While reading a story, I realized something.
Sometimes, writers make chapters longer to make up for a long wait. Sometimes, it's because they want to explain every emotion and every detail. And I completely understand that.
But I feel that when the same point is explained over and over again, it slowly loses its impact. Instead of making the emotion stronger, it starts to feel repetitive. The same goes for unnecessary details. They can sometimes overshadow the main plot and the emotions that actually matter, making the chapter feel slower than it needs to be.
I personally enjoy long chapters, especially after waiting for an update. But I think what really matters is that every scene and every paragraph adds something meaningful to the story. A chapter doesn't need to be long--it just needs to keep the reader engaged.
Just my personal opinion.
