The comparative length chart really should have been based on word count, not pages. It is deceptive. The Harry Potter series is about 250,000 words more than MSPA in entirety, and 300,000 more than Homestuck singularly. But this chart implies that Homestuck is a longer read. Which is untrue, and it is dishonest to represent it as such.

Yeah I mean I don't see why you'd need to do that to make homestuck seem long. You could use totally honest charts to show it's still got a high as crap word count.

I actually started out with just the structure of MSPA alone, but then in the end there was a bit of empty space and I thought it would be neat to show how tall the books of MSPA would stack up to in comparison to other books. Of course it's a horrible metric for comparison by content, because that wasn't really the point.

average the words based on single pages and I can tell you that it won't even be HALF of the words Kankri has said in one chat
