We all like our beloved work to never end, sort of.
But lately, I am feeling burnouts just from reading works like Oracle Paths up to 500 chapters. I probably did it wrong by binging all the chapters, but I think I finally understand the true reason, it is bullshittery. The few paragraphs below are examples.
Oracle Paths with Jake getting blueballed by the chinese chick, the blonde party bitch, his nugget porn soul mate who now grew limbs and is pulling a Kait Diaz and the fucking Cortana is par for the course and him now dealing with slavers who commit **** (rape, ffs) is fine and dandy, a tad long winded with the drama llama larping about gods who are not gods and shits that are most definitely shits.
I can stand Omnipresent God of War (good until 800++) for the whole bioscience BS as the author turns the work from xianxia-ish to xuanhuan. Then came the taoist gods and I said fuck.
The same with Randidly... go to nether battlefield with his skeletor and treant avatars as he BDSM snuff his emerald fire, which turns out to represent his fiery attitude.
Kaito died in Shirlatoon's work.
Grid becomes Gary Stu.
The bullshittery list goes on as I whine, cry like a bitch and drop them out of my reading list because either they deviate too far or remain a bore too long.
So I think to myself, maybe it is the length of the chapters that caused the authors to fuck up?
Tldr: what is the optimal chapter for a proper ARC? Because it is hard to determine how the entire work gets fucked up, I just want to see how an arc is affected by amount of chapters.
Ps. Andur's works used to be fun, then he continued to be on that train for too long and got shitfucked.
