What is the origin of this meme? Seriously, it seems like every time I find a Russian novel I want to read it turns out to be >700p. Is "editor" not a profession in Russia or something?

"Editor" is just another word for capitalist who wants to benefit from the labour of the writer
Christian Perez
it's basically a publisher's younger brother

This isn't exclusive to Russia, but many classic novels were published as serials, meaning that the author's paycheck relied on them being able to fill space and drag out the story. Most of the novels by Dostoevsky and Tolstoy were originally published in a magazine called 'The Russian Messenger,' for example.

This.
For a tangentially related reason, lots of fanfics and web serials are terrifyingly long.

Have you tried Stephen King or maybe watching a Marvel comics film? There's a Spider-man one coming out soon
