Hum, actually his assistants said on an interview not too long ago that they were in the final stretch, so it's
plausible he has already finished the script for the remaining of the story, as such, it is also
plausible that berserk could be finished before this game, even when the author himself is no longer here, rest in peace Kentaro Miura.
*glasses off*
So reading this in 20-30 minutes? No, it doesn't seem likely.
I remember it took me the best part of an afternoon, so yea those claiming is 30~ are just talking out of their ass, or are skipping text will nilly, whether is text -or in this case just dialog- worth reading is another thing entirely.
(*) I used quick and dirty php script to remove commands and useless whitespace:
Personally, I use Note++, I find using regular expressions is better for this type of
cleaning.
Not really, those 488kB is clean text.
That's not exactly true, do not use file sizes for this type of comparisons, there's compression at hand here, so using data size is quite inaccurate, not that using words, lines, pages, or any other measurings of that type is that good either, but at least you're not including
something else into the mix.
I'm usually not one for taking any of those measures seriously, since writing is much more than just typing, saying I wrote x amount of words for this update tells me nothing of the quality of the text written, after all, "I" "..." "you" are very common for dialogue and are valid as words too. There's also

, something like Inktober but for novels, the challenge here is writing a novel in 30 days that is at least 50,000 words long, and thousands participate
and finish each year.
So to me measuring and update's worth by the "number of things" it has is not all that meaningful, I just do it because people seem to like boasting these raw values to validate or justify the delays.
Lastly, please don't compare works with a more deep and rich world and story to this game, lest you're saying Irphaeus invested five years just to build the world these characters live in.
