I use in royalroad and in novelupdates the number of chapters (they are called pages on royal road) as an indicator if a novel is going to be dropped after a few chapters or not, and I sort by last update and filter with a given number of chapters, this is with the objective to find new stories but with enough chapters so that the autor feel's like dropping it is a sunk cost, plenty or new stories are dropped after the third chapter or so, and this is my way to filter them.
I feel like this should be an easy feature to implement and that adds quality of life to searches.
