Ø1000Ch per Novel Ø6 A4 pages (font size 12) per chapter = 6000 pages Ø2 (because most Novel (are A5) )= 12.000 Pages per Novel => inaccuracies we say 10.000 pages per Novel
A normal good romantic novel or action novel has about 800-1000 A5 Pages and costs between 10-20Euros or 15-25$
10.000 A5 Pages Chinese Novel / 800 A5 Pages normal western Novels = 12.5 (This is the amount how many normal western novel you would have to read for one chinese novel)
12.5 * 10Euro (15$) = 125Euro / 150$ if you take cheapest price of good novel
I think 200$ for good novel here ist not that far away from what you would have to pay for other books with this
kind of length
