Is there any benefit to releasing multiple novel chapters in a day?

So I've built up quite a backlog of chapters, and I read on another thread that posting a new chapter within 24 hours of posting your last one will result in it being taken off of trending. Is this true?

Other than being sent to the top of "fresh" in your respective genre(s), is there any other benefit to posting more novel chapters in the span of single a day? Or is it just plain better to post once a day?

You will likely gain more attention by being on the fresh section more often, but other than that, you can do whatever you want! But bear in mind that the faster you upload, the quicker you'll get through the story and then basically drop off when you aren't uploading anymore.

Holy crap! This is the fastest reply I ever got in my life! They ain't joking when they said this community is one of the best lol.

I just happened to have entered the forums and saw your post first

Though I try to help out fellow novelist when I can

Broken record Enigma here to say:
You can only get on the Fresh list once per upload per day, so it's best to space out your uploads to at least daily, both to be on the Fresh list more often and to avoid burning out your readers.

I forgot about that! Thank you @Enigma_the_Slimy_Boi

This is literally the only piece of advice I have ever given someone new.
It is, quite literally, the least I can do.

You might try releasing episoodes at different times of the day. This is more a matter of preference since no one has found a time which seems to perform better than other times. Eventually, you will likely want to settle into a regular update schedule if you develop an audience.

You can do whatever you feel is best, of course, but I like to spread mine out by a couple of days. Need to give people something to look forward to

I'd say - post a couple chapters to have the first readers to get hooked on something in the first day, then space it out to get in the Fresh section more often to get new people. Dumping too much too fast will limit your exposure, since you can count on getting into the Fresh section, but have little to know impact to actually trend.
