Notes -
I'd question the writers' intentions and whether it's always better. Often writers' intentions were to keep people buying additional installments of a serial. I've read unabridged Dickens and Flaubert and what it taught me is there's a lot of filler that could be cut without much loss beyond the awareness of how much filler was inserted for a reason that serves the writer at the expense of the reader. The literary effects of commercial serialisation might be an interesting textual insight the first time but that insight doesn't stack while the time lost when I could be reading another book does.
