Or more specifically how often do you make new paragraphs with you wrote your novel.
Novels are massive blocks of text, but usually divided it into multiple paragraphs when the story veered into a different topic, timeframe, and other factors. But how often is a matter of preference.
Do you usually wrote like:
I usually go for the middle option, maybe breaking things into smaller paragraphs if it's an action scene where from the character's pov things moved quickly and don't have time to monologues on one topic for too long without getting themselves killed (Unless they're a spectator)

So I walked on the sidewalk and going about my day seeing that for whatever reason the cars seems to be speeding up. I don't think there's anything particularly special about today to warrant people speeding like they're on a race track, maybe everyone collectively overslept and running late to their jobs, or something is going wrong with the world today. How in the world should I know? It definitely feels like someone is gonna get into an accident with everyone speeding around like delinquents. Seriously it doesn't feel safe at all despite not intending on crossing the road with how fast they're driving around like there's no speed limit. Is there no speed limit sign around here or something? I know this is a little backwater town but there are still roads and shite and it's not like this is a lawless place as far as I know. Whoa! Think I saw... What the hell that guy's head is ripped cleaned off after tripping down the road and got his head ran over by a speeding car, which I'm pretty sure that 'tripping' was him getting shot in the head then falling down said road and got his head crushed. What has this world came to? Seriously. It feels like everything has gone down hill as time passes. Haven't we had a pretty good track records of advancing our society as a whole since the stone age or whatever? Why is things getting worse in the current age? There's no way of telling without looking at politics and all that nonsense that I honestly have no time for. I'm just someone who wants to take a stroll and breath in fresh air which is probably hoping for too much with how polluted the world is. I just wanna have a nice day off and I just witness a murder! Why can't things just go right for once!? Also the fact that there was a shootout in the local convenience store yesterday is also not helping! Have to go extra far than usual if I wanna get any groceries which is not helping how much of a bad day I am having right now!

I usually go for the middle option, maybe breaking things into smaller paragraphs if it's an action scene where from the character's pov things moved quickly and don't have time to monologues on one topic for too long without getting themselves killed (Unless they're a spectator)
Also breaking into a new paragraph when a character is talking.
Edit: Since my novels are very dialogue heavy its structure is more similar to the third example. It's more like example 2 if there's not a lot of characters talking.
Talk about your paragraphs shenanigans.
