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! 🙄

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.

Good God. Are peoples imaginations truly that shot?
I know the inner monologue statistic is depressing. I wonder how many people have a legitimate imagination...

Reading jeet anon's weeb bullshit made me realize that just like so many other things that are near non-existent now, imagination will be a thing of the past without aggressive course correction. On this foul trajectory, future generations would look at being able to conjure words, images, sounds, and ideas in one's own mind as some far fetched superpower like telekinesis.
Part of why I love reading books far more than any (((entertainment))) that involves a screen (in addition to the obvious: it's the least kiked medium there is, especially older books) is because the scenes my mind is able to weave from well written words is far more fleshed out than any where the imagery is done for you.
Reading "chapter books" (new dumbest phrase ever found) requires more of the person doing the reading than any comic book/manga, tv show, movie, or video goom. So no wonder it's an activity only old farts and anachronisms like myself still engage in; the majority of people are missing the necessary tools: patience, attention span, intelligence, inner voice, and imagination.

In the land of the illiterate, the trash novel reader is king.
I read a few Deen Koontz and Piers Anthony books as a lad. Even trash novels are way deeper than most comics & manga.
The *Xanth* novels, as formulaic as they all are, are more in depth than a comic.
The seven book *Blue Adept* series is great, too, except for the lesbian Brown Wizard. I love the Proton/Phaze dynamic.
Oh, and the *Incarnations of Immortality* is a fun romp, too.
Koontz ... I only read *Phantoms*.
If you want a real mind-fuck, try Clive Barker's *Weaveworld*. Get it at a used bookstore, though, because Barker's a flaming faggot.

what is a chapter book in this context? yes i understand "a book that has chapters" but does he mean a text only book or something?
A book with words, paragraphs, sentence structure and chapters.
so just a text only book, normal people call those books or novels. who call it a "chapter book"?
I had kind of a reaction like this when I picked up a 'light novel'. I was expecting something like a novella, but the goddamn thing read like it was stitched together from thousands of tweets.
