How many words are there in a chapter of a novel?

Answer 1

The length of a chapter in a novel varied according to the genre, author, reader group, and other factors. In online novels, the first chapter was usually between 5000 to 8000 words, but there were also authors who would write a chapter with more than 100,000 words. In addition, some novels would use different methods such as "first 80%" or "first 8 chapters" to define the first chapter, and so on for the subsequent chapters. It should be noted that the length of the novel also depends on the reader's reading experience and the development of the story. Sometimes, the reader may need to skip some chapters, so the specific word count requirements vary from reader to reader.
