I agree, and it makes it far harder to get it to work in places where you'd need to offer substantially more for that to be attractive. My son reads a lot there

I agree, and it makes it far harder to get it to work in places where you'd need to offer substantially more for that to be attractive. My son reads a lot there, and expect hundreds of chapters to bother starting a series, and gets annoyed if there isn't a new one every day. Meanwhile most authors of fiction write 3 novels or less in a lifetime... Though I guess at least in part because most get disillusioned once they don't get readers.
