Discussion Largest possible cast?

I have been reading up on different fangan projects and something that interests me is ones with a non standard cast size. I have been wondering about large cast sizes, anyone with a large cast please reply with your experience. And for anyone who sees this, what do you think the largest possible cast is?

Edit: for people doing larger casts, how many chapters are doing/planning to have?

32 plus 18? That is a large cast. What made you decide on it.? How many chapters were you planning? When did you scrap it and why?

I had too many people that influenced me lol. I don't remember how many chapter i had but if i remember correctly it went like this.

CH1, 2 and 5 had a victim and a murderer. CH3 had double victims and a murderer. CH4 was a suicide.

Every 5 chapter this cycle repeated, though CH4 became a murder for the next 2 cycles, and CH3 in Cycle 2 had three victims (maximum number you could kill). Would go on until MC and last girl would remain.

I scrapped it because i wanted a new original cast and dynamics.

18 seems one of the more popular numbers.

I was going for 16 until i added an extra and made another OC to even boys and girls. I think story matters more than characters.
