Try powering through chapters, 1.00 D and 1.01 D of Wandering Inn. I recommend these chapters because they are introductory chapters of a new setting and are more indicative of what makes the story so disgustingly popular than its first chapters.
You will notice how many story hooks Pirateaba fits into a single chapter. How the "magic system" is set up to be endlessly scalable. Most new chapters are mini-arcs with an opening and conclusion. The author writes 40k+ words a week. And the scummiest of all, Every mystery solved just leads to more questions.
It's a strange mixture of genuine passion and ''manipulative" writing that makes it so popular, and I've found that most Webnovels I have enjoyed are similar, dopamine extractors but with an actual heart somewhere in there.
