Imagine not having 50+

@MofoDoggo Depends on how long each chapter is and how long you want your book to be... Typical novels have chapters ranging from 3,000-5,000 words. If you're aiming for the typical length if a novel (70,000-80,000) then I'd imagine you would have around 25-30 chapters. Keep in mind, theres nothing wrong with shorter chapters, but very long chapters can be problematic: people like to have breaks, and may lose interest if the chapter seems to go on forever.

having like 70 chapters each 2-3 pages 😎

I feel like having more than 25 chapters, someone might lose interest.

Also I will be sprinting after I get lunch if people are down

As many as it takes lmao

If your material stays gripping enough, people wont lose interest no matter how many chapters there are in the ned.

If the book is super thick and I don't trust the writer yet, yeah, super long (and even a million chapters, but they're all short) is off putting to me.

Carrion Comfort is a very long book, but I trusted Dan Simmons and I was into the story. I don't think I've met an indie writer who I would trust so much to start the book if it is that long/thick.

Not even Indie specific either, I guess... I just have to really be down for the idea of the book lmao.

I agree with @DisneyChick but really thick books are also really daunting

which is kind of why I tried to keep my first part short so people would get into it

Yeah. Once you've got the readers buy in, they'll agree to a lot more, like be less daunted by large word count.

Just don't go full Stephen King and print bricks.

for real.

Yeah... and especially dont drown the reader in exposition and backstory right at the beginning. Why I can never get past the first chapter with a lot of his books

you mean don't explain all the lore in the first chapter?

Both

Me reading through all my prompts and realizing most are about gruesome murder, kidnapping, and Stockholm syndrome: <:Nervous_Monkey:797288817115267082>

Honestly, I prefer darker stories.

One of my prompts ended in “something something something, stuff happens, people die and are eaten, doggos galore”

I think I have problems <:KEK:795742276549607456> <:Flooshed:797578663083769916>

Naw, we are the ones who have problems XD

People usually write stuff they witnessed.

I never have.

Lmao one of them ended with “yay happy woot woot”

I've been told multiple times in my life that if I wrote my life as a book, no one would believe it.

Lol same

Autobiography <:thinking:726878987837636698>

People would burn my autobiography bc my life is depressing <:KEK:795742276549607456>

Nobody wants to read that <:thinking:726878987837636698>

I wouldn't be able to write my autobiography

<:KEK:795742276549607456>
