    So this is random, but recommend me any novels that are really long with a terrible or draggy plot in the later chapters. Any genre is fine. The novel can be terrible or awesome in the beginning, just as long as the plot is dragged in the later chapters.
    (I’m sorry for making this weird request (˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵) )

    Legendary Moonlight Sculptor is a genre-defining VRMMO novel that has some really fantastic moments.

    It's up to... *checks notes* ... 58 volumes now. ... Oh? It's marked complete? Did the author finally stop??

    To me Poison Consort Genius stands out mainly because I recall the first chapters and how I had to wait out each chapter (then again this applies to many stories) but it's completed now. There's even a drama!

    I do like Moonlight Sculptor. lol fun and always makes me want to play a game and get into the grind. Then only to be utterly disappointed since technology hasn't caught up yet.

    Oh how about the Boss level face slapping specialist has over a 1000 chapters? Easy to read because of the arcs and different scenarios.

    How about Tales of Demons and Gods? The author is still writing about a chapter every other month or so really gets dragged along.

    Really so many out there! Good luck.

    The Wandering Inn - You keep reading and more keeps coming. The best part is that it's really well written unlike a lot of other ones that drag a lot......

    It's over 5 million words long and it's one of the best web novels I've seen in terms of writing. The quality only improves and doesn't drop as it goes.

    Besides MGA, put emperor’s domination in the list.

    Hard to say which one is worse. ED at least has a good scenario description and innovative ideas for how things happen.

    Ehh, i just checked my trash dump list and i actually lasted longer reading MGA than i did ED. Maybe because, shitty and repetitive as MGA was, at leas the protag had a functioning set of testicles.
    ED protag had a great brain but was pretty much one of those eunuch sages who cultivated enlightenment for so long their balls shrivelled up and dropped off.

    Drop the previous recommendations and start The Mech Touch !!!!
    TMC is the Godfather of books that are dragging on. The thing is that it's like a fishing hook with a juicy worm dangling on it! Like the fish we are we bite into it and ... I'm at chapter 2576 now. 3 chaps per day and has an average word count of ~2,500, takes about an hour to read the daily update. I mean I love this book but T-T

    I haven’t read this novel, but since it has so many chapters I am just assuming that the plot will drag.

    https://www.novelupdates.com/series/godly-empress-doctor/ (4,000+ Chapters)
    I dropped this novel after reading a few hundred chapters

    https://www.novelupdates.com/series...is-wife-the-rebellious-good-for-nothing-miss/ (11,000+ Chapters)
    I probably started this novel and then dropped it

    I remember it feeling a bit draggy around Volume 2 or something but it is quite good for the most part.
