Watered down version, probably.

There's always something or two hidden when military talk openly about an incident.

@ Demi
Yeah, sort of.

Most of the cadet only knew a little more, as they rise in age and rank they knew more and more.

@ Eras
Of course there's a plan

The problem is WHEN to execute it

Almost finished with chapter 14, but you'd probably hard to work hard to fix it to usual standard. It's...

I couldn't even describe it.

Not enough words? Writer block?

In terms of power armour, I was thinking about Fallout lol.

Lack of words, though it's supposed to be a filler of sort, it's just that my brain stopped when trying to add more exposition and explanation.

Fallout armor is cool, but I need to emphasize 'abnormal' in badass abnormal. Since Chifuyu use snake suit made of carbon nanotube, I figure giving Ichika a more sensible but still down to earth design would be good, instead of alternative machine that serves nothing but embellishment.

Depends on which fic

ST: 6000-9000 words (Chapter 12 is frankly abnormal)
TLR Stratos: 3000-6000 words
AC Xover: 5000-7000 words

You guys are really something, I would be satisfied with 5000 words MAX.

Agreed. I was content with 5k, but my writing style changed so every line is 3-4 sentences on average.

Well, if it's dialogue heavy then... I mean, one sentence can contain what? Ten words, mostly.

Adding more elaboration? Anywhere from 5-20 extra words. This take less than ten second in real time in anime terms, or one page in most manga.

This is what happened with chapter 14, it's 4000 word finished, but after fixing, no doubt it'll be at 6000 words at least.

Record holder: ST chapter 12 is more than 11.000 words, SANS author notes which add like, 1.500

I once did a single chapter story with 20.000 aprox words on it. The prologue of IG has 5000+ words, and that's because i wanted to keep it short. Currently the first chapter of IG has almost 12.000 words, and is not even complete yet.

Considering it's a prologue, better cut it off.

Besides, it would be jarring if the next chapter and beyond is noticeably smaller.

And hard for readers to digest

Average reader, assuming decent attention, have something like 200 words per minute of reading speed. More attentive reader would have half that speed or even less.
