Fun question: How long is TCF (part 1)?

To be more specific – how many words are there in the English version of the webnovel “Trash/Lout of the Count’s Family”?

I looked it up and of course, I found no answers. Which naturally meant I had to make research and calculations of my own.

(Bear in mind, I might have made a mistake or more somewhere. So take my results with a grain of salt.)

Here’s what I know:

• by checking many random chapters one by one, I discovered that while there is no standard chapter length, they’re always somewhere between 2,500 and 4,500 words (excluding the short prologue). There might be some shorter or longer outliers, but I haven’t come across them
• the most common length is somewhere between 3,000 and 3,500 words per chapter
• there are currently 776 chapters in Part 1 (not counting the extra chapters released afterwards)
• I had to subtract a bit from the final totals due to additional words located on the website pages I was using, but it was less than 80,000 words, so I don’t think that number matters a lot (you’ll see in a moment why…)

Based on this information, I calculated that TCF Part 1:

• is at least 1.86 million words at Minimum
• has the Averageof somewhere between 2.25 and 2.64 million words
• atMaximumhas3.42 million words in total

(For reference, there are 576,459 words in the Lord of the Rings series, 757,439 words in the Bible, and 1,084,170 words in the entire Harry Potter series. Meaning TCF is probably at least as long all three of those combined.)

…Pretty jaw-dropping, huh??
