Assume the minimal amount of pages per a chapter is 4, and the maximum is nine. What's your opinion?

It depends on the book, really. Some books should have 15 chapters, others chould have somewhere around 30. It depends on the plot and the story.

"Once Upon Reality" is the story I'm not sure over chapter-wise.

It doesn't really matter the amount of cahpters, but the quality of the writing, but assuming it has to ahve some amount of chapters to make it a novel and not just a short story or whatever, I'd say somewhere around 20 with those page limits.

I'm at ten pages with 2 chapters (I might add more to chapter 2), maybe it's not cut-out to be a novel. Do you think a publisher whould publish a short story of this kind?

I'm afraid I won't even make it to four, without dragging out the story and boring the reader to death. But I could give it a shot. Who knows? Maybe then years from now when I finally have neough money to publish, I'll find it and say, "Oh! I can add ten more chapters...."

The minimum is 4-Ok, J.K. Rowling believes that... but... the maximum is 9? Oh... don't tell her that! Have you read one of her novels?

No, but I hear they're really long! This is strange my parents always tell me I right too long, but this has to be a novell! What teenager's going to want to read a romance short-story? ??

Depends on if it's a series, and who are your readers. Are they 8 or 30? Is the book a long series or just 1 book. How long are the chapters? Make it as long and hard as you like!
