Japanese reading profile

This indexed edition contains 128,940 Japanese characters across 13,201 sentences. By length it is at approximately the 76th percentile of the 335 indexed anime. Its vocabulary breadth is at approximately the 60th 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.
