: Re: Should the average length of a chapter depend on the length of the novel? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_count#In_fiction This Wikipedia page tells you under which classification a fictional work
There are no hard and fast rules about how long a chapter needs to be, or should be.
A chapter in a novel is a consumable / semi-self contained chunk of a story, it may contain one or more scenes.
If the average length of your chapters in your story is 5000 words, there is nothing to say that you can't have a mega chapter with 15,000 words, or a tiny transitional chapter with just 1,500 words.
