Sorry, I should say in the context of English. No clue about foreign languages, and in any case, it's hard to measure length in other languages. Japanese is so different from English it's literally impossible to compare length accurately, for example. (They don't even separate words with spaces, or measure anything by wordcount. They use character count.)

Why do you say "google is your friend" then post verifiably false information? Malazan and Discworld are both shorter than Wheel of Time, which you could confirm very swiftly if you put in any effort.

Also, note that I said "published" specifically to exclude web fiction (since I knew, for example, that The Wandering Inn is longer. Web serials balloon to stupid length and I was intentionally excluding them. This is /sffg/ after all and we mainly talk about published books, not shitty web fiction.)

WoT is 4.5~ million words, whereas Savage Divinity is 3~ million words (you can go to the "statistics" part of a RR page to check). If you organize RR series by length and check the top few, only TWI is longer than WoT.
