Should a novelette have chapters? Or are they brief enough to just kinda roll through it with a break between scenes?

Someone asked me about one of my favorite comics, Thorgal, and asked if they should read them.
To which I said yes………BUT, if they get the English cinebook ones, please let me help put them in the right reading order.
(they reprinted them from the normal books 1-2-3-4-etc to 7-3-5-9 because ARGHHH)

Little post halloween tidbit: ive had this notebook for years, purchased at a Disneypark. It kinda just laid there for years.
Last year, I used it to outline 5 novels, working on a 6th and scribbled concepts for 3 novelettes.
I also plotted out my first short story collection in it.
Thanks Jack

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either.
If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.
