Regarding your big book fear - I recommend The StoryGraph. It's a bit like Goodreads but owned by a black woman instead of amazon and just better in general. One great feature: in addition to a book goal you can also set a page goal, that way a 1000+ page tomb actually counts more than a novella.

I love big books, I'm currently reading an English translation of a Chinese webnovel, there are 1613 chapters split into 10 books and in about 2 months I have read 1339 chapters and am now in book 8. Also planning to read the authors other 2 webnovels because of the links between them and also the writing style is something I actually quite like. It's not necessarily the best written book series I've ever read, but its been keeping me (relatively) sane since December. I think I've been reading up to 100 chapters in a day sometimes, the chapters aren't particularly long though, only abut 3000 words each. I did also read the entire Swallows and Amazons series in I think 3 months a few years ago and longest one of the books in the series is over 500 pages.

Also, I love that you are reading books that Kim Namjoon recommended as I for one love BTS and reading. Keep doing what you are doing as you are amazing!
