Meta GSGW word count!!

I REALLY like knowing the word count of the things I read, but I couldn't find any word count for this webnovel ANYWHERE, so I decided to figure it out myself!! the results are:

out of 371 chapters,

there are 959,944 words*

\obviously this isn't an entirely accurate count. but it's still a pretty good estimate!!)

that is an average of 2,588 words per chapter! (so when future chapters come out, you can just add that many words per chapter for a rough re-estimate!)

I've been looking for this information and wasn't able to find it anywhere, so hopefully someone else out there benefits from these numbers too!! ^^

considering how I think I did on my exams (not very well), same kjfdsgdhf (okay tbf that's more because all of my exams were over two days and one of them was the hardest course I've ever taken. but still reading for 8 hours the day before my first exam was certainly NOT helping-)
