How many tens of thousands of words did a novel have?

I'm preparing to write a novel
It's almost 10,000 words
There's still a lot of content left unwritten
The students all said that it was quite well written
Let me submit…
It made my heart sprout…
Xixi!
Please advise me!

Answer 1

The length of a novel varied according to the genre, plot complexity, and other factors, but generally speaking, the word count of a novel was between 200,000 to 1 million words.

Among them, the classic novel, Dream of the Red Chamber, had about 780,000 words and was one of the longest novels in Chinese history, while the modern novel, Alive, had about 350,000 words and was also a very classic novel.

Of course, this was only a general situation. Some novels had longer word counts while others had shorter word counts. But generally speaking, it was common for novels to be between 200,000 to 1 million words long.
