Web Novel Blurb Length Checker
Use the Web Novel Blurb Length Checker to count the words in one blurb and compare its length with catalog descriptions.

Check the length before you publish
Paste one proposed blurb and run the check. The result gives you the word count and the distance from the middle catalog range.
A short blurb can miss the conflict or genre signal. A long blurb can bury the hook. The count tells you where to look, but it cannot tell you which sentence to keep.
What the catalog benchmark covers
The benchmark uses 18,519 catalog descriptions. The middle half runs from 80 to 190 words. These records come from many sites, genres, and publication periods, so treat the range as a reference for editing.
Web Novel Blurb Length Checker FAQ
How does the Web Novel Blurb Length Checker work?
It counts the words in the blurb you paste and compares that count with description lengths in our web novel catalog. It shows whether the blurb sits below, inside, or above the middle half of the catalog.
What length should a web novel blurb be?
The middle half of catalog descriptions runs from 80 to 190 words, with a median of 126. Use that range as a reference, not a rule.
Does the checker judge the quality of my blurb?
No. It checks length only. You still need to review the hook, conflict, specific details, genre signals, and clarity before you publish.
