I love to read:  A well written story should only be from 7 to 29 chapters long or shorter. 3,000 or 6,000 words at most, because readers' attention spans are based heavily on the length of the stories. Any stories over 30 chapters are always too wordy, repetitive, mundane and becomes too boring where the reader loose interest and stop reading, or just don't care to read long stories.  Authors who have written stories over 29 chapters, over 5,000 or 6,000-8,000 words, should know that their readers have skipped chapters.
