I read a lot of middle grade - both for my job and because I really love it. Your short chapter style is common in middle grade, but I can't think of a book for adults that uses this style. (I don't read much YA, which is where this story might fit - maybe it is more prevalent there?) Just wondering how other readers who don't spend as much time in the middle grade space are reacting to the short chapter style.
It's not as common, but is still done. Stephen King sometimes has unique chapter structures, with long chapters broken out into smaller sub-chapters, which can sometimes just be a paragraph or too.
I think the different structure lets you do unique things, but the method I'm publishing them, once a week, likely has a different effect. I think that chapter is the shortest one in the book.
