Do people prefer long episode stories (about 50 chapter stories) Or shorter ones (20-30 chapters)

[Aurore]

• Long-(40+)
• Short-(30 or less)

I would prefer short stories but tbh long stories are cool too as long as the story isn’t being dragged out

I cant wote for 2 reasons

1. for me short story is inder 15 chapters so both 30-40 re long stories
2. I do not mind at all the lenght if the story s good written…I am bit suspeciouse about wery short stories lik 3-5 chapters… because I like character development and am bit fearing that 3 capters are not enough to make good story - but actually I never read such short story so I might be wrong about it.

Lengths of my top 5 favourite stories:

41
45
42
40
50

I guess that’s my answer.

That’s definitely not to say that every story between 40-50 eps is good, or that every one below that is bad, just that those 5 authors had enough plot and character development to fill 40-50 chapters. They had complex plots and a lot of ideas, which is why I liked their stories in the first place. A story that stuffs eps with filler, no thanks.

My story, for example, takes place almost entirely during a 2-hour event. If I tried to stretch that into 50 eps, it’d be a mess.

So for sure don’t plan your story based on meeting certain length requirements. Plan the plot, and the number of episodes will sort itself out.

Short with longer chapters if that makes sense

I prefer longer ones but it really don’t matter to me if it’s a good story I’m going to stick it out
