The Wandering Inn is currently over 12 million words long.

The Wheel of Time is 4.4 million words long.

Apologize to OP, or I'll sic some goblins on you.

Holy crap, I had no idea Wandering Inn is that ridiculously long. I take it all back

It's all good. It's really crazy and most of the chapters are free on their website.

And the author makes a metric fucknton of updates per month. At one point I thought there might be ghost writers....but the author streams for patreon which is wild. So yeah no funny business.
