It would be helpful to have additional ways to browse worlds within a genre in order to find well developed worlds with a high amount of material to read. I suggest adding the ability to sort and display world results based on total article count and total word count.How does this feature request address the current situation?
The ability to search worlds by their total article count and total word count would help users discover worlds that have the most developed content, or at least narrow the search for developed worlds with abundant content.What are other uses for this feature request?

on 2022-03-29 23:19I like the idea but I am worried that this would encourage writers to "fluff" their articles with useless word count spam. Other metrics might achieve the desired result better, such as a combination metric of article count, word count, world age, and frequency of article creation.
