Arvin_53305mthCommentedIf your story is over one million words long I'd argue that you're going way too much. The Lord of the Rings trilogy is like almost 600k words total. The Harry Potter series is over 1 million, total. You're writing a whole series if you're doing this much
This is because the natural way how webnovels work makes it so that only a longer novel can bring greater benefits for the author. The novel's ranking, influence, and author's fame are all affected by the novel's length. To achieve a respectable degree in these areas, the novel will typically need to be at least 1.5 million words or longer.- Arvin_53305mthCommented
This has to be an exaggeration. All three Lord of the Rings books combined are almost 600k words.
The first goal is to be able to imagine and finish a story that's approximately 500,000 words. Simply speaking, you have to be able to write long novels.
