Hey guys, a reader sent me a pm on discord and asked me to shorten the chapters to make the story advance faster, while at the same time another reader told me to write longer chapters because he liked the story but he found it frustrating to 'not have enough materials to describe everything in the current scene' (his own words).
If one of you could read my novel (I just released ch.14 so you don't have to spend hours to read everything) and give me an objective review about the pace of the story I would appreciate it.
I tried different word counts from less than 2000 to more than 3000, and for now I feel the most comfortable between 2500 and 3000 words. It gives me enough time to describe a whole scene and prepare what happens next while still not writing a chapter too long and boring.
I understand the people who prefer shorter chapters with fewer details so the story can advance faster, but I'm at a loss when receiving such different opinions at the same time and I don't know who to listen to.
Having a bunch of honest reviews from the forum would help me greatly, as by gathering more reviews about the pace of the story I might be able to decide what to do for the next chapters.
Thanks !
