Question of the Day: Is there a certain number of chapters a story (comic, manga, manwha, manhua or webtoon) needs to have for you to be curious enough to check it out? If yes, how many? If no, what matters most for you to try out a story?

Note: No answer shall be judged or attacked, so feel free to share what comes to mind

What attracts me first is the cover art and the synopsis; if the story is complete and has, I don't know, more than 150 chapters, I confess that it discourages me to start... but even so I read at least one chapter to see if it's worth it

For manga, +15 usually, for manwha i prefer atleast +40. Additionally, title, tags, synopsis and cover art all play a role in my clickity clacks.

If the tags and the title catches my eye and matches my mood for the day, I'll check it out regardless of chapters.

HOWEVER, if the title is captivating itself regardless my mood, I'll check it out regardless of chapters.

I'll also say that 100+ chapters intimidate me, BUT (like the earlier reply) if the title and synopsis is engaging I'll give it a try.

@Manga lover😎, +500 episodes? Out of curiosity, what's the title?

If the last update was recent, then even just one is fine. Mostly what I look for is pleasing artwork, genres I enjoy, and no tropes I hate

I read "The Expensive Ex-wife of the Wealthy Family", 700+ chapters. I followed from the first update till the end.

If cover art and summary piques my interest, it doesn't matter how many chapters there are, I'll check it out. Art that I like, stories that I find interesting and good translation are the things that are important to me. Actually translation is the most important to me, a bad translation can completely ruin a good story.

Art and Synopsys, If it is a Manga then at least 5 to 15 chapters before i start reading, Manhwa as long as the story looks good ill read as long as it has 15, Manhua depends, Is it romance? needs 40+ so i have time to fall in love with the characters. Cultivation? 100+  since i want to binge that and Manhua have a lot of cliffhangers before the MC finally rubs his success in his judgemental families/lovers families face.

for me its the title and the cover if they are intersting i will read regardless of the number of chapters
