So, how many times should you bring up character stats in a Webnovel. Every other chapter or every 5 chapters?

I can only tell you how I'm doing it.
  1. When a character is actively inspecting another character, or item, a brief window is given for what they see.
  2. At the end of any chapter where the character's stats, or abilities, have changed or improved. Strictly what has changed, or improved.
For example:
[Character Status Insert]
NAME: Morrigan Flamecrest
CLASS: Shaman LEVEL: 19 RANK: Bronze-****

[Item Stats Insert - All benefits are applied only while the weapon is equipped and in-use]
Sword of Avalon
Weapon Class: Swords - Requires: Swords - S-rank
Weapon Type: Arming Sword - One-handed Sword
Damage: 70 - 150
Weapon Mods: Holy Fire (+100 Radiant Damage), Enhanced Damage (+250%), Rend Armor (50%), Dragon-Bane (Ignore Armor & Resistances: Dragon), Fiend-Bane (Ignore Armor & Resistances: Fiends)
Enchantments: Enhanced Damage (200%), Regeneration (20% Damage on Hit - Health), Rejuvenation (10% Damage on Hit - Mana), Echo (Copy Activated Techniques and Spells at 50% damage), All Skills +1 Rank, All Attributes +50%
Flavor Text: "Stand firm, my Knights. There is no challenge to great for you to overcome together."

[Character Growth Insert - Included as post-chapter author's note]
HEALTH+1
MANA+2
Strength
Agility+1
Vitality
Intellect
Wisdom+2
Charisma+2
