@hlyd I'm currently at chapter 15 now and the story is nothing much but passable, but in some occasions even a single chapter is enought to understand if a work is worth reading.
@NeverWhere no, it's not. Pacing, development, and the author's approach could change at any moment, specially if it's based on a novel. A singular chapter will only give you a small glimpse of what it will look like, not the whole picture
