I realize the monetization model of these novels is contradictory to my request. Still, there must be some gems out there. You can define short however you want. 20, 100, 500 chapters. As long as it's good.
Infinite Competitive Dungeon Society. Around 355 chapters if I remember correctly~ Everyone Else is a Returnee. By the same writer. Breakers Dimensional Sovereign Dungeon Hunter All novels are completely translated~
Read the mother of learning. if you've already read it and light novels no longer appeal to you read fanfics. Nothing like a well written fixit fanfic to make my day.
I loved mother of learning, but god damn it updated so slowly. Once a month until I completely forgot about it.
Please make your reading list public. The monetization model of thousands of chapters is mostly the case for CN. Not so much for other places. As for some short and good stories: The Lazy King - 16 chapters Invisible Dragon - 50 chapters/paragraphs (this one is a must )
