I've never even heard of them described as 'chapter books.'

Woe is our future, it will be left in the hands of people who have phrases like "chapter books".

But don't graphic novels and long mangas also have chapters? A chapter is just a part.

He was desperately searching for a term that meant, “only words; no pictures” and he definitely didn’t want to call it “a normal book”

If he read more books he might know more words to describe them.

Idiot! Do those books teach you how to make exaggerated faces and audible expressions for social interactions? No! 🙄

My kids called them chapter books in first grade.

I remember that term from early elementary school. Moving from literal children's bedtime type story books to books with chapters, i.e. chapter books, was something that was applauded for five and six year old kids. But very shortly after that we shifted to just calling them books because all books except toddler books have chapters.

Me either, and I don't watch or read manga or amine, is that even considered a book? I thought it was what Japanese and neck beard incels jerked off to.

You probably have, but were so young you forgot.
