i don't think that's really fair, for example, in the slowest one I grew to hate Faile more than any other character in literary history, and that's technically a result of character exploration.
Me rn after i ran out of chapters that were adapted into manga form already so now im continuing with the original novel form instead. Its 5800 pages O.O i still have ~3000 left

I read Stephen King's "Insomnia" in one night.
When asked how I did it, I said it was easy, I didn't sleep.

I've read the entire wheel of time series.
Like.

900 pages is nice. It's enough to get me engaged, but not enough to drag.

I read a book called the History of Helium recently. I couldn't put it down!
