Added 2020-10-31 02:22:29 +0000 UTCThe next chapter is written but I am so tired I can’t do the edit now. I promise it will be up soon, I just need a little sleep so I can clear my head.
I also wanted to talk about something. I have dabbled in reading the wandering inn, and I have noticed that as the book goes on, the chapters get much longer. Some of them are practically small books all to themselves capping in at 50k words. I have also been made aware that some modern fantasy stories have massive chapters fifty or more pages in length. I have sort of adhered to a policy of no more than 10,000 words per chapter, however there are times when I want to write more. The chapter I just wrote I have broken into two smaller chapters because I hit 12k words. The break is logical and happens when I shift point of view from one character to another after the conclusion of a major event. It makes sense but there are times when I wonder if I should just go ahead and post a 12k, 15k, even a 20k chapter.
Do you think it would be a negative to the story if I started writing really large chapters?

Depend on the release rate. If not breaking chapter or writing 20k words chapter make you go to 1 chapter at a 2 weeks intervals, it will have effects. Not on the story itself, it will even be better because books type story have better flow than webnovel. But on the reader, me included. Most reader would find it hard to have 2 weeks interval. You forget a little about it its can be little hard to remember if you read tons of story. And the wait can be little long if you really want to know what happen nexte ( like Sarah joining the binding). Some reader want chapter every 1 or 2 days but its make them too short if not full job writer and even then. Personally i prefer 1 chapter every weeks. But if you want to make them 20k every week go for it, im all in ;p
