Small bit of response to this in one of your reviews:
In nonfiction, yes, they're used to omit parts of text, but in fiction, they're often used to draw out the voice of the speaker. As in, if the text is supposed to be read like someone is trailing off, then one uses an ellipsis to indicate that there's no hard ending.
Moreover, in response to your other review, there's such a thing as a short chapter so long as it's well written and so long as the author actually produces enough content to keep the reader intrigued. There is, however, such a thing as a badly written short chapter, which is what you're trying to get at. Rather than focusing on quantity, your aim in a review is to point out quality. State what exactly about the writing is falling short of being good -- characterization, plot, whatnot. Moreover, if you state they shouldn't try to match a deadline and shouldn't write in the reply box, state why by describing what happens as a result. State that the story becomes rushed and touch upon storytelling elements when you do so. (For example, tell the author that a rushed chapter results in a lack of logic and a failure to proofread, and remember to point out examples from the story itself to back up your thoughts.)
Long story short, quality, not quantity.
