Word Counts Table
The below table lists the number of words for each entry into the Sun Eater series. It is divided into the following three categories:
- Story only: the text contained between the first and last chapter. Discounts everything else.
- In-universe text: includes everything between the first and last chapter, but also other in-universe texts such as dramatis personae, letters, lexicon, etc.
- Entire text: refers to the entire text, including copyright information, about-the-author sections, etc.
The method used to attain the word counts was a C# word counter script. For more information, see Word Counter Script.
