3rd chapter effect
The 3rd chapter effect is when the 3rd chapter seems more rushed than the other chapters
The game danganronpa is a good example of the 3rd chapter effect. In all 3 main games, the 3rd chapters are criticised for seeming rushed, as if they had to kill off two characters. The double murder in the 3rd chapter is olmost tradition at this point. But hey, the 3rd chapters usually have the best memes like the glorious sEeSaW EfFeCt.
