Curious at others opinions. Personally I find myself struggling to keep interest after 700 but anything under 150 just doesn’t interest me.
Depends.. for me.. anything exceed 1000 chapter are too much.. (the younger me disagree)..now.. 750 max 400 min
I consider more than 2000 to be wasteful because most novels that go beyond get draggy. I'd say 1000 but there are a lot of good novels among the 1000-2000 range. As for short, 10 to 50 chapters is the range that feels too short for me. Less than 10 is fine because it's basically a one shot.
For me, Too many : 400-1000++ (exception for one with manga/anime/game adaptation ) Too few : good novel that authors dropped with various reason.. T^T)
content matter you know? anyway if listed chapters already 1k++ this cat become too lazy to read~ time~ this cat have more thing to do so despite this cat can fast read it become meh~ anyway this cat prefer it on book set rather than chapters~ you know like 20 book on a series is ok similarly if only one~ but chapter? meh
I prefer things in the 100-150 range so long as the chapters are of decent length. At 200+ I start questioning if it's worth it before I even start. Maybe if it's being updated multiple times a week or is already completed. I immediately skip over anything 300+ unless it has insanely good reviews AND is already completed. Why you may ask? Because anything over about 150 chapter is very unlikely to ever end up completely translated or it'll take years to do so. And I hate starting a project destined to be abandoned. Say one chapter a week is translated. A very healthy translation schedule and translators deserve a healthy schedule. 52 chapters a year. At 300 chapters that's about 6 years of waiting for a story to be over. I don't have over half a decade's worth of patience for any story. Let's say they updated daily, that's still an nearly an entire year and may be unsustainable for the translator. At 150 chapters, updated daily, little less than six months. That's still a big project but seems like a much more reasonable time frame both for my and the translators interest in a story. And it's not like quantity equals quality. I've read stories that move me to tears in 11 chapters and read stories that have all the dimension of a sheet of paper that are over 500 chapters.
I used to read novels with 2000+ But now i don't even start the novel if it has more than 200 chapters
Probably below 50 and beyond 300. A novel with too many chapters tends to lose focus. I've read 300 chapters of TOCF and lost interest after that since the author kept introducing new characters and I could barely remember all their name or purpose in the story.
I actually like reading short stories so there's no such thing as too few chapters for me, I'll give it a chance if it's 2 chapters or 20 since it's so short it's not like I'm making a significant time commitment. For too long, even though I may start reading novels of any length, I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I'll probably never actually finish reading anything over 400 chapters simply because longer novels are more likely to lose my interest at some point so I just naturally drop them.
50-100 is like a short story, 100-300 I know it's going to be good, 300-600 is the golden zone, most novels of this length are very well written, 600-800 is likely going to be repetitive, 800+ is if I want to read little bits for an extended period of time without feeling lost. Anything beyond 1500 transcends numbers, I no longer consider chapter numbers when I read those, only that I must read.
Too much: 300+ ... Maybe even 200+ but it's hard to tell. Too little: -> less than 25 if it's incomplete. -> If it is complete, anything above zero is good, even if it's only a long paragraph it's still ok. One sentence is too damn little though.
Entirely depends on what the story is about, some stories could be too short at 1000 chapters and some could be too long at 100.
If it's not quick transmigration or infinite stream, then my maximum tolerated chapters are up to 500. Minimum 30.
