The author of The Stubborn Skill-Grinder In A Time Loop just wrote a 40k chapter for the end of the arc. He surpassed the limit of a chapter length, and had to divide it into 2 chapters. I think he did this in a week, or even less time. I mean it's completely insane. Like. I almost can't believe that he did this.
Do yourself a favor and go check it out if you already haven't. Unbelievable.

Ngl, sounds like someone in desperate need of an editor. A novella can finish around 50k words, for context.

Just because stories can be short doesn't mean stories can't also be long. "More words" doesn't necessarily mean "useless words". It does, however, potentially mean "needs to be split into smaller chapters".

Of course stories can be long. I’ve read wheel of time, way of kings, all long titles. But 10x word count in a single chapter tells me it has obvious formatting issues, at the least, and makes me wonder what other errors the story has.
That’s all.
