So, according to these statistics, the next story post could optimistically be as soon as Apr 2, 2021 with as many as 23700 words; it is expected on Apr 8, 2021( yes I know these dates have already passed, you know what statistics are) with 6247 words; and at the most pessimal should appear at Jul 1, 2021 with as few as 5561 words.
.... You do realize our dear, trollish author could well take this as a challenge to focus on his other stories instead, and then deliver a 1k or less update on July 2, 2021 just to mess with your math, right?
 
Ah. I have time then ;)
Yeah, sure. You do that, and I'll take Doctor Curlyhair out for hugs and maybe ice cream.

Asking Mppi to put out a 1 kiloword update is like asking Naruto Uzumaki to do the Academy clone technique. It's not going to happen.
 
So basically a post that's a cross between "I reject your reality and replace it with my own" and "challenge accepted".

In other words, a polite way of saying " Screw you, I make my own rules!".

At least we got a haiku out of it.

I had to repeat the wordz, so I poked the first random haiku generator I found and fed it some words.

Black glamourous card
before sneaky wordz snickers
above the lizardz

It did not use all the words I entered but it made some.
 
Decided to math out wordz of main story posts. (Not paying super-close attention to the data, automation is supposed to save time!)

(Large table elided)

The shortest chapter (omitting interludes, omakes, PHO segments) is, oddly, chapter 1. The longest chapter is 246.

Words/day statistics: min 61.7, median 2750, max 23700, with 29100 as highest posted on one day (246 and its incident report).
Chapter-day interval statistics: min 0 days (remember when two a day was normal?), mode 1 day, median 2 days, mean 5.7 days, max 159 days²90 days.
²oops, canonized guest omake got slotted in months after its ordering.

I mean, this is great, but your conclusions are based on a flawed premise and are therefore all wrong.

This isn't the only story that the Pi Man is writing.

In order for your conclusions to be useful, they would need to include all the chapters he has written for all his stories (and possibly also account for chapters in his snippets thread...)

Also, I think it should only include chapters and O'Make written by the author, not including canonized guest additions.
