That's what changed a TON between my first story branch (the mid one), the one I made pre 3-month-break (long story, I'll lore drop eventually) and the ones that came after (the two I consider actually well-made); clickbait. I built those early chapters around catching people's attention and giving them what they want (sex) as fast as possible. Now I try to make a real story :)

I usually name my chapters whatever first comes to mind; sometimes that’s a rambling sentence, sometimes it’s a pun. 99% of the time it’s comedic in nature

There are several reasons why the numbers might go up and down. E.g. hub chapters (loops), branching points, links from other sites, publishing multiple chapters at once, ...

Hey. That's better than "some" people. *wink wink*

Me too, I don't really have a storyboard or plot in mind most of the time, I just write from where I am at the moment. Often when I'm writing, I find that I'm daydreaming scenarios that could only take place about 6,000 words later. I also sometimes have to refer to old chapter to keep track of previously mentioned plot point like the date, weather, enviroment, etc.

I think a good solution would be a sort of 'Author's notes' chapter that we could jot down plot points in, things we'd need to keep track of.

I actually just finished going through my story as though I was a reader, taking notes the entire time (both for what’s happened and what’s to come). It was an incredibly bizarre experience to attempt to perceive my own work as a viewer, but I definitely think I have a better hold than I did previously lol. I even got some new ideas!

If I could add images the image would have been the reaction image of the black kid with his hands on his head

Fellas call that the 'No way'.
Incidentally, it was my exact reaction to you not knowing it was called 'No way'.
