I really like TCF, and I'm interested in book binding. So of course I was curious how much "book" would be needed to adapt the whole LN. I knew it was really long, so it'd take a couple big ones to include everything. Then I did some quick calculations and um. Uh. Well, here's a little math:

50k words at the minimum comfortable size and font comes out to approximately 100 pages. The average "largest" size books contains ~600 pages (at minimum size). That being said, it would kill me to read such tiny text for very long. Realistically, a comfortable font size (for me) would be 350 per page at most, so I'll be using that number moving on.

With that in mind, some of the more popular large book series like Eragon (906k total words, largest book having 280k words or 880 (803) pages) and Harry Potter (1M 84k total, largest having 257k or 870 (735) pages).

TCF has approximately 2M 150k words, 776 chapters. In part one. Ok, so... 2,150,000 words, with 1 page being ~350 words... that's 6143 pages. And if we gave each title in the series ~800 pages each, that's still 8 GIGANTIC books. TL;DR:

Eight books, 350 words per page, 800 pages each.

For reference, here's the A Song of Ice and Fire series, 1M 770k words, 4.2k pages (~400 words per page), 5 books total (~840 pages per book).

THAT'S A LOT OF BOOK.

#the trash of the count's family #Sorry the example image has like 10 pixels total LMAO #I was legitimately excited to try and make the series into a legit book that I could hold and show off #But THAT'S A LOT OF BOOK. WOW.#I don't have the patience to bind that many pages #For fun I looked up how long the average reader would take to read 2M words and uh #At average reading speed (300 wpm) it would take you 110 hours minimum. 95 if you're a fast reader (350 wpm)#If you were read for a solid 3 hours every single day it would still take you 32-37 days #If you were insane and burnout wasn't a problem you could read it in 19-22 days at 5 hrs a day #More fun numbers: avg words per chap for TCF is ~2.8k #I don't have that much time so I read about 400 chapters over the course of 1.5 months. That's abt 1.5 hrs of reading a day #Look at me being all healthy and stuff #Ahem. Anyways. I like numbers
