Supposedly the latest trend deciding what novels get accepted by literary agents isn't the total number of words in the book, it's the total number of words in each chapter. They're getting much more strict about wanting chapters that are 1250-1500 words.

The reason is audiobooks: Having shorter chapters is a better user experience and audiobooks are really hot (money makers) right now.

This is just an anecdote though. I'm not an expert (only wrote one novel and my chapters were like ~2,500-3,500 words).

Wait, have I not written about why I picked game of thrones for good comparison? I feel deja-vu lol.

So the reason why I picked Game of thrones is that you can see my github username (SerJaimeLannister)?

Why'd you may ask? Because I had given some minor exam and was in my brother's dorm room. They started watching game of thrones. I started watching from s4. When I came home, I binge watched s4-s7.

I later, wanted a github username (my last one was lost as I was using keepassxc and that archlinux distro got wiped by me back then [I was still learning])

Actually lost my [email protected] and many other good additions. Oh well, Anyways it was around this time that I ended up wanting a new github account as I lost complete access to previous one. And the story overlapped with previous and I always wanted some nice name so ended up deciding on serjaimelannister.

So Actually the AI suggested something like harry potter or something and I only wanted to compare to novel because I said in one of my previous comments that I may have written enough to write a novel (you can actually read that on HN when I got the idea)

But I thought the opportunity of using game of thrones when my name's literally ser jaime lannister was quite good :D

also after making github account,Then later watched s1-s2-ish. Still haven't watched s3 tho. No spoilers tho xD!
