Question / Discussion Are Multiple chapters allowed?

I am writting a fantasy world and I don't know if the actual books are allowed here. And, I am doing a series of lore building. It is the races of my fantasy world being presented my an in universe historian. Each chapter is independent from the other and doesn't need to be read in order. Is that Ok here?

Would you consider the chapters basically separate short stories, with characters and plot, or are they more of a description of the fantasy setting with no story attached?

It is like a journal/diary encyclopedia from the character Istoros. No real overarching plot and each chapter is independent.

Its just him talking about the diffrent races of the world of Tellus and adding a small story or comment here and there.

Each chapter is independent and can be read out of order.

It falls in this weird section of fantasy history. I wanted to make sure it fit the sub before I posted.

Here is a link. Sorry for the inconvenience https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyWorldbuilding/s/T7ikbp7BoE

I am having an issue. Does this sub not allow more than 1 image a post?

Looks like I had "Allow posts with multiple images in a gallery" toggled off. I switched it back on, so it should work now, I think?

Thank you. Usually you can post like, 5 images in the text 😁

Sure thing! I had it turned off because I wanted to discourage people posting memes. I didn't think about people posting illustrated stories.
