    My question is:

    In a good day; How many chapters do you read in one day?

    If a novel is good, do you read faster?

    Rarely more than 5, if I'm binge reading something I'm addicted to I can go up to 60-120 though.

    If I spend the whole day reading, I've read as many as 500,000 words. How many chapters that is is going to depend on how long you think a chapter is. Personally, I have no idea how many words that's supposed to be. I rarely spend so much time reading and I wouldn't bother if the book wasn't good enough.

    Since chapters lengths tend to vary, on a good day, when I have a lot of free time available, I'll probably make my way through 20-50k words. I tend to read slower when I enjoy a story, in order to take in all the details of the work. I tend to go through chapters a lot faster the less enjoyable they are. Sometime I find myself breezing through chapters in a matter of seconds, because 99% of it was just unimportant fluff that neither contributed to the plot or brought me any enjoyment.

    200+ chapters *CN novels length

    and no, it's the opposite for me. if a novel is bad, my skimming skill will activate with ctrl+f for " to highlight the dialogue and go through the chapters like x2, x3 the speed, it's necessary skill to read something like PMG/MGA for me.

    Usually? 3 to 4 mostly due to the fact that I'm already caught up so there's only that many chapters to read
    If for one series and I just started? 150 at the very least

    5-10 chapters on weekdays and 20+ chapters on weekends but that's only if I really like the novel. If a novel's good and it's already completed, I do tend to read it faster and then go slower and savour it when there's only a couple of chapters left. Sometimes, I postpone reading the ending as well because I don't want it to end and I don't want to part with the novel just yet. :blobupset:

    Depends on the type of novel, I guess. Chinese WN chapters are generally short with minimal content, so I can read 200-300 of those in a day, if I only read Chinese WNs. If it's JP/KR, it is really dependent on the average length/complexity of the chapters and how much the story interests me. For instance, I binge-read Everyone Else is a Returnee in a 1.5 days, but Infinite Competitive Dungeon Society took me close to a week.
