The length of a novel varies according to the subject, genre, author, and publisher, but generally speaking, an ordinary novel requires hundreds of thousands or even millions of words to complete. In the publishing world, the length of a novel was usually referred to as "word count" or "page count"."Word count" referred to the total word count of the novel, and "page count" referred to the number of pages in the novel. For online literature, the length of a novel also varied according to the platform and author, but it usually required hundreds of thousands of words or more. Some large-scale publishing platforms would conduct a word count review for novels, usually requiring a total word count of between 200,000 to 500,000 words. As for the number of pages in the novel, it was usually inverse to the number of words in the novel. The more words there were, the fewer pages there were. Therefore, a novel of 500,000 words usually needed about 300 pages. Of course, the specific number of pages needed to be adjusted according to the actual situation of different novels.
