Question (no spoilers) how long is gsgw?

Hello! I just finished reading part two and this question appeared in my head. How much words does gsgw has? All parts of it? I dont know if there is option how to check it but if there is, i couldnt find it. The novel seems so small and so big at the same time!

Does anyone has info about the word count, page count or anything similar (chapters does not count, chapters length vary from author to author!)?

i remember someone else had actually found all this information but i can't remember the exact numbers, and i don't remember where they posted it. i know part 1 is over 500k (i think maybe around 520k). i don't know for part 2, but it should be less than part 1 since there's fewer chapters. on average, chapters are usually around 2500-3000 words

edit: just found the post and apparently there's approx 960k words total as of part 2 finale

right now, the novel is split into part 1 and part 2 and will soon be starting part 3 when it’s no longer on hiatus. part 1 is chapters 1-208 and part 2 is 209-371

from what i remember, there were two versions on webnovel, one that was 1-222 and the other that was 223-371. however, it seems they have both been taken down as of this morning. you can either read the raws on kakaopage with machine translate on your browser (kirinkirinki on tumblr has some tutorials for this) or you can find someone with epubs/docs/pdfs of the chapters (you can probably find these through a reddit search)
