Japanese reading profile

This indexed edition contains 125,008 Japanese characters across 12,986 sentences. By length it is at approximately the 73rd percentile of the 335 indexed anime. Its vocabulary breadth is at approximately the 56th percentile within the same group.

Those numbers describe the text, not your personal comprehension. A long work can contain more unique vocabulary while still becoming comfortable through repetition. DokiDokiDict's recommender uses your own known words and simulates the work sentence by sentence instead of assigning one universal level.
