Wildbow wordcounts
Mar. 17th, 2022 07:09 pmHow wordy has Wildbow gotten over time? Well...
X axis is "chapter number", i.e a number that starts at 1 with the first chapter of Worm and increases by 1 every new chapter without resetting with new serials. The glow-worm chapters are, for not-very-important technical reasons, counted as happening in between the first and second chapters of Ward. Yes that's silly, no it doesn't really matter that much so I didn't bother to fix it.
The Pale chapters with wordcounts near the bottom are the image-only bonus material, which I did not try to OCR (much less transcribe by hand, since I haven't read Pale yet and that seems like an inevitable way to get spoiled on important things. also doing things by hand is boring).
Wordcounts are slightly imprecise because they include things like the previous and next chapter links; I did not bother to remove those because you cannot see the difference anyway, but if I later publish summary statistics and they're a bit different than those you find elsewhere that's probably why.
