stop writing a whole part of the previous chapter it's a disgusting move to increase word count you can just write at your own pace

Which part are you talking about?

Literally the beginning of every chapter after chapter 1. There is no need for a recap, especially when the chapters aren't long.

That's what he meant! I started doing that because at the time I released one chapter every two weeks, so people kind of forgot where the story was at. Also, it only adds 100 to 150 words out of a 2000 words chapter. Does it really matter that much? I'm not paid anything for my novel anyway.

It is annoying for those who binge read. And if people really don't remember, two taps will get them to the end of the last chapter.

I understand your point but by the same token, you could just ignore it. I feel like it's a 'milk before or after the cereal' kind of problem.

I'm curious: is there truly many people bothered by it?

Nah, idk why they make a big deal out of it. They can just skip the word count chap, and proceed to the real one.

No. I'm a big boy. I can take an extra moment of effort and use my scroll-wheel to scroll down a half inch to skip recaps. It's hard work, but I can do it. I also eat my veges too. :P
