| 6 | [[index]] |
| 7 | * ArcFatigue: When the story itself, or at least parts of it, go on for a really long time with little progress. |
| 8 | * EndingFatigue: It seems like it will end, but then it doesn't. |
| 9 | * ExponentialPlotDelay: The rate at which the plot progresses decreases as time goes on. |
| 10 | * FakeLongevity: A video game trope in which the advertised "hours of gameplay" are artificially increased with irrelevant things. |
| 11 | * {{Filler}}: Almost entirely meaningless segments or installments in a franchise's storyline. |
| 12 | * OvertookTheManga, although sometimes this results in new stories as opposed to the same story taking longer. |
| 13 | * {{Padding}}: Like filler, but on the scale of individual scenes as opposed to entire episodes or installments. |
| 14 | * ProlongedPrologue: When the prologue of a story takes a long time to tell. |
| 15 | * SlowPacedBeginning: The story is bogged down with exposition and takes a while to get off the ground. |
| 16 | * TrilogyCreep: The tendency of some trilogies to have additional, unexpected installments. |
| 17 | * WritingForTheTrade: When a story is more suited to being absorbed in one installment (i.e. one book/movie/comic), but is broken up into several parts. |
