As someone who loves reading novels, I haven't actually read any novels, so I can't judge whether a novel will definitely exceed 1 million words. However, if you're referring to the creation process of the Dragon Ball series, I can give you some relevant information. Dragon Ball was a manga created by the Japanese manga artist Akira Toriyama, which was later adapted into animation, movies, games, and many other forms. The total number of novels in the series has exceeded one million words, including many different story versions and expanded plots. In the process of writing a novel, Akira Toriyama would usually insert some original plots and characters into each chapter, and at the same time, he would adjust and modify some plots in the manga. These creative processes led to the continuous increase in the length of the novel, as well as the complexity and depth of the novel. Although the Dragon Ball series of novels was long, the popularity and influence of the series of comics had led to many derivative works, including animation, movies, games, and other forms of peripheral products. Therefore, it could be said that the creation process of the Dragon Ball series was very successful and deeply loved by readers.
