How many planets should I have in my planetary system?

I am building a planetary system, but I always thought how many planets should I have in this system. When you look at our solar system there are 8 planets. Other exoplanetary systems can have up to the same amount. I am here wondering whether I should have the same amount or have more than what our solar system has. Eight seems relatively good but I think ten or more would be a better number. The definition of planet i am using is the same definition most people use and my system won't include planets on the same orbit neither binary planets.
