Is it okay to add an omake at the end of a chapter

[CrimsonGenius]

Or extra content after the chapter that you could not add to the chapter because it could ruin the flow of the story

Yep. @Paytoechip does it all of the time.

I've recently gotten into the habit of adding lore/fun fact blurbs at the end of my story. They're fun to write and they build the world. Meh readers love em.

Definitely. A lot of people like to read an author's thoughts or any helpful info that makes the characters seem more rounded. I've stuck everything from world lore to translations to random stuff.

 

[K5Rakitan]

Yes, do what you want!

 

[TsumiHokiro]

Yes.

I use footnotes for extra lore. that way it doesn't break the flow of the story while still being in the relevant location.

What's an omake?

 

[Goodmann]

Just don't feel you have to every time, or it'll get to be a pain in the tush, especially if you aim for humor.

It would depend on how long your chapters are and how long the omakes are.

Also depends on what kind of story it is. Generally the more light hearted the story is the less likely it's going to harm the story. If your characters are in the midst despair cutting away from that for something more light hearted it might ruin the feeling it's going for.

I write codex chapters for extra lore when I feel like it, so go wild.

Every single chapter. It’s fun and breaks tension.
