I agree. Let’s not try to fix what isn’t broken.
Stories told through serial release have been a big hit with readers ever since magazines became popular and easily accessible to a literate public. Charles Dickens established the form for English readers with The Pickwick Papers in the early 1800’s. Much of European and Russian literature was first published serially, including works by Alexandre Dumas, Flaubert, Tolstoy, and Dostoevsky.
Most writers who set out to construct a lengthy narrative tend to handle the passage of time and the development of their characters through episodic reveal, and they unwind their plots in the form of chapters. Publication in a staged format is not only familiar to readers, it is often built in by the writer to support the pace of the tale he is unfolding.
