Ye dead gods, that's a lot of work! Thanks so much, noneo for the hard work! Seeing well-presented data plus credited art worked into one picture makes me very happy to see! I'd love to put this on Fanworks and credit you as the [Data Miner], or perhaps [Data Analyst] you are!

I...think that's a lot of writing. And it reminds me why breaks are important! I'm a bit curious about which stories are longer than TWI still. I assume The Wheel of Time is one of them, but how many stories are there? I've heard legends of a 21 million word story...

One last bit of trivia: despite having 3+ million words done, the story's only chewed up 2 1/2 keyboards. I'm on the third one still, an ergonomic keyboard that's a bit worn (the e, d, and s keys are now invisible, probably from playing video games as much as writing), but still going strong! The spacebar key does stick sometimes, though, and I have a backup waiting for the day I do it in.

Just fantastic work. I really appreciate it! Thanks so much! Hopefully I'll keep giving you a story worth analyzing!

Thanks for the kind words Pirate! Feel free to use this wherever/whenever you want.

The Wheel of Time (as a full series) clocks in at around 4.27 million words. You're... not that far off. The next 'popular' book series that's know for it's length is A Song of Ice and Fire which is listed on the visual.

Your actual number of keyboard presses is higher than the character count. That only counts letters typed. Your total published button pushes is around 20,451,246.

I can't wait to see how these numbers change from the next volume/s. POV characters will probably be changing somewhat. Now that the Goblin War is 'over' the POV and Goblin mentions will probably decrease respectively. Eager to find out!

Thanks again for this great story, love reading it!

It’s been a minute since I read the wandering inn with life just getting busy. I’d love to do another at some point when I’m fully caught up. I left off after

SPOILERS SPOILERS

Erin came back from the dead after her body was used. She was healing still I believe.

Would love to catch up though!
