How do you prefer novels to be formatted when you read them?

i get a little bothered with shorter bits if it comes at the expense of scene-building, but huge kudos to people who can do tight, short scenes with description and plot

but ditto you and @kmlangleyauthor there, i'll read pretty much anything dialogue-wise as long as you start a new damn line for someone new talking, but i vastly prefer dialogue where i get body language and description and tone thrown in

I think I have a mini paragraph where people switch talking (not posted yet). I make it obvious but I didn’t want to break up the flow in that segment

[sxxaint]

definitely occasions where it works. I do a lot of reported speech in that vibe.

it's what always goes for writing: know the rules before you break them, and break them to better your writing

Honestly yes. It's only a minor thing but it's something that tends to help a lot.
