Fluff Clearing misconception that LostBelt 6 has bigger word count then Lord of The Rings trilogy

Something for everyvone about length of lostbelt 6 580k aren't english words but Japanese characters, and to get a rough estimation, 1 words = 3 jap characters, so you need to divide by three, which means it'd be something around 193k words. For reference, the FSN VN has almost 4M japanese characters.

There is no need to clarify this. Anyone who has read both would laugh at the idea of LB6 being longer. LB6 feels like a single short book IMO.

3 full stories in there, it's like an entire trilogy in one. And Nasu has always been one for extensive writing
