#anyways. SY's reading speed when rereading pidw. I want it. give me the attention span sir. this is a robbery.

Do you ever think of Shen Yuan's concerningly fast reading speed given that PIDW was apparently roughly 20 million words in 20 days of a reread if he didn't skim the smut scenes?

Assume if he had at least 8 hours of sleep per day (because it divides nicer tbh) he would have to be reading about less than 62,500 words an hour... which is about 1042 words a minute at least. By the pure fact he skims over a lot of the smut, it's likely far less than that but if he actually did read it... I would be very concerned. Humans can reach that wpm, but it's a matter of if he did have that ability of how long is he actively reading at those speeds in my opinion... and not to mention other breaks he may take in the day to actually keep his body from actively dying too much. he may still be at that same percentage either way as it does seem that Airplane also just likes writing whump and just adding random things to the story may easily take a bunch of the story's word count as there's at least less than 100 wives canonically of what we know of pidw, and Airplane seemed to at least not immediately write smut at the first page so he could slow burn the people who kept buying chapters into buying more than one chapter to get to the sex scene(s). I appreciate the grind, but not the possible monster it created. 20mil evenly into 20 days is still a million words.
