as the brick was thrown through his window (cause). When writing an Essay, or reading a Report in the News, What Happened is the first thing that gets mentioned because What Happened is the most Important...

Here: [Tutorial] Tricks to Tight 'Sneaky' DESCRIPTION Specifically: Scenery Every new scene should open with a snapshot of description that details the stage the action is about to happen in. No more than 60 words max. If you need more than that to describe your setting, splice it into your...

Believe me IT SHOWS. It is a published series -- a children's book series meant for middle-school boys translated from Japanese, a language that doesn't have adjectives at the middle-school level of that language. (You know, the words needed for description?) There's also a manga series, and...
