>mangaka/distributors chop the chapters to 2-3 parts
yeah, this is a clear "BEWARE" sign; any conscious creator would not do so.
Same applies to light novels: if the whole chapter is full of fluff writing (repeated phrases like "junior,do you dare?!", "they sucked in a breath of cold air",etc..more on Wuxiaworld's "Chinese idiom glossary"; or describing extremely minor character's clothes in extreme detail, from top to bottom, hair to shoes), then it is most likely just to lenghten the novel for cash.
Martial God Asura has 4400+ chapters, and more than half of it could be thrown directly to the garbage and it would only improve the novel.
I'm reading the novel for this, currently at ch15, and it's not really good,but not true trash either..There's 47 chapters translated at the moment,so I hope it will improve later on
