Increase word limit for Import Novel feature

Feature Request
I want to be able to use the "Import Novel" feature for manuscripts longer than 120,000 words. My current novel is 156,000 words, and the current limit makes the feature unusable for my project. Increasing this limit would allow authors of longer works to benefit from the automatic Story Bible population and Manuscript Analysis.

    Longer Word Count for IMPORT Feature of 150K or more

    For anyone who writes fantasy or fantasy romance as I do, longer word count options for the Import your Novel feature would be really great. In the live video tutorial it was said 130-150K words, but my book is 136K and I got the message that it exceeded the length and to upload something less than 130K in length.

    This is a potentially very valuable feature, especially useful for those who write longer novels. So it would be great if we could have access to it. Thanks so much!!

      Increase the maximum number of words that a project can have when importing

      Some of us have really long novels and 130k is not enough.

      Book Import - To Small

      I’m writing epic fantasy. My books are around 200,000 words when I have my ruff draft. I have to split it in two to import it, or export it, I would love to be able to easily work with a single project per book, so increase the max size of your import and export features.

    I agree. I write a lot then edit down. This raise in the import limit would be a gamechanger for me

    I am working on a Epic Fantasy novel, and I would love to import it and use Sudowrite far more than I do now, but need the limit to be a minimum of 250k words to work.

    I split the book in two parts, and that just creates so much work; it's easier to not use sudowrite to develop my novel. I use Sudowrite only to help me write when I get stuck, or want to reword something. An import and export for the novel that works for an epic (currently 240k words, and shrinking) novel would make it far more useful.
