Discussion Do you guys read novel with 2000+ chapter ?

Yep, I do.
When I found interesting story I will read it no matter how many chapters they have.

 

Sounds interesting, is it being TLed?

However, the author updates up to 4 chapters a day and the TL is up to 2 chapters a week... Considering how the story is written (the author writes almost all of the protagonist's waking hours plus side stories so each in-story day averages about 3-4 chapters), and how it's spread out between training, fighting, crafting, home/dungeon/town/nation building, romcom/friendship bonding, later adding ecchi into the mix, later adding politics into the mix... might be hard to read the translation at the current pace. Should be fine to read all the current chapters, though, since I think it's almost at a good stopping point and enough to understand the protagonist's behavior even a little.

 

I do, but chances are it's a trash novel where the author just recycle his plot devices into new arcs, so not that much.

 

I never pay attention to the number of chapters is a dumb way to measure length. A 2000 chapter novel with 1000 word chapters is 2,000,000 words long. It's long but not excessively so. A book with half the chapter count but the chapters are 4000 words apiece would be twice as long. It's a bit like trying to determine the size of a car by looking at how many letters there are in its name.

As for the question itself, it's all dependent on the skill of the writer and the content of the novel. A good writer working with a good story concept can keep the book entertaining forever, and for a book written by a terrible writer sometimes even a single chapter is too much. If you keep finding books that run out of steam, then chances are that you're just bad at picking books to read!

 

No. 2000 chapter is just too long for my taste. In my 4 years of reading Webnovel, I have never been seen a story that has that many chapter but continues to have a great plot line. My attention span is just too short for that.

 

When I was younger, I did~

 

Yes, if I like the book
No if I don't
Never read a book that is still good after 1000 ~1500 chapters tho...

 

I used to but not anymore. It needs investing and to be sure it's a really good story to start with. Now that I've read many novels and my standards are inevitably high. I'd rather read something short but with quality than something with little quality and mostly filler. Otherwise the long 600+ chapters has to certainly be good for me to start with.

 

As long as I'm happy when reading it, and not annoyed, why not?
It is quite sad you know, when a series end. More chapter, more happiness!

 

Though I usually don't read that long because of the repetitions, I also absolutely avoid the shorter stories because of rushed stories or just recently started/vastly incomplete content. My personal target would be 500+ chapters or so.
I'll admit I tried many 2000+ novels to see if I would like them and some I've gone all the way to the end, but MOST have been dropped, and often early ("am i really gonna suffer trough 1500+ chapters of this? nope ! ")

 

I'm fine with it if I really like it. I'm generally put off with novels with lots of chapters and anime with lots of episodes.

 

I haven't read a novel that's over 2000+ chapters yet. I prefer short novels but I guess if the story and characters are interesting enough (and stay that way) I could try to read novels that long. However, I'm doubtful that the writer keeps up the quality for that long.

 

Yes, I do read novel with 2k+ chapters

 

If a book is about constant power ups then it's hard to see how it can be sustained for prolonged periods. But it all depends on the writer and his vision for the story. Even ones that look like they have limited scopes can still be highly varied and stay interesting for a long time. For example, I read a book about World War II that's about war all the time. However it still manages to tell all kinds of different stories: there are battles at all different scales, stories about infiltration and guerilla combat, logistics, home front activities, diplomacy, and more. It might not be for everyone, but it's something I did read for a very long time.

 

I agree that it depends on the writer and the genre. One book one can easily keep the plot interesting but 2000+ chapters would be a book series... I'm not against reading a longer story but I would need a reason for it as I wouldn't randomly pick one up. To me, 500 chapters is long. But if someone recommended me a novel that was 2000+ that matches my interests, I might give it a go. Depends also how interesting synopsis it has, is it my preferred genre/setting etc. I agree also that certain topics do need a longer plot to unfold.

 

LoTM & ToMA have 1k+ chapters and I love them, Supreme Magus too, is great so far. KN & JP novels are great in the short run, but the quality wane too fast.

The only novels I know with 2k+ chapters are probably the still on going novels, that were translated during the Xianxia peak last 2015-16-ish. NGL I read those during that time, and I'm a sucker for it until the Isekai genre became the new schiznit.

 

Yeah, it looks like most of the super long novels on NU are xianxia, and I don't read those books. And so it feels like the really long books that I like don't get translated so I can't really recommend anything as a counterpoint. However, these books are out there, and they can be very good indeed!

 

Yes if the story well liked, has happy ending, finish translated, and adventures

 

It only happened once. By the end of it, I was reading on inertia. It was a quick pass novel, so at least the storylines changed every 30-50 chapters.
