I have received some suggestions from a research article I intend to publish, one of the reviewers commented on the literature review being "too-lengthy" whereas the other one praised it. This is just an example of disagreeing and contradicting reviews in this article, how do I move forward? What do you do when you get contradicting suggestions from reviewers?
I suggest sending message to the editor
Or in the proof-correction, you can explain the contradicting suggestions from the reviewers.

This is quite a predicament to be in. Firstly, understand that while reviewers are mostly experts in their respective fields, they follow different sets of principles/frameworks/models which can explain differences in comments/opinions. I would personally suggest reaching out to colleagues who are knowledgeable about your field of study and get their opinion as well. However, it will all boil down to your own judgement-- which of the comments do you genuinely think will make your paper better? There is always temptation to go the easy way and address the easier comments but make sure it will be most beneficial to your work.
