The exact number of words in a novel depends on the requirements of the author and the publishing house, but usually a long novel is between 1 million to 3 million words. There may be shorter or longer novels. The length of the novel also depended on the complexity of the plot and theme, as well as the author's writing style and structure. Generally speaking, a novel needs at least two to six chapters to show the main plot. Each chapter usually needs thousands to hundreds of thousands of words. The novel also needed to include titles, chapter titles, paragraph titles, dialogue, and narrative language. All of these needed to be carefully designed to attract the reader's attention and construct the story world. The novel also needed to include a certain interval between each chapter to maintain the cohesiveness of the story. The length of a stanza varies from novel to novel, usually ranging from 1000 to 3000 words.
